… the storm is only just beginning.

I don’t want to sound too cliche here with the whole “dust storm” thing, but I really am feeling like a crazy whirlwind right now. Think of the Tasmanian She-Devil.

I just got back from Long Beach where I spent the most amazing three days learning from an incredibily inspirational mentor, Lisa Sasevich, at her Impact & Influence training. It was, to put it mildly… incredible (that was, of course, once I finally got there – I was delayed for luckily less than 24 hours as I quickly got the stomach flu and just as quickly booted it back out). Definitely exactly where I needed to be (the conference, not the flu…LOL – are you sensing some Monday sarcasm here?).

Thanks, Hon, for watching the boys for me so I could go! (I’m really trying to live what I try to teach Zack and Brayden about following your dreams, and Mommy is going after hers)

My butt’s been on fire for quite some time now (not literally, ouch!) to get my L&MH business up and running. I’m tired of telling people “I’m starting a business” or “I’m in the pre-launch phase of my business.” It’s time. It’s time, NOW.

So, I had a whirlwind weekend, I just added a few more logs to the fire, and I am (one step at a time) moving towards my big business launch. WOW! I feel really good about it because I have such a strong passion and a clear mission: To help women heal from Postpartum Depression. I know what I need to do and I’m doing it, and, as I mentioned last week, I’m getting help – such an important concept. Ask for help!

It’s important to me to be a good Mother, and part of that is showing Zack and Brayden that I am also my own person, with my own dreams and wishes. I believe that by going after what I want, they can see that I am taking care of myself. It was much easier for all of us when I went out of town these past few days. They knew I was going to be leaving (I prepped them well in advance), and they saw I was happy about it. They also knew I would miss them and would call them to talk and tell them I loved them, and that I would be coming home. Also so important – letting them know when I would be home.

When I got home yesterday we were all so excited to reconnect. I still came home to the same parenting and household issues, but with a much more relaxed mindset. I had some time away to refresh from my Mommy duties, as well as refuel my heart’s passion. I feel happier, calmer and definitely more driven and focused. I would say, that I am inspired. Inspired to be a better Mother (which is always something I am striving for), inspired to be my own person, and inspired to take action on my business.

My question to you: What gives you inspiration and how do you take action on that?
