On a Mission

I am a woman on a mission.  I am on a mission to simplify my life, and I am on a mission to re-discover joy, hope and love.  I went through an intense mediation training program this past week, and it was an eye opener.  I now have a new aspect of potential business for work, something I have wanted to do for a very long time.  I was waiting for credibility, or at least perceived credibility, and I realized I could have done this some time ago.  So I am ready to put the marketing gear into motion and develop some new business.  But along the way, I developed some skills that can help me throughout my personal life.  I can actually use this training to help people and to help bring about resolution.  Resolution is so much better than conflict.  Funny I should say that because my job is all about conflict.  Anyway, I learned what my personality type is, and reading some of the descriptions was some what scary.  Because it was like I was reading a description of me.  I thought I was unique!  But I am person who likes structure, goals and accomplishment.  I am not a risk taker. 

So I want to simplify my life, our lives.  And along the way, I want to have some fun too.  Joe and I are doing something we haven't done in a long time and going on an adventure to Nashville on Tuesday.  Our good friend, Joe Robbins is going to stay here and take care of our boys.  But we are driving over to Nashville Tuesday, meeting Harvey and Jacquelyn for dinner at the Palm, then going to see BB King and Buddy Guy in concert.  But it gets better, because they are playing in the Ryman Auditorium, the original home of the Grand Ole Opry.  I can remember as a child riding with my parents in the car in downtown Nashville, and seeing people standing in line in the hot summer Saturday afternoons waiting to get in to see the Opry.  It is an incredible place, and to see these two musicians is going to be a real treat.
