I see myself as an influential leader in business: taking charge in meetings, juggling projects, and making change happen. I want to be that go-to person that co-workers come to when they need help problem-solving and making decisions. I want to manage my day and help others manage theirs. I know I can do this because I've done it before.
I also see myself as a stay-at-home mom: waking up while everyone else in the house is asleep and starting my day with a hard run; making breakfast for my family and kissing my husband good-bye as he heads off to work; drinking coffee all morning with my kids while we read books, craft, and play; meeting up with other stay-at-home mommas for walks and talks. The list could go on and on.
The truth is, I'm unsure of how plausible either of these dreams are for the near future, and I'm scared that the longer I wait to turn one of them into reality, the more willing I'll be to let go of both and settle into life as-is. So...let the encouraging self-talk begin, let the worry fade, and let me choose my path, fearlessly.
