Freedom

I watched a friend retire yesterday. We had amazing day watching someone who was not 75...not 65...but she is 30 something. She retired from her day job to pursue helping people the way she wants to. She replaced her income. Being there watching her....watching all the people there for her...it caused me to dream just a little bit. Even though I am home with the kids...I dont feel completely free. My dream is to have Mike home with us too. Not to be unemployed and sit around the house and do nothing all day. But to experience real freedom. At the party someone said,"You dont know who you are until you are free." That freedom is the freedom to choose what you do that day and everyday....the freedom to go when and where you want to go....freedom from financial stress...freedom with your options....freedom to give as you please....and to give as much as you want without worrying if you have enough....freedom from worry....freedom from work stress....free to just be.... with no restraints. Sounds unheard of....even reading it back. But I know people who live like that. They either do what I do or they have figured out some other way to take control of their time and money.....something that other people haven't figured out yet.

I think its funny that people think that I believe that my biz is the only way...or what I want everyone to do. LOL.....no...I want people to experience freedom in what ever form it comes to them....to stop believing that working for someone else is the only way....but even more importantly I want people to not only dream, but believe their dream is possible. I know....the word dream...it sounds so far fetched. All I know is I didn't have kids to send them to a sitter 5 days a week for 10 hours a day and see them for 3 hours....or get married to spend those same 3 hours a day with my hubby...maybe more depending on traffic. I know there is more to life.

I want to be able to serve people....to give my time when and where people need it. And I know a lot people think this is crazy but I want to spend more time with my hubby. I've talked to plenty of people who say that they wouldn't want to spend every day with their husband home....but I have to say, " You dont know who you are until you are free." and you dont know who he is. When all stresses are gone expect the ones you can't control and you can do what you want.....your life is redefined. I could be like dating all over again.

All I know is life is too good....and there are too many things that I haven't seen or done with my family that I want to do....that I'm going to do.

I gotta get moving....so much to do....so little time. =0) its gonna be a great day
