A big step forward...

My method of self-improvement could be described by one word...incremental. I've always explained to people that life is like a marathon.... if you take even one step forward, you will eventually reach your destination. What I failed to mention is that if you move too slowly.... by the time you reach the finish line.... the party will have ended and everyone who waited around to see your accomplishment will be home in bed awaiting the next day. So while we all move at different paces and some of us begin the race in different places, we must all take measurable steps each day towards our dreams. Only then will we experience the unexplainable joy that comes with accomplishing each difficult and time-consuming goal. 
 
This blog is a big step among many baby steps I have previously taken. In my journey of becoming an entrepreneur, published author, business-owner, life coach, amazing mom, devoted wife, and head of a non-profit organization (yes, I will be all of these things!), I have begun the baby steps forward. But now it is time to take bigger steps. Just as a baby's stride grows wider as time passes, so too am I ready to take bigger steps. Documenting each step in this blog and sharing this journey with you provides me with a sense of accountability as well as a sense of community. Dreams often become realities when they are shared with others. Today I invite you to follow me as I set out to live my dreams and encourage you to share comments and words of encouragement along the way. If I can inspire you and find inspiration in you, that positive energy will propel all of us closer to turning our dreams into our realities.
