Week Six

             As I’ve been reading “Mastery” by George Leonard, along with the talks and articles from the lesson this week I feel a sense of relief knowing that I can become what I want and be where I want with the help of the Lord.

             Since I was a little girl playing with my dolls, I have always wanted to be a stay-at-home Mom. I had in my head that my husband would be able to provide and take care of me and the children. I wanted 5 kids, all two years apart, and I would be completely done having children by the time I was 30. Oh, how time can change so quickly. On February 25, 2015 my daughter was born. I was so excited and so scared to become a Mom. However, at that time there was absolutely no way I would be able to stay-at-home with my daughter. I had to go back to full-time employment. Six years later, my husband and I are expecting another little girl in April. I find myself with the same problem. I want to be home with my children, however, we are living on a dual income and basically need to be until my husband is out of school.

             I now realize, that in order to make this dream a reality I need to also implement some additional goals. The older I get, the more I see that I want to still be a stay-at-home Mom but I need to also work from home. The hours I want to work need to be adjustable. I have come to the conclusion that I can jump onto my dreams by starting my freelance business. The more I read and comprehend from starting your own business the more I realize how possible this actually is. Especially if I bring the Lord into my decisions and ask for clarification if I’m in the right direction to reach my stay-at-home Mom goal.
