I have been drafting and redrafting my first blog post and have gotten no where. I want it to be inspiring, clever, intelligent. I want it to be everything. And so, I have yet to post anything. I am stuck wanting perfect.
I have let go of this perfect first post and am skipping to the second.
On Wanting Everything (and right now!)
Go big, aim high, buy new, work towards that big promotion to get the best office, buy the biggest house, have a large master bedroom, rooms for each kid. Trying a new sport? Better go out and buy the best of all the equipment you might need. Being busy and bragging about it means that you are having it all.
More recently as a new mom I hear: have a career, lose that weight, be there for baby, but have your own life. Make sure up your baby is ahead of the pack , teach them early, grow up fast. Do it all now.
Is that really the best? Is that everything?
I am redefining the best in my own life. With inspiration from blogs such as becomingminimalist., bemorewithless, theminimalistmom, zenhabits and slowyourhome. I am setting out on a journey to simplify and refocus my life.
With a 6 month old baby boy simplifying has a different meaning to me. I want to try and keep toys to a minimum focusing on quality not quantity. I want experiences not things. Travel not TV. Face to face not text messages. While I am not a cook, I want homemade not prepackaged. I want to redefine what it is to have everything.
Please join me on this journey.
