What? 2 posts in one day?! That's crazy talk! Well, people, its happening! The girls are napping while this Momma is talking the quiet time to talk to you fine folks!
Everyone has dreams, goals and aspirations in life... a career one has achieved, a business one has opened. What drives you? What makes you wake up every morning and put a smile on your face? Is it driving 2 hours in traffic in a busy city, one way to the job you hate? (Love my job- BTW). Is it the thought of a upcoming vacation or a memory of a loved one?
Though I once aspired to be a nurse, my role as a Momma has enriched my life beyond measure. I thoroughly enjoy to little things and making memories with my little ladies. Boy and I are blessed with 3- 12 hour shifts/week that allows us to raise our girls and be there for their milestones. I am forever grateful. While it may not be the role of BSN, it is the role of something so much greater.
Yes, I may return to school once the girls are older, but for now, I'm enjoying my babies. There is no shame in that.
Times I can't imagine my life outside of healthcare. It has been my comfort zone since I was 18. It's all I've ever known as an adult in the workforce.
Though there are dreams of a time when I leap out of my comfort zone and open a window front business. Somewhere my girls can grow up in and we can flourish as a family owned business.
There are tons of local, historic window front businesses that sit empty for years, drifting away in the days gone by.
The geeky, adventurous part of me has always been curious how it may feel having something to call my own, to call all the shots. Decisions and plans would have to be made and opportunities would have to be taken, but it makes my mind tinker.
Seeing a local coffee shop and a local burger joint- both successful, sprout up and take flight has been my inspiration. Time shall tell.
Dreamers of dreams...
