The Good Life

Have you ever had a dream that you knew deep in your gut you wanted to do, but you had no clue how you would do it? That is such a vague question I know, but I can’t even figure out how to ask it, so I am going to tell you a story.

When I was in my twenties I had this feeling that I wanted to write a book. I thought it was going to be a children’s book. True story. I even have books at my house that were given to me by my bestfriend Ginger to encourage me along the journey. I would talk about it and I would have ideas, but nothing ever really happened.

In my thirties I started having kids. Anyone who has ever raised kids knows what happens to MOST moms, not ALL moms, but most. We put our dreams on hold for those precious children of ours. I did and I know many a woman who has. And hear me when I say this….there is truly no right or wrong decision to that situation. I think we all do the best we can where we are when we are there. I know, another vague statement…..Kind of full of those today! Just go with me.

Point is, we start having kids. Their lives, along with our spouses lives, leave little to no life left for us. At least that is the lie we buy into. I bought into it BIG TIME! Until my mom got sick. I remember sitting with her on her hospital bed and we were talking about heaven. I was asking her if she was scared to go and we got into a very beautiful conversation. So beautiful I started taking notes. She asked what I was going to do with those notes. I remember shrugging and saying, “I don’t know, but maybe I can write a book for Graeme about death so he is not scared when you leave us.” She said even if I did not write “THAT” book, she knew I had a book in me and when the time came I would write it.

This is the day my mom said I should write a book. I documented it because I wanted she and I to remember this day when the book came out. Sadly she is not here to see it, but I know she is in spirit. As you can see by the look on her face she was not thrilled with me wanting to take this picture! Ha!

You know what? She was right! I did have a book in me. Not a children’s book, not a fictional book, not an autobiography, but a journal! A journal that she played a part in inspiring me while writing it. Even after she had been gone from this earth 3 years, she inspired me! How cool is that?

I am so proud and so excited to announce that The Good Life Journal is here! It is really here and it will be ready to ship this week! I can hardly believe it! But it is happening! And it is happening because:

First, I had a thought: “I want to write a children’s book or do something to help other’s”.

Second, I dreamed about it and spoke about it. I spoke it into the universe. I circled it in prayer, all the while not really knowing what “IT” was. Just persistently circled “It” and persistently asked God to reveal “It” to me.

Third, I surrounded myself with like minded people who believed in me and encouraged me.

Fourth, I got the courage and I pursued the heck out of “It”!

Lastly, I did not stop until I was proud!

I AM SO PROUD OF ME! I DID IT! AND IT FEELS GOOD! The Good Life is Real!

Here is the coolest thing about what I did! I developed a journal that is my own four step process to The Good Life. It is the four steps I have been doing daily since 2017. I firmly believe because of these four steps my life is better, I am a better person, and my dreams are coming true, because I know I am loved, I love me, and I am able to spread that love to others, all the while being filled with the Holy Spirit.

If you have a dream, if you feel you have put your dreams aside, if you have lost yourself, if you are sleep walking through life, if you feel alone, or if you just want to get to know you better, then I want to encourage you to buy my journal and take the next 66 days to get to know yourself and the One who created you more. Miracles will begin to happen. I promise!
