September Report

Goodness gracious, when did it become September already!? This is a month of realizing JOY in my life. Purge the bad, the mundane, the things and people that drag me down, and fill it with love, joy, and life satisfaction.

My priority has been getting Fintan into a decent school. With that task knocked off the list, what's next?

Maybe I'm having a kind of a mid-life crisis, in which I am not feeling much in the way of job, life, or recreational satisfaction. It's probably just a lull after a jam-packed August full of vacation and personal projects. I just had a great vacation at my mom's and a trip to Atlanta with fabulous friends. I've been promoting my book, which isn't easy to gain traction and momentum, but it's kind of fun.

I was able to remind myself tonight of what really makes me tick, while standing at Poquito Mas waiting for my to-go order:

I choose my life purpose to be: create, inspire, extrapolate, design, educate, and entertain. I can combine broad scientific knowledge, project management principles, and wild imagination to do or make things no one has thought of before. I want to inspire my son's life with ideas he can achieve in his lifetime for an even better tomorrow.

This was true three years ago and is still true today. Tony Molina gave me the tools to figure this out a few years ago when he transformed my life, and now I am tasked with execution. And if the execution is play, it won't be work. And if it's not work, it's passion and fun and fulfillment!

Also this month: the Nautica Malibu Triathlon... I'm as ready as I'll ever be! Can't wait to be out there among the excitement, the buzz, my beautiful teammates, and gorgeous Malibu weather!
