"Put on Your Big Girl Panties"

We women have been mastering our multi tasking and organizational skills from such an early age. Remember those “days of the week panties?” Those vivid memories of getting ready for school, digging from my bureau Monday’s pink floral selection to start the week off perfectly, make me smile. We were laser focused at the onset committed to matching our panties to the correct day of the week. If laundry wasn’t up to snuff, there would be hell to pay for all those who got in the way of our tumultuous whirlwind.

How could the habits and rituals of our childhood have any relation to who we are today?
We can reflect upon first of all who we were as a young child. Can you remember the dreams you had or what you “knew” you would never want to have more of in your life? Can you recall fond memories from your past that you want to create more of for your own children in the future? Recognize the significance all of this has in your life today, shaping who you are and where you are going. It is significant.

In my much younger days I wanted to create a better world. This carries over today in the passions that I have and the work that I do. I made a decision for myself and my family to work from home providing other entrepreneurial parents opportunities so they too can spend more quality time with their children living fulfilled lives. Freedom is established, more charity can be given and love and gratitude is shared.

My Mom was a single parent raising four kids on her own, and I barely ever saw her between the three jobs that she worked. Growing up I can recall her sleeping on the couch every night sacrificing the warmth and comfort of her own bed for us kids. She worked, worked, worked and all that she worked her entire life for she never got to enjoy. I am ete
ally grateful for all that my mother did for us and would do anything now to alleviate the hardship & sacrifice she endured. She passed away the year before her retirement, still working 3 jobs. That to me, even since I was a little girl, was not the way I wanted life to be. I can’t help my mother now, but I can make absolutely certain that I do everything in my power to help families from having such a life.

If we want our lives to be different, we must be willing to do different things. We can easily recognize what doesn’t work in our lives. So how can we make that different?
Think about that younger self and the dreams you had. Think about all that you want to create and have more of in your life. You are a force of nature and have the ability to live your ultimate life, designing it on your terms. We can no longer settle for less than that. Take back control of the sacrifice and sorrow you allow to enter into your life. The time is now for you and your families! Put on your Big Girl panties and go make it happen! No more excuses, no more blaming or complaining. You are in charge!
