Funluvnlearnin' For All

It's been a while since I've last posted anything, reason in part due to some changes in my life this past year.
One of my goals for 2013 was to start school.  It was a goal that I wanted put out in the Universe, but hadn't really done much about in regards to SMART goals and actually making movement towards it.  Finally, around September-ish, my sister was looking into going back to school and she of course gave my information to her advisor-  because I did say that I wanted to go back to school...didn't I?  Well, long story short, I got in and started taking classes at Ashford University in November 2013; and I LOVE it!

Now, I cannot say that it is easy homeschooling, working AND going to school...but I feel absolutely wonderful!  Why?  Because I am modeling to my girls that it is NEVER too late to go after your dreams.  As long as you are living you can move forward, even if at a snails pace.  Even snails get there eventually!

Also, I feel energized!  My brain is in overdrive, but not in a bad way.  I feel open, like I can do all this and more.  I feel challenged and motivated...and well, capable.  I haven't felt like this in a long time.  I am seeing things in new light and it's kind of like that show with the cute guy that was a renowned Psychologist and Professor that had schizophrenia that could "see" patterns and things in his mind-  LOL, no, I don't have schizophrenia, but for lack of another visual to describe my feelings- it's like I can see things more clearly and how they fit together in my life.  (Ha, as I read this back to myself I wonder how many of you will think that I am crazy...but I am so overjoyed with excitement and pride that I just HAD to share this!)

In addition to all this, my girls are also being more motivated to pursue their interests and "go" after things that we are studying with more fervor.  They are asking questions about college.  They want to sit with me while I work on my course work.  They are curious and interested in not only what I'm doing but how it applies to them.  So, overall this college thing...however, stressful...is a Funluvnlearnin' event for all of us.

Blessings to you all...
