Planning 2018

I've been working on my bullet journal for 2018. I've been coming up with ideas about the new year and how to make things work. I've been thinking about the things I can do with the kids. And, about things I need/want to accomplish. I'm getting excited. I'm trying to get closer to living a half way normal life. I still miss Layne - yet, at the same time trying to get used to doing things on my own. I know if I'm able to get a plan going - I'll be able to accomplish a few things. I feel like the last little bit I've had some days when I've been able to get a few things done. That feels good. I want to keep the momentum going.

Income Options

So, I've been thinking more about what to do for income. I feel like there are multiple options. I also feel like what I would like to do the most - I have no idea where to start. I've been attempting to do some research. I've also been trying to do a couple of figure out who you are kinds of things. I really have a desire to help others and attempt to do something that I would both be good at and enjoy.

The Message

Jonny and I have talked about career stuff before. This morning I asked him about mine. Okay...so, what he thought my strengths were. The first thing he said was that I was good at sharing opinions. Then it was, you like taking lots of pictures...and traveling...so do that. Oh, and you have lots of blogs so that could be in there too. You could travel around taking pictures and share stuff with people. How did he know that's what I would LOVE to do? I have thought before about having a travel site (which I've started), taking/sharing lots of photos along the way, and sharing some sort of message. I told him that part too - I feel like there's a message I need to share with others. We talked about finding my message. Oh, and where to share...YouTube, FaceBook. I would love to travel around, meet people, share a message that mattered, take pictures of awesome places/things - and just share it all. Guess I better figure out my message!

Multiplying Time

This was published a couple of years ago. I just found it. Good stuff.

Bullet Journal

I was out of town for a week. I have since watched several videos about how to bullet journal and actually put one together for myself. We'll see how it goes. I like how I can do my own format. I can add whatever I want where I want. I still need to work on following through on actually accomplishing the tasks I set out to do for the day. I'm hopeful.

Purpose

This blog was going to originally be about helping my kids. We were doing the public school thing at the time and I realized I had gained quite a bit of experience and a few tips on how to advocate for your child in the public school system. We have been homeschooling for the past several years. I no longer need to work with the faculty/staff to help my children with their IEP goals and 504 needs. I don't know all of the ins and outs of the current system. There were also other professionals I was working with in regards to my children. I'm not working with them anymore either. So, not much of a need for a blog that covers that anymore.
I'm going to be focusing more on my journey. In all of that helping with the kids - I discovered that there's a 96.5% chance that I'm Adult ADD. I learned quite a bit about Executive Functioning at the time and now realize that it's going to be a journey for me to figure out what works best and how I can achieve my goals and fulfill needs. So, instead of this being about my kids...it's now about me.
My kids also have some executive functioning issues. That's how all of this started. The things I will be learning, sharing, and trying to work on are also things that I will be helping them with as well.
