We get one shot at this thing called life. As women, we often talk about finding that nirvana of personal and professional fulfillment, but it seems like most of our lives (heck, most of our days) are spent just trying to get from one end of the day to the other.
So often, our lives become covered up with carpools, making lunches, shuttling to dance class, and helping with homework. The idea of holding up a dream, studying it, working towards it, and bringing it to life can seem overwhelming and out of reach. In my 20’s my dream looked something like this: Go to medical school, study like a madman, earn top scores, become a pediatrician, and ride off into the sunset.
In my 30’s things changed (funny how meeting your soulmate and starting a family changes things!) and the dream began to look a little more like this: Survive sleepless nights with a newborn (eventually 3 times over), nurture them, protect them, be present for them, teach them, feed them, enrich them. Oh and there’s a husband that I’d like to spend a little bit of time with too!
So, you can see how, by mid-way through my 30’s, I was forced to come face to face with the idea that the original dream and the current dream didn’t gel with one another. Am I sounding familiar to anyone at all? Fast-forward to my favorite decade yet, my 40’s. (Although I am told that my 50’s will be even more wonderful and fulfilling!)
