Random thoughts and observations from CAM

Reboot

on November 10, 2015

After a 10 month break from writing, I am back.  I have done a lot of writing in my head that hasn’t made it to this blog.  I have had a million ideas on topics I would like to share that have gone undocumented.  But now that will change.  Whenever someone tells me something has changed in business, I ask ‘why now and who will be held accountable?’  I have to ask the same of myself today.

I realize that there are some areas in my life that need a reboot.  My health, my relationships, work/life balance, and my overall quality of life.  In the 10 months that have passed, my dearest friend has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.  During that same period, I have invested $20k to adopt a baby.  Also in recent months, I have become incredibly close to 3 young girls who live across the street, who lost their mother to cancer last year.  Unfortunately for me, those big things haven’t driven the personal change within me that is needed.  I haven’t seen my dearest friend as much as I would like and I don’t speak with her more than once every week to 10 days.  I haven’t finished the mountain of paperwork required to complete the next 2 very necessary steps in the adoption process, so the baby formula that is in my kitchen pantry sits unopened.  And now my 3 “adopted” daughters from across the street are moving back to Mongolia to live closer to their grandparents and I am heartbroken.

I have to figure out a way to maximize my day, take better care of myself, and prioritize the areas that are important to me.  I need to get rid of a lot of “stuff” in my home/life and simplify.  I believe that if I do this I will find the laughter that has been lost in recent years and I will improve the quality of all of my relationships.  And it will all start tomorrow, which is 5 minutes away.  I am not sure how I will do it, but I will.  We will share the journey together.  And I will need your support, when I am tired.  So for now, I will say goodnight and I look forward to an amazing journey.
