I will be honest and share that that didn't sit well with me. For who am I but me? I have been a host of different versions of me, and this new one is quite a powerhouse. The merging and solidifying of so many different aspects of me into this woman I am becoming is not a "just me" woman. She is an unstoppable force. One who leads with love and light, and a little sit down and just do it! attitude. She is a partner, an unbelievable friend, leader, and mother. She adventures, lives freely, and loves openly. If you thought that the woman who started this blog, the mother, wife and PhD student was impressive, well prepared to be amazed over the course of the next few years.
It will be messy, it will be beautiful and it will not be perfect. I have no desire for it to be perfect. There will be mistakes, big ones, massive ones and little ones. Yes, I am sure that there will be lessons in the mistakes, but it's not about the silver lining or always about the blessings that come from those. In the mistakes is the learning of "who I am not" to quote a dear friend. For I learn more in the mistakes of "who I am not" than I do when I am actively seeking who I am. There is beauty in the imperfections that is not found in perfection. As I proceed I don't want to be told I doing things perfectly, I want to be acknowledged for my successes and my imperfections, for it is these that will help keep me balanced.
To quote one of my favorite books "it's gonna be a bumpy ride!"
