Let the countdown begin

Here it is oficially 10 days before my 40th year of life and so much has happened in that time. But I find myself in deep thought about the next 10 years and where I want to be. It has been quite a minute since I have had to get up, go into a job where you fist make somebody else rich, then you have to deal with being treated like another number, your views/thoughts/comeents are not respected or considered, when you stand up for what you believe in you are called insubordinate, and you are NOT respected as a person.

And I must admit it feels good to not have to deal with that crap. My family sees more of me and our bound is a lot stronger (not that it wasn't strong to begin with). But here I am about to be 40 and life does take on a much more serious role for me. I am becoming more aware of, and caring a lot more about and find myself being definately concerned about what tomorrow holds for us. I look at our children and they are growing up fast. I am concerned about their tomorrow, I am concerned about what I can do today to insure they have a tomorrow to look forward to and I ask myself have I put myself in a place where I can contribute to their tomorrow.

Of course I don't think I have but I stand on something that will allow me to possibly do that. Been involved in a lot of things that has definately utilized my skills and talents but they have inspired me to press forward towards my dreams and breakthroughs. No doubt that what I currently see is truly meant for me to be in but it is also meant for me to grow on and into.

Meeting lots of people and enjoying it but also working a better presentation of who I am, what I do, what I have to offer and how we can grow collectively. I appreciate the time I gave to other companies to make them a tad bit richer but in the end got treated like my contributions didn't mean crap. What they failed to forget or didn't look at was this...they EMPOWERED me with the ability to seek my own if I so choose and GOD allowing it.

So now I am being moved to just that and I am loving the responses. I strongly believe this is the YEAR of my BREAKTHROUGH and I am excited.

Keep your eyes open for it.
