Stop and Go

How many times have you formulated a goal for yourself -- whether to lose weight, exercise, or move forward in your career -- only to find yourself derailed by your other responsibilities? This happens to most women more often than we admit. Before we know it, our own goals get shelved and we continue living our lives; but with a nagging sense of disquiet, a slow-burning frustration that can explode at any moment. And then our spouses wonder, "What's wrong with you?"

I'm a witness to as well as a player in this "stop and go" phenomenon. I'm here not only to attest to the erratic movement of our lives, but also to state with conviction that we do have the ability to take charge if only we stop waiting for permission to do so. Join me in this endeavor. Tell me what you are doing to be fulfilled and happy in your own life.
