As long as I can remember I have been flying by the seat of my pants. After college I had to move to the biggest city I could find. I moved to Los Angeles and after a couple of years to Atlanta.

It's All About Family

For me, life was about seeing how much I could do, see and have. A few years ago a neat thing happened to me, I attended a workshop that gave me a snapshot of my life. Since then I have slowed down, gotten focused and created better relationships than I have ever had before.

What happened? Well, a part of me simply returned home. When I used to return home to see my family I was so busy thinking about what I needed to be doing next that I missed special moments with my loved ones that I so desperately needed…. but didn’t even know.

I think its funny how in life we tend to return back to places and things that we once neglected. We often take our past and create such a story that we decide that it would be horrific for us to ever have to relive or revisit any of it.

I have found the opposite to be the case. Once I slowed down, took notice of the conversations that I was having in my head and gave myself a clean slate, I began to enjoy things that I had so often neglected. Family is where it is at for me.

My family is not ‘fly by the seat of the pants’ like me, but they sure are wonderful in who they are. I love to return home now and I have also concluded that we are ALL family anyway, so where ever I go I act as if I am simply returning home. Life sure is rich and I choose to live every minute of it.
