Day 1......

Core phase... A time of play, childlike imagination and no set schedule..... Something this type 2, who has had a very structured conveyor belt type mentality is not totally sure hoe to approach. And that's just the thing, due to the nature of this phase, there isn't a way that someone could tell me how exactly to do it. I am learning to be a leader, not a follower, therefore I create my own path. Today has been a struggle. It is day 1 by myself. I did well this morning, however this afternoon has proven to be my challenge. Kids were arguing, interrupting a business meeting and baby wouldn't sleep. I lost control.... So I bossed them, vented frustration and gave myself a headache.

Sometimes I don't know how to effectively communicate to all of them at the same time. I do good one on one...... 

Here's to another step on the journey and becoming an effective person myself  :)

Date night.... Core style

So part of my homework in core phase is to have fun, do what I want when I want... And to play!!  So instead of the same old eat out for date night, hubby and I bought Scrabble, some ice cream and Dr. Pepper. This was one if the funniest dates in a whole :) We were a bit creative, bending the rules just a little bit - by going backwards and upwards.... And we had lots if dictionary and unscramble help. Either way we used all the tiles and had many more giggles. We learned and we laughed. That's what it's about!

Starting Over

In the beginning there was a woman who thought she knew who she was, until she asked God to show her. 

She soon came to realize she knew nothing of herself; how to be a mom, wife, sister and daughter. This is where God said I will mold you into who I want and need you to be, so you can do my work. She responded, yes Lord. 

He then asked her what it was she wanted to learn first. She said charity and how to embrace joy and pleasure in every aspect. Then He told her, your dream is my gift to you.

I am that woman, I am on that journey. He has brought me back to the beginning. The beginning of me, life and where I belong. Which is beyond where I fit.

 This journey begins here, now, and is called the Core Phase. This is a time of play, learning right from wrong, learning the LOVE of work and developing relationships. It feels I may be here for some time.
