Yet another challenging couple of weeks in this job, has really got me thinking about my life. This new “mantra” I tried to establish, didn’t work out so well. It was to encourage me to WORK to LIVE, not vice versa. Now my work-life balance is completely out of whack.

I’m wanting to try something new for size. Perhaps, I’m just living life in fear. Yes, I have this outstanding, unique job, my family loves me, and I know there are others out there that would love to wrap their arms around me. Yet, I haven’t taken any chances. I’m so afraid of screwing up, that I don’t allow myself to make the mistakes I need to progress. New mantra: Take risks and forever hold your peace.
