It’s been a long haul but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Taking my 13th course now, three more to complete the MBA. I’ve done well, despite a full time job, homeschooling, etc. But I am faltering, I have a paper due in two weeks (less than two weeks) and I haven’t even started to take notes. I just don’t want to do this anymore, I want to read novels, knit sweaters, I don’t want to do this anymore. But I CAN’T give up. Success breeds success, and it doesn’t matter that I’ll probably never use this degree, that at my age it isn’t even marketable. What matters is how great I’ll feel once it’s over. And what I’m experiencing now, on the verge of achievement, is resistance. What is resistance but fear. So what am I afraid of? What’s wrong with succeeding, finally?

What an interesting concept

OK, so I stole this goal from Jennifer in Washington state, but I just love it. Truthfully, I think I’m already “one of those cool moms.”
