How I did it: We had a great real estate agent who hired a consultant to come in and tell us what to do to prepare the house for selling. Three pages of stuff to do. it was hard but worth it. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I took classes, read a lot of literature, decided on a research topic, did a pilot study, defended my proposal, did the research, wrote my dissertation, and defended my dissertation. Read how I did it…
How I did it: My sister recommended Arnica, a homeopathic drug. I don't really believe in homeopathy but for $7 it didn't hurt. I took it as recommended. Also, I had a lot of gas in my gut and I took probiotics which helped a lot. Also ate yogurt every day. Read how I did it…
I don’t know when to give up this goal. Or when to move it down on my list. I feel guilty staring into her eyes in the photograph thinking I’ve abandoned trying to find her. I did so much but I feel like a bad person for not trying hard enough. Oh Maya, why didn’t you just get yourself found?
But I stopped all the running and weight lifting and hiking and now am terribly out of shape again. My weight is 15 pounds higher than it was 2 years ago and I feel yucky. Reading back over how happy I was to be working on this goal really makes me think. What happened to me? I am moving this goal to first place. Higher than finding Maya.
My son will attend his classes.
He will wear a bike helmet.
He will do his homework.
He will avoid harmful substances.
He will have fun and make lifelong friends.
He will ski safely this winter.
He will make good decisions.
We will have a warm and loving reunion at Christmas.
