One of my fellow thirty-something lady friends suggests that I not get caught up in what we like to call The Baby Race. And my former partner suggested that I might try to find someone who's ready for a family NOW, as opposed to her. I let go in my own way. Usually by obsessing until I'm exhausted, obsessing some more, and then finally moving on to something that actually deserves my attention. Like having a life.
So, focusing on the good stuff, the things I want to feed and nurture and see come to fruition-- some of those things are these:
- planning travels to sobriety conferences, professional conferences, and general wellness fun
- playing my cello with others, making music, singing and composing
- investing in my own career development
- giving myself permission and accepting invitations to write, write, write as part of my spiritual path
- feelgood nutrition from wholesome, natural foods
- reconnecting to old friends in an honest and open exchange
- visualizing being so thrilled by my next vehicle purchase
- utilizing a functional, enjoyable system of time management to make progress on my projects (Thanks, Dave Allen)
- homemade love cards to loved ones
- expanding my conscious awareness, remembering how to be in reality
