Making Headway

I had an excellent first meeting on the phone with life coach Lisa Evans. It was very relieving to talk to someone who obviously relates to my transition into motherhood and also has a lto of perspective plus total objectivity into my life. I think this is the beginning of a very beneficial relationship. She suggested I read Buddhism for Mothers: A Calm Approach to Caring for Yourself and Your Children by Sarah Napthali, and I think I shall. There is another Buddha Mom book I need to get: Everyday Work: The Inner Work of Mindful Parenting. I am really feeling energized in my own self lately, and have been putting energy back into myself so that I feel more empowered and ready to move forward with my goals and dreams for myself. It of course coincides with spring and this move we are planning. I like a change of scenery. My assignments for this week are to meditate each day, write on Thursday night, and to think about how I am going to work music into my life. It is so helpful to be accountable to someone else, adn I think she is going to be good at motivating me. Yeah! I have sooooo needed this.
