The Quest

I am a goal setting junkie. The high holiday of all goal setters, resolution makers, and transformation addicts has passed and I feel as though I didn't celebrate the New Year so much as survive it. I have a 4 month old, a toddler, a dog and a husband, all of whom have their expectations. My New Year's Eve and much of this following week have been consumed with a brief health emergency and then all of the stabilization that comes in the wake of urgency.

So what is a goal setting fan to do?

I do have a new purpose statement: to contribute my best and highest self. But that has left me with an excellent question. What does that best and highest self look like? I am a wife and mother, and I love those roles but I know that I am greater than the sum of my parts. So I'm off to see the wizard, so to speak. Is possible to have an identity quest minus the crisis? (We have plenty of crisis around here already!)

I plan to find out.
