Be all that you can be

Change number four... Accountability is what it boils down to for me, learning how to step up to the plate and be the best person I can be in all areas of my life is huge! I have made mistakes, and will continue to make mistakes, these are the facts! Never before did I feel such a responsibility to do what is right or to take responsibility for the results. Little eyes are forever upon me. My life turned a corner when I had Josh, a corner that needed to be turned frankly, and that choice came from a place that was all about giving him a good role model and the best life I could offer him. I make my life choices knowing that they will impact me and also my children. I have said before that Joshua, Aidan and Colin are all proof to me of God's existence, well, it is as though, He even works through them, keeping me steady and giving me strength.
I remember returning to College after having Josh and this was a very challenging time in our lives. I knew the work would be for the better good, and not just for me. This was an accomplishment I was determined to reach for him. He deserved this and would understand one day!! Things like this pay off down the road. My children will always know the importance of working hard in their lives and setting goals for themselves. I continue to make choices big and little for my FAMILY, there is an "I" in family but it is surrounded, being held by others.
