Wow,
Yesterday while driving to work I found myself lost in my thoughts and reflecting on the words I had just heard on my favorite PODCAST, EntreLeadership, Seth Godin encouraged the listeners to start blog. The thought wouldn't leave me...so here I am....again. How interesting I had started 2 blogs in 2011....and here I find myself again. Maybe this time I can fill it with great things not frilly things. I dont even know if someone will read this but "Seth says" who cares just write. My life has changed dramatically since 2011, I am now a Leader, a Mom, and a Girlfriend. My baby girl, Maisy, is my world. My incredible boyfriend is Charlie. And I lead a wonderful business, where my team members inspire me everyday to be better for them. I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to blog about, but my goal is to write something small or large as often as possible. This will help me stay focused on goals in my personal, and professional life. It will help me be held accountable to myself and to you, whoever you're brave self, the reader.
Balance? How does it happen? I find myself struggling to balance my job, my baby, my relationship, myself, my spirituality and relationship with God....Everyone says..."you have to make the important things the priorities." Well "everyone" all of those above mentioned ARE my priorities. Each day I tell myself I have to workout, to make healthy food choices, limit my diet coke addiction. I have to spend more time with Maisy, to give her undivided attention. To make sure she is provided for. You see I am our only income, so I HAVE to work. With working full time ++ I still find myself every pay day "needing more money" I struggle with deciding to get a second job or spend time with my baby. I tell myself I need to find a way to serve someone(s), to better example, to Choose The Right more. The days go by and I find myself reflecting on the things I didn't accomplish, didn't follow through on, or the things I was too busy for. When these days are a struggle I remind myself that I, Allyssa Baldry, can do hard things and easy things. That I am blessed beyond measure. That I am loved by many. That the stuggles are what make the good stuff so much better.
