Our refusal to accept anything less

A few weeks ago, I posted a bit of a temper tantrum.

This is my apology.

That was not my best day.

Yeah, yeah, it was honest and authentic and we all have days like that. But this is a new blog and we’re just getting to know each other and that rant isn’t really a good indication of who I am.

I’ve been wanting to slink back over here with my hat in my hand to apologize for my childish antics ever since.

I just didn’t quite know what to say…until now.

These are the things that define my dreams

Why am I here?

I love this life!

I mean, I really, really LOVE living this independent, home employed & home educating life.

I don’t just want to keep living it…

I want to infect other people with my enthusiasm for it.

We get to participate in every big & little milestone in our kids lives. We watch them learn and grow, while also doing work that we absolutely adore…with people that we absolutely adore.

We make the rules that govern our lives. No external force dictates when we can go camping, go on vacation, sleep in until 11am or stay up all night watching zombie movies.

Best of all, our kids are learning how to live a well-blended & fulfilling life by our refusal to accept anything less.

I get all tingly during ah-ha moments. Seriously, I can hardly sit still and I get a lump in my normally-kinda-stoic throat when I see light bulbs go on for people.

Between guiding our kids’ education, helping clients discover their strengths, sharing ideas with colleagues and exploring new ideas for ourselves, we get to have ah-ha moments all.the.time! Sometimes even multiple times a day.

What could be better than that!?

What am I hoping to accomplish here?

I want to infect the planet with highly contagious, independent, non-conformist mind-makeruppers who lead family-centered lives.

That is all.

How will I do that, you ask?

By breaking down the barriers that keep you from taking the leap.  That leap requires self-confidence, business savvy, knowledge and a safe, friendly support structure.  I hope, together, we can create that here at BrainyFeet.

Within a year, I want us all to be able to look back and say,”Yep. We did that.”

I had this epiphany while I was commenting on the Caffeinated Elf, Rachael Acklin’s post, How to Expand Your Offering Without Losing Your Shit.  I was reading it because…well, I read all of Rachael’s stuff (she’s that good)… and because I am both expanding my offering and losing my shit.  How does she know this about me?!  This post is an expansion of my comment there.
