Is this your time?

This week I've been exhausted; I mean, tired to the point of falling asleep in the car while hubby drove around doing errands. And no, this was not the ordinary dozing off in the car, bobbing my head back and forth.  This was a full blown REM sleep, yes, I even had a dream. LOL After an extremely busy weekend with a ten page 4th grade kid's  project due, three book signings and a book club meeting, I was done. I realized that although in my mind I believe that I can do all of these things, my body confronts me and says "I don't think so girly, we are not 20 anymore!" :/


I did however realize how much joy all of this brings to my soul.  There are many things that I'm enjoying at this time in my life. I'm specifically glad that life has thought me enough to live intentionally.  If I would've done what I'm doing now, in my twenties: book, blog, speaking ..... I would've probably lost myself.  Now, I take everything in stride.  I don't do anything I'm not comfortable with, and I don't do anything that will sacrifice time away from my family.  That revelation only comes with maturity, hard knocks and time.  


I've been told during the past few months "Millie, now is your time." I agree and disagree.  All of my life has been "my time."  I had my time of traveling the world with my husband. I had my time of doing nothing else but stay home and raise my children. Now is my time to share the amazing things that I have learned from times before. 

No time is greater than the previous except in maturity and growth.  When we stop growing and learning that's when our time stops.  We contribute nothing, we give nothing, we share nothing.   

Decide now that "it's your time" where you are now.  If that is in a toxic situation, then obviously, its your time to GET OUT! lol but if you are where you need to be, be intentional and give it your best.  

thanks for reading!
much love.... xoxo
