Focus

It goes without saying but it has been too long since I have posted.  As I look back at previous posts, I realize I do this often.  I write, I break, I write, I break.  I have been meaning to update for months but it has been difficult to find the time or the focus.  Recently I have been working to improve my ability to focus.  I had to ask myself, what do I want out of this life and how do I get it.  This question has lead to more time working out, a better focus on my own health, increased time spent reading and taking “self care” through a difficult job and remembering to focus on my self, my loved ones and my dreams.  It means taking the time to remember to write and not get lost in the hustle and bustle of everyday live.  As we all know it can be so easy to get lost. 

This week I was doing my now routine 5am work out and the song Real by plumb came on.  The song that sparked my blog title and my desire to remember the importance of personal authenticity surprised me on one of my work out mixes somewhere between Soulja Boy and the Black Eyed Peas.  The idea of being who we are and embracing that identity means we first must know who we are.  Focus.  I almost feel as though I have already lost that in this post but we all know that I can ramble.  I believe at this point in my life I am at a turning point, a realization that in order to achieve what I would like to and be the person that I desire I cannot be passive and hope for things to happen but rather embrace my power and strength as a woman and as a child of God and focus on how to accomplish that list of dreams that runs through my head at 5am.  Let me tell you, I was surprised how much could be accomplished so early. 

For now, let me leave you with this.  My hope is that you will believe that you can...
