I have been a single mother now for nearly four years. In that four years I have worked as a waitress, cook, bartender, earned my associates, met incredibly famous people, traveled endlessly, moved to a city where my costs doubled, and raised an incredibly young man.

Throughout that four years I have worried every step of the way. I worried I would fail. I worried the money would not come in. I worried that I would let him down. I worried that I couldn’t handle the course load. I worried it would all fall apart.

I find myself worrying so often that I miss out on a good portion of my life. I am a single mother. There is no other option. I either make it or we don’t.

It’s scary.

I get scared.

I know that many things are out of my power. Yet, I try to control them.

I know that sometimes things just happen. Yet, I try to stop them.

My new mantra: I can only control myself, in this moment, right here.

I am sitting on an airplane right now soaking up the Wi-Fi. I have to admit I feel as though I am in an episode of the Jetsons. Since WHEN did airplanes have Wi-Fi? No complaining here.

So where have I been? 

Let me give you the short version. I will fill you in on the details next week…or next month. Whichever.

I am in the process of moving. Closer to school. Further from the home-town I have grown to love.

I started school August 25th. I can not tell you how much more relaxed I am when I get out of the house and can wander around campus. (seriously, school relaxes me)

I got an amazing working with Barbara Jones at the One2One network. I have admired Barbara since I first began blogging. It still blows my mind that I have the opportunity to work with her.

I have gotten an incredible opportunity interning with the amazing Stephanie Smirnoff at Devries Public Relations.

As you know I am Alli’s assistant and I have gotten to work on some really great projects with her this past month.

on the side….I am planning SITScation, helping with Blissdom (you won’t want to miss it this year), oh and you know raising a three year old, juggling housework, and don’t forget…eating Bon Bon’s.

My life is crazy right now but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I am blessed to have all of these amazing opportunities in front of me.

Where am I flying you ask?

Tis a secret. You will find out later today.
