We often dream of where we see ourselves in some time from now......

I was walking at the mall last week when I passed the Banana Republic store and in the window front was an outfit. Lilac and gray business suit. It had my name on it. When I looked at that suit I saw myself, Colleen Graphic Designer (CGD) Wearing art....creating art....

I used to love reading my Parents magazines which makes sense being a new mom and not knowing what the heck I was doing in this new world of mom hood. ButI've come to a place where I have traded my Parenting magazines in for Glamour and Lucky. Its funny, I tried to read one of my sisters Parents magazines the other day and I found it was all based on fear...What to do if my child is sick, what to do if he is bullied, what recalls have happened on cribs and strollers. And I realized all we need to raise a child is already within our knowledge. And so i'm ready now to read the latest fashion, to focus on myself, my wants and my dreams. I was ok giving up that side of me for awhile to raise my child but there comes a point when you need to lean back on who you are and what makes you tick.
