A Perfect Life

Goldilocks — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 14:33:53 +0000

My passion is apparent if you’ve been reading my post, it’s that we create and live our perfect life, the life that is “just right” for us. It’s tailored made to suit us perfectly. Most of the post read that’s its about going after something big, something that we want to attain in the pursuit. The truth is the joy and happiness comes not from the attainment but in the doing. My goal is to travel and write, and I admit I’m not traveling and writing yet like I see it in my mind; but I’m happy now, because I’m writing. I’m doing what it is that I’m passionate about. I’m not putting it off. I’m living it now.

I also want to be clear that a perfect life can be the one your living… we all have different wants, desires, needs, and passions. I have a friend who is very happy with her life as a wife, mother, and friend. She is the glue, keeping us all in touch, and feeling the love. She takes great pride in the life she leads, and all of us who know her, are better off because of it.

It doesn’t matter what you do, it’s how you do it…so however you choose to live your life – it’s perfect!

Creating my perfect life in a perfect world…

Take Action

Goldilocks — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 17:27:53 +0000

Wouldn’t it be great if we could just push a button and have every thing that we want. Weight loss – push here! A fabulous lover – push here! A new job – push here! In some cases, pushing a button may work, if it’s an action such as, hitting the send button on an email that contains your resume for your dream job. Achieving your goals takes action.

So what action are you going take today, that will get you closer towards making your dreams come true?

The moment that we are in…

Goldilocks — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:36:00 +0000

Today I started working out. Part of my perfect life is having a healthy body. I also, embarrassingly, would like to look a little better, and get rid of some of these soft spots that have developed. I’m not really over weight for most of America. I am, however, about 20 lbs overweight, if you are in New York, Miami, or LA. My main goal is to maintain my health, and fortunately I have always been very blessed in this area of my life, but last week – my brother had a heart attack! I think I am still in shock. He is too young. I never expected to get that call. He is doing okay, and I’m putting it out there right now, that I am expecting a full recovery!

I feel like I am on the right path of working towards my perfect life, and everything that I want in it. I have moments however when I start to revert back to my old way of thinking. The phone call from my brother was a hard reminder that we are only guaranteed the moment that we are in. So we should be doing something that we love, or we should be with someone that we love, or a function serving a purpose that will help us or someone we love. Why waste any moments on anything other than joy, love, happiness, and hope. Connect only with good people and good thoughts.

Lets not waste any time – it is too precious! What is your next step toward creating your perfect life?

Valentine’s Day and/or Single’s Awareness Day

Goldilocks — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 15:18:58 +0000

Valentine’s Day is the day that makes Singles acutely aware of their single status. If you are in a fabulous romantic relationship “good for you”! I think that is what we usually equate Valentine’s Day to – romanic relationships. But, what about our friends, our children, our parents, or anyone who brings joy and love into our lives? Shouldn’t that love be celebrated! I would love to change Valentine”s Day into a day of bringing people together that you love, as a couple or as an individual. Kind of a thanksgiving of love. But for today-If you are single, gather your friends, throw a party and celebrate life. I guarantee that there will be others wishing they were at your party instead. It’s all in how you look at it…

Faith-Believing Beyond the Power of Reason to Believe

Goldilocks — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 18:44:16 +0000

Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.

–Voltaire

Today has been a hard day for me. Yesterday a friend gave me the book, The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner; One Grump’s Search for the Happiest Places in the World, and for those of you who are new to my blog, this was my dream. This is what I have been searching for, and what I wanted to do…travel to the happiest places in the world, and write about it.

I haven’t disclosed much on my blog about my personal life, and that’s because my last ten, no let’s say twenty years have been hell. I have been knock down so many times that I can’t count, so much so that I am writing a book about it. It’s too much to describe in a few short sentences. My blog has been thoughts that I myself want to remember. What I needed to hear and read when I get down, and it has worked. I am being more productive, and I am working toward the goals that I had hoped would lead me towards my dream, and I hope that it has helped others too!

I am what you would call right now a displaced worker, I have been self employed for the last 15 years, and have put all my funds into ventures that now in this economy are obsolete. I have been living off of savings, then sold assets, and am now waiting for my last asset to sell. If it sells, I won’t really see any profits, I just won’t have to declare bankruptcy. So I should be out of debt one way or another in a few months. And, as someone who has been living off of savings in the hopes that my businesses ventures would take off, I am not qualified for any type of aide. So at this point, and for the last eight months, I have had no income at all, and only a very small amount of funds left in the bank. And, these are the good years…

I am also a single mom, and I am trying to hold it together for my children. I have a son at the community college, who I am not really worried about. (I do receive 500 a month in child support-yea-food! )He is brilliant and his dream is to be a mechanic. He is well on his way, he works and pretty much supports himself. I believe he will be great at what he does, and he will love what he is doing. My youngest child, who will be graduating this spring, wants to be a doctor. She has taken all of the right steps to get into a good school; She has an unweighted 4.0 gpa and will graduate high school with five AP classes. Does Community Service, Varsity Athlete, actively involved in clubs, and she worked. She deserves to go to a good school. At this point I do not even no if I am going to have a roof over our heads, much less how I can help send her to school. She is applying though, we will just have to see how it all works out. No pressure!

My plan was/is to write my blog. Get healthier mentally and physically, hopefully grab some readers along the way, and some how earn some money. Write my Memoir. Get thorough the mess of my life, either by packing up or by losing it all. Then take my daughter to college, drop her off, and spend the rest of my life traveling, writing and blogging. I wanted to write a book on the Happiest Places in the World… I need happy! So if it just seems like a small thing, it’s just that it is in a long, long, long, line of things. It is what I have been hanging onto.

So if you are coming to my blog because your life is Shit too…and your are looking for a way to get through the tough times, then just know that I get it! But, let’s try and stay positive and have faith that somehow we will have the life that we dream. I still want to travel to all the happiest places in the world…I will just have to write about something else! I will have Faith. I hope you do too!

Just a thought!

With Love,

Goldi

The secret to life…

Since ’77 – A Love Story

Goldilocks — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:44:10 +0000

I met a man in his early 50’s, a few weeks ago, who was driving a 77 dusty blue corvette. His license tag read Since 77. Durning my conversation with him he said that people often assumed that he had owned the car since 1977, and would come up to him to talk him about it. He said the truth was that he had been with his wife since 77, not the car. The car was just a bonus.

He had been happily married since he was 19. They had children and grandchildren, and he had retired early to Asheville, NC. I questioned him a little more, always wanting to hear more of a love story, and he seemed happy with his life and his choices. In fact, he was smiling when he announced that today was his anniversary!

Wishing them 32 more, happy, years together!

Love,

Goldi
