Goals


I am a goal setter...it gives me direction...something to work toward...meaning...and a sense of accomplishment.
Throughout life I have learned to be flexible with my goals...modifying them as needed to accommodate what is right...life...family...etc

Personal Life Goals:

Solid Marriage...healthy well-mannered children...extended family...Love!
A home that meets our needs...pets to enjoy...friends...Spiritual Connection...
Home decorating...updating...remoldeling...backyard farming...gardening...hobbies (crochet, bead work, writing, digital scrap booking, art)

Career Goals Completed:

Become an RN...get a BSN...build a rewarding progressive career
Design, build and operate my own Nursing Business (Nostalgic Nursing Services)
Administration Director Positions...Nursing Foot Care Specialist Training Completed... Nursing Informatics Training Completed... Health Educator (Health care Facility Staff Development and Community College Teacher)...Case Management Specialist (Community-Based and Acute Care)

What Now????

For the last few years I have invested a great deal of time and research on Acute Porphyria... first in a search for a diagnosis to my health problems... then as a proactive self treatment investment...
Then I thought I would like to finish my MSN in Nursing Genetics/Genomics to provide counseling and case management for individuals diagnosed with in-born errors of metabolism...I found two or three great web-based Nursing Genetic/Genomic certification programs that would supplement any MSN program
My passion is the influence of life choices and environmental factors on genetic expression and disease management!!!
I support the development of individualized genomic medicine!
I found a terrific training program for "Healthy Home Specialist" (environmental evaluations).
The reality is that with my life, my family and my health demands... my endurance is a fraction of what it used to be...although I still have last year's research...I have let go of the plan to seek a MSN in Genetic/Genomics...I am only able to work part-time and it would just be Too Much!

    With your focus, determination and faith, I have every confidence that you will realize ALL of your goals.(if the Lord wills) With every goal that you reach, you send showers of blessings out upon others because your goals are always focused on helping others. You have always "loved the broken ones"!

Sunday 3/21/2010 - Sunny Sunday

Does Sunday mean we should be in the same church building, from 10:30am to 12 noon every week??? Hmmm... we (my husband and I)have been giving this a lot of thought. I believe it is important to build relationships, to set a good example, to demonstrate self discipline and to be committed to spirituality... but does that mean the only way to do this as a family is to commune from 10:30 to 12 at our local church each Sunday?? I decided that I am open to trying a multifaceted approach to spirituality, mix it up a bit, keep it lively. So the plan is that sometimes we will attend the traditional Sunday morning service; sometimes we will attend different churches/times; sometimes we will watch and discuss television sermons; sometimes we will watch and discuss Internet sermons; and still other times we will listen to/discuss radio presentations, religious movies, and books. We will see how it goes... For today we watched/discussed a very good YouTube skit that my mother forwarded to me (htt...

Emotional Insights From Gram & Dad

About yesterday's figurative box of leftover, mismatched puzzle pieces... I have given it all more thought... If Dad could fashion "something" out of "nothing"...so can I! Back when I was a sprite young lady of five years... I lived at grandma's farm house for a spell... When our clothes were worn she would mend them... When our clothes could no longer be repaired we put them in the "rag bag"... I think perhaps that I mis-metaphored... I am not currently struggling as a "mismatched box of emotional puzzle pieces"... Instead I am an emotional bag of rags! Let me explain... Like favorite worn clothing items... emotions and feelings can become thread-bare, with holes and tattered edges... the wear and tear of life can take its toll on a person! Here's the beauty... Grandma had these big, old, heavy, metal pinking shears with red handles... Every so often she and I would sit and turn the "rag bag" into perfectly cut, evenly size...

Mothers & Daughters: Different Pieces... Same Cloth

Some of us are cut running against the grain... others of us follow the grain. Many of us have "rough edges"... while others are smooth. Some pieces compliment each other forming a unified whole... Some pieces won't fit or work well with each other no matter how hard you try. What comforts me the most is the innate sense of "knowing"... Understanding without the need for words... Mothers & Daughters are extensions of each others "spiritual existence". 2 pieces of the same cloth!
