October was one of those months where busyness yet again took on new meaning, but I wanted to see what I could “do” particularly with just being faithful to myself in meeting goals with my Norwex business, and trying to volunteer more at my girls’ school, and saying “yes” to things here and there both with Church ministry and also just with various relationships in general, and also attempting to work bit by bit on organizing and decluttering my home…

It was one of those months where while I attempted to start a few entries on my website, I never quite got to a point of sitting down and determining that I really wanted to work on and finish writing certain things quite yet…but perhaps just live life a bit more and let myself mull over ideas like “10 top things I learned from starting my Norwex business” and “Determining the ‘worth’ of things,” and “Perils of the Over-examined Life and Ecclesiastes 7:15-18“… And also still wondering to myself if/when am I going to write intros to the different sections/topics I want to talk about on this website, and if/when am I going to put to words things I want to share about overcoming depression, and anxiety, and the pressures of perfectionism….

Anyhow, I just wanted to touch base quickly and announce excitedly — although I’ve been a bit too busy/tired each day to fully “feel” the excitement quite yet (I’m sure it’ll hit tomorrow when I hit the road =)!) — that I am heading down to Seattle tomorrow to visit with one of my best friends from university and her fiance (she is newly engaged!) as well as to attend “Oprah’s The Life You Want Weekend” Conference Friday evening and all-day Saturday =)

Not that I have not been happy with the life that I have been blessed with, but I’m really excited for the opportunity to see Oprah live, and to be part of this new conference she has put together for this season of her life and career.

I’ve also been feeling challenged these past couple days to take just a little more seriously this opportunity to step away from life for a few days and to get to attend this event — that even if I am content with where life seems to be and to be going, that because I am pretty certain I am no where near “complete” in my growth and journey in whatever life has in store for me, that I should take time to reflect on how I could benefit from hearing Oprah and her team of speakers.

And what if I did somehow happen upon a chance to meet her, or her team, or one of the other speakers…what one question would I want to ask, or one thing would I want to say…

If anyone has any ideas, please feel free to message me!!!  Preferably before Friday  =)
