I hate writing bios. That’s the first thing you need to know about me. And the second thing you need to know is that I have had a personal mission statement for at least 25 years.
That mission statement is sort of like a buoy in the water that marks safe passage. When confronted with an opportunity, or a dilemma, you can hold it up to the mission statement to see if it fits your purpose.
My mission statement is three-fold and covers what is most important in my life. They were developed prayerfully and thoughtfully based on my passions in life.
- To live a life that honors God. That is #1.
- To be the type of wife and companion that my husband needs. That is #2.
- To help others reach their highest potential both personally and spiritually. That is #3.
And that brings us to ESoup – an eclectic mix of simple, optimal, useful principles for every day life.
There are keys to living a life that honors God. Some simple things really, but ones we don’t take the time to incorporate into our day. I’ll share one with you right now – how often do you think about what you are thinking about? Your thoughts are critical to your success on all levels. We will talk about bringing those thought captive. Learning how to do that took me from being a shy, reticent young woman to a leader in my field.
And I had to learn how to be in a long-term relationship and become the type of wife and companion that my husband needs. Ours is truly a love story. We have been together, as of this writing, for 45 years. We were young parents and I think the first in our circle of friends to have children. Relationships of any kind can be difficult and marriage especially requires the ability to learn to love someone “warts and all”.
Which brings us to now – helping others reach their highest potential both personally and spiritually. This is all about you and how you can take some of things that have helped me to help yourself. In sharing this journey, and these principles for life, my goal is to help you navigate the choppy waters. And along the way, experience some smooth sailing in your own life!
