The year 2014 was such a monumental year for us as a family. I made one of those "Goal Dream List" not knowing if any of it would happen, but I went past the stars in my imagination. Then hubby and I sat down and narrowed the list down to meet both our dreams. At that time we has 2 children and I knew something had to change because God was calling us for more.
Opportunities began to open up in avenues that were not our ideal but it was exactly what we needed to build in a more intentional way. Along the way we went through ups and downs together as a family, but honestly the way we roll our kids never felt it as much because we kept certain conversations just between us.
Fast-forwarding to 2017, everything began to take off and fall apart all at the same time. We were making the most money we ever made and life took a turn. I thought us losing two children through miscarriages was the worst we would ever experience but the tear jerking moments were not over.
One of the most inspiring things my husband said to us as a family is, "Just because we are going through a temporary situation, doesn't mean we will not complete the dreams we set out to do, so let's get to work." It opened my eyes to the fact that the is no room for making excuses. There were many limiting beliefs we all had to get rid of so that our focus was on the present opportunity and not on what was happening to us. We almost split ...... BUT GOD!!!!
We are so thankful for our relationship with God, strong community and people who encourage us daily. Creating our custom lifestyle is something we will never stop doing and I encourage you to never give up on your family. Family is everything!
Some helpful resources that we used to help build our mindset below:
1. Daring Greatly by Brene Brown
2. Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill.
