Mission Updates 2012 Begin

Six years ago my Master at that time required me to write a mission statement, something to guide me in my journey.  What you find below in pink were the words i wrote....
My Mission Statement October 2006

• To strengthen and deepen all important relationships, always striving to communicate in a fashion which allows me to maintain those relationships in a healthy and loving manner.
• To strengthen my spiritual, physical and mental well being, by seeking out new ideas and challenging myself to explore new paths, broaden my horizons, and step outside my comfort zone.
• To strengthen my focus on moving forward in my career, my education and my life in general.
• To strengthen my personal life by "building" a home which reflects O/our interests, provides a place of refuge, welcomes friends and family, and is a place of pride for U/us both.

and

• Above all seek to strengthen the lifestyle path I’ve chosen to follow, ensuring my submission and slavery to Master is only enhanced by all of the above.

All this time, despite everything that has happened over the years, i've kept these goals in mind and have continued to use them to guide me towards who i am today.  i do believe the time has come to up date them though, so this is the first step in that process.

Here is the current status on each:

• To strengthen and deepen all important relationships, always striving to communicate in a fashion which allows me to maintain those relationships in a healthy and loving manner.  Well, for this particular one, i don't know whether i've failed or succeeded.  Of course i've lost my Master, the one who up until now has been the love of my life.  So that would be a big FAIL.  i have however, made many new friends over the last few years, some lasting. i have also done my best to stregthen my work and family connections, which feels relatively successful.
• To strengthen my spiritual, physical and mental well being, by seeking out new ideas and challenging myself to explore new paths, broaden my horizons, and step outside my comfort zone.  For this particular goal, i've done i've had both success and failure.  i need to continue to improve. i believe spiritually i've made committments that didn't exist before, physically though i've struggled, depression ,since losing my Master has definitely impacted my physical appearance and endurance, this is something i will put high on my next set of priorities, along with staying healthy mentally.
• To strengthen my focus on moving forward in my career, my education and my life in general.  I've managed to achieve some success in my career and education, i am currently in a place of oppoortunity, and choices for the postion i wish at work.  i've also completed my BA in Early Childhood Education, I am on the part time instructor list at a local community college and for the most part, enjoy my current status. 
• To strengthen my personal life by "building" a home which reflects O/our interests, provides a place of refuge, welcomes friends and family, and is a place of pride for U/us both.  Of course the home i've built over the last few years hasn't been for U/us.  It has however been an accomplishment i'm very proud of.  While there is always room to improve here, i feel like i've come a long way from the house i owned years ago by myself to the house i own now.  i've made many improvements and take pride in how it looks as well as how efficiently i am able to keep it running.  My experiences with J had a very positive impact on how i've handled my home.

and

• Above all seek to strengthen the lifestyle path I’ve chosen to follow, ensuring my submission and slavery to Master is only enhanced by all of the above.  It's been a long journey over the last six years, evaluating who i am on this journey and committing myself to who i believe i should be, has challenged me and made me question many things.  i'm still on this journey of course and probably always will be.  i only hope that i find someone to share the journey with.  i think this goal will need a little tweaking, but ultimately the feeling behind it is still the same.

i have set some priorities in my life that are on a more current list, i'd hoped at some point that having a Master/Owner would help me with my current goal, but i now feel that it's another journey i will take on my own. 

Here is the newest and most priority goal i will be incorporating into my mission, as it's become of great importance to me.  i don't exactly know where i will start, but it's time...and important so here is the first step.

• In order to regain my confidence and good health, i will commit to establishing new patterns and routines that help me gain a more healthy approach to life, with the hoped for result to be a healthier physical appearance and attitude towards life.

To all my friends who love me and read this blog entry...please wish me well on my journey and hopefully with your support i will succeed in my goal!
