RE-invention of myself and my vocation!

What is vocation? The Merriam-Webster dictionary states:

"Definition of vocation

  1. a summons or strong inclination to a particular state or course of action; especially 
  2. a divine call to the religious life : an entry into the priesthood or a religious order
  3. the work in which a person is employed : occupation : the persons engaged in a particular occupation
  4. the special function of an individual or group"

My vocation has changed, my special function has been recreated. I am now on a new path.

I have spent several years now recreating myself, reinventing who I am and how I define myself. I am, and always will be, a work in progress. The turning point for me was becoming a guardian grandparent of my amazing and sweetest little one! forever our lives were changed, turned upside down and I have been trying to stay above water since.

Becoming the guardian of my grandchild is a challenging adventure, one in which I must succeed at while not knowing the goal. I had to overcome many obstacles, such as guilt because maybe I did it wrong the first time, learning how to juggle raising a young child again, and maybe the hardest giving up the roll of grandmother and all the fun that comes with that.

I do think I have found a balance, and in the interim I have learned a lot of new information and skills that I want to share with the world, parenting skills, grandparenting soul searches, and Community Resiliency Model skills. I have launched a new business and started a mission of bringing health and whole food to the children and families of the world.

My hope is that you will follow along, maybe some will join my mission and together we can make a better, loving community for our children and our future.
