The other day Diana and I were talking about my goal of being a foster/adoptive parent someday. I have a lot of dreams, including foster parenting and also starting my own experimental school to help kids with learning differences. The school would help kids use their own interests and talents to learn about other things. For instance, lets say you have a kid who absolutely loves robots but hates reading Instead of forcing him to read elementary school reading books and write reports and stuff, at my school the kid would just do what he loved the most... work with robots! If all he ever wanted to read was books and magazines about robots, so be it. Maybe he could build a robot, learning math and science in the process. Maybe he could become penpals with a professional robot builder, learning writing skills in the process. Maybe he could help plan a field trip to a robot factory, learning social studies skills in the process. You know what I'm saying?
Anyway... Diana was pointing out to me that I'm really not doing anything to get closer to my dreams right now. I've sort of been in a rut. I'm not calling raising Little BEar and Pufferfish a rut, but, I could probably be doing more with this time as well!
I've been thinking a lot about what she said. Then I saw a website advertising this book called Blast Off!, which is all about getting closer to your dreams. The book teaches readers how to leap over the obstacles that get in the way of their goals. A lot of times, fear of the unknown is one of the biggest obstacles people need to confront! I know that is true for me!
Blast Off is written by Allison Maslan, a woman who, as a divorced, single mom, built nine successful businesses using a process she came up with on her own to get through the obstacles she faced. The book was released on January 19th, and is now available on Amazon for $24.00. It can also be found on the Borders and Barnes & Noble websites, and will soon be available offline in major book stores!
Although this is a sponsored post, I can honestly tell you that yesterday I was feeling so defeated, I was Googling "start a new life" for tips on how I could just escape. This book sounds like it may be an answer to my prayers! Instead of escaping, I can read this book for strategy and guidance on how to move forward to the life I really want.
I hope you'll check this out! I know I plan to!
