If you are reading this and know me, you understand the title of my blog--Trailblazing Paula. This is also my My Space title, and I love it. Establishing this name took over a month--and with help from Globe Trotting Gena (thank you!)--but it fits me well. I love to trail run and hope I am some kind of trailblazer. I aspire to live my life well and with purpose. I aspire to touch others in some positive way. I aspire to be a good wife, mom, daughter, sister, friend, colleague and role model. We all stumble on our path to our life's purpose, but weakness lies in not picking ourselves up rather than the stumbling. My husband, Karl, can attest that I am a VERY CLUMSY gal! I am sorry, Honor Marie, that I have passed on this gene to you tenfold.
I love to read and write. I read both fiction and nonfiction books and typically have 2-4 books going at once. Concurrently, I like to read something political (Right now it's The Third Terrorist.), something fiction (Right now Jack and Jill is my escape!), something econmic/networking (just finished The Next Millionaires--fantastic!) and something nutritional (just finished Eating for Endurance). With this variety, I always have something on-hand in which to dive. Karl bought me a Kindle in December, and I love it. With my Kindle, not only can I download something instantly (or try a Sample), but I do not have to decide which book I want to read before I walk out the door. They are ALL always with me on my Kindle!
I also love to write and am helped Karl setup several blogs in the last year. I am inspired by how much he loves blogging.
The idea for this particular blog came to me in the shower--yes, the shower! My "big" ideas seem to come to me in the shower, while running very loooonnnngggg miles or while talking with my Isagenix colleagues. These are all very inspiring venues! Then, I like to share them with Karl and try to work out details of my thoughts. This is my introductory post, and I will write my "shower post" in the next few days.
You will not find pictures of my beautiful daughter, Honor Marie, though I will include her in my musings here and there. We do not post pictures of Honor Marie anywhere public--Facebook, blogs, etc.. As her and her daddy are the lights of my life and continue to take my breath away, you will hear about them often! I am also a step-parent to three grown children--Kandice, Brook and Kristian. I love being a mom and stepmom. God sure had a twisted sense of humor when he created the PARENT concept! Parents reading this are laughing (and/or crying).
Be Uncommon,
PJK :)
