When I get 16 I'm going to have a big sweet sixteen party. When I get 18 I'm going to college. When I get 22 I'm going to get a job and move into my own place. When I get 25 I'm going to travel the world. When I get 30 I'm going to lose weight. When I get 35 I'm going to get married. When I get 40, I'm going to start my own business. When I get 45 I'm going to do me BOO... When I get 50, I'm going to retire RICH.
Does any of the above sound like something you've said? LOL. Yes, I'm sure it is. I remember WHEN my WHEN was NOW. When I turned 16 my big party was a baby shower. When I turned 18 my going to college was getting a job and learning how to be a mother. I moved out at 21. When I turned 25 I was married for the 1st time. When I turned 28 I was preparing for my first divorce. When I turned 30 I was in the relationship that changed my entire life. When I turned 35 I was at the lowest point in my life and preparing for my 2nd divorce. When I turned 40 I was in love with the man God had prepared for me, living a whole and free life and finding my way back to being me AND I started my fitness business. When I turned 45 I was experiencing the joy of the Lord and enjoying my new life with my new family. When I turned 50, I was a senior at the University of Phoenix, and it really didn't matter when WHEN got there, I was just glad to be whole, complete and at peace. Now, I'm writing more, praying more, mentoring more, and reaching the world through this thing we call social media... and not to mention-completing my book. Now my when is, WHEN I turn 51, my book will be published, and guess what, I'm on my way to my WHEN - NOW. :)
