Jan Keller Life as...

We all look forward to retirement.  But is it because you are tired, can't work, sick, or numerous other maladies?  I want to retire because I have so much to do and live for.  My mom didn't make it to 55.  I'm 60 now and don't plan on slowing down!  Think about where you want to be in a few years or 10 or 30!

once again going around in the back yard, walking with Pepper.  keep listening

Yes, we actually all in the long run have accountability. Even if we don't know it.  Like paying your bills on time!  Yikes. But I am talking about with each other.  And our health 

We want to live a long time which sounds about right. But how?  My friend Kim has a grandmother whois 102!  How cool is that! Does health have anything to do with it.  Listen and find out!

Sometimes we don't know what we don't know.  Ive heard this so many times on the Dr. Phil show.  Makes sense.  It's like an "aha" moment when we get told "hey you got toilet paper on your shoe". Ew!!  You didn't know that and so good (hopefully in due time) that someone told you this.  Life changing. aka no embarrassment.  So in todays episode I talk about how your surroundings determine ALOT in your life.  

Last week I talked about taking up space in the world or in your little part of it anyways.  What we say, and do can be a butterfly affect.  This week I fell in love with the word "intuition".  I'm a book snob and read a lot.  Sometimes what I decide to read has some words that I never knew would resonate with me.  I have also become very curious instead of "closed minded" which I didn't even know I was until I took that first step.  That first step was me.   Intuition is that "knowing" that part of you really loves you and is there for you.  But we let it go out the window because there is so much more out there that is fun like juicy fat hamburgers that ooze with secret sauce.  But then it's over.   We feel miserable afterwards.  What if we just followed what we thought was right?

I wasn't planned. In other words, my mom got pregnant in 1960 unwed.   I was born in 1961.  My dad married my mom per her request so she would at least have a name for me.  So long story short.  I grew up without a father figure.  She never remarried.  So I never saw myself taking up space.  I never had the the upbringing that I was enough. Just didn't have that remembrance of life. My mom died at age 54 and I was 31.  I wish I could have asked her more questions.  But for now I know Im meant to be here.  And you are too. 

What is your purpose on this earth?  Have you found it yet?  Hey it's ok. I had a post on my Facebook page that had over 30 shares.  for me that was a lot. It was all about "there is no timeline.  You can be an author at age 70, you can write your first book at age 40. You don't have to be successful at age 21.  Failure is just another word for  "that didn't work".   This is my first episode.
