Let’s Get This Started
Find Your Flourish: Mastering Midlife
This is a true view into the daily routine of a 40-something year old woman.
I want to use this Blogtober to provide insight and a view into how I get through life on a daily basis. Isn’t that what life is? Putting together all the mundane and the routine to get to a goal somehow despite all the distractions and setbacks occur.
Then, as a mother, this has to be done with a husband and children present. It was hard when you are young and people can be kept at a distance. You had interactions but then you could go ‘home’ to your own space. Now, there are people in that home and they also have needs as well. I have used a variety of things to assist me in this daily living, but many times, it is trial and error. Achieving that balance can be wonderful and rewarding; however that balance can be fleeting sometimes.
Have you been able to reach a balance in your own life? How did you reach that balance? Keys to me reaching the current balance I have has been knowing myself and accepting who I am. I have to have time were I can be alone without anyone requesting anything from me. I now am able to identify when I need that time prior to a level of frustration.
I am a huge planner. If you ask my husband and children what I do on the weekends, it is organize schedules for the week. I have to have my planner. I have been able to identify what I need and want from a planner so I can get the benefits from it. I currently have discovered what works for me. This can not be what is trendy at the time. It has to be what I need.
Blogtober is when bloggers publish a post a day throughout the month of October. I participated for the first time in 2021. I did not post every day but had a goal of posting at least 5 days per week. Interested in what I posted last year? Check it out here.
This year in 2022 I plan to really be candid and get into my life. The everyday. I plan to post 31 days this year. I hope you check out all of the posts that I can get published during this time. There may be a theme. There may not. But I guarantee it will be all me. I have focused this blog on ways to flourish in all areas of your life. At home. In your profession. Everywhere. It is possible. Please check out past posts to see what this blog is all about. Share this blog with others so they can read along throughout this month as well. It will be a very fun and exciting month.
I am passionate about optimal work life balance and I can help you excel in both areas without compromising in either area because I have found systems of planning, organization, and personal development that help achieve goals. I created this blog to discuss topics on our journey. Come on this journey with me and Find Your Flourish! |Shanna|

I’m a 40-something year old woman and often think I have found a good balance in my life and then something will come along to disrupt it.
Good luck with Blogtober. x
Kim- Thank you for your well wishes. We all are striving to find that balance. |Shanna|
I am a planner and use an old fashioned Filofax as I need to know what appointments etc are coming up
Samantha- Thank you for reading this post. It is always fun to meet a fellow planner. I am right there with you with needing to know about appointments. I also have a Wonderland222 A5 planner that I have all appointments and other tasks listed as well. It has monthlies and weeklies in it with blank paper as well as trackers. |Shanna|
