\"\" This blog is all about morality, ambition and sacrifice. I should go into details…but I won’t–it wouldn’t be moral of me now would it? All I can say is to be moral one must take the cut, all in the name of the good for all. And I’m no different than any other human. I want what I want and how. So, do I say one only lives once? Go for it girl? Or do I take the first cut and suffer the pain by saying NO! to myself. Morality cuts deep into the self–it hurts. But having made the moral choice a few times, I can say it was worth it to hurt so others won’t. <\/div>\n
Yes, It’s always about personal sacrifice. And I am facing the sacrifice of ambitions. To pursue one of my goals I must temporarily sacrifice others. That hurts too. I want it all, and I want it now! To get my MA and PhD I have to put fiction and painting temporarily on the shelf. I don’t want to, but I won’t succeed at my degrees if I don’t. If I were merely a student maybe I could do even 2 pursuits at once. But, I am a mother of three and that happily takes up 24 hours of my day. So, I can only handle doing one other career pursuit at a time. I say sacrifice to achieve one goal at a time, systematically. Let’s hope it works. Gotta go buy the girls new ballet slippers.<\/p>\n
PS the pics are of my back yard–behind my house is forest and just a 2 minute walk through the forest ends up here…at this place I brag about so often.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
