Mom, look, no hands!

Ta-da! Sometimes I feel like I’m doing a balancing act, in a circus somewhere, juggling all sorts of things in my life. I am trying to be an efficient business owner, a miss-socialite photographer, a cool wife, a great cell leader in church, and a thoughtful friend all at the same time.

I don’t really think this is a position that I can last for long. Sooner or later, my legs will turn wobbly, my balance will give way and I’ll fall.

I remember someone saying to me when I was in my early 20s - you can do everything you want to in life, explore! Try as many things as you want, because now’s the time to do it. But now that I’ve hit 30, I think it’s time to focus. I am reminded of a question that was posed to me in a youth camp once:

What is the legacy you’d like to leave behind in your life?

Do I want to be remembered as the juggler? The one-leg-kick kind of person, or someone who was really special at doing just that one thing?

My life is still being defined as I speak.
