January is always a hard time of the year for me, I fall into a deep depression and I of course feel overwhelmed and start to procrastinate. I have to force myself to do the simple things in life such as getting up to go to work or even eating the right foods and that’s if I remember to eat.

I found this today and it’s perfect for “Inspirational Saturday”, we can take a good lesson from the king of the jungle because we make our lives what we want them to be. It’s up to you to decide the what and the how you want your life to look like and end the end strut your stuff and give off a big roar!
I live in Kenya and we have beautiful lions! You never really get used to seeing a real life lion, it’s always epic. He walks confidently looking around; like he owns the place then does this terrifying roar just in case you hadn’t noticed. I love it.
The King of the Jungle can teach us a few things about being King in our chosen fields.

He looks at a gazelle and decides – that’s lunch. He works skilfully to make up for what he doesn’t have. Some lions hunt in pairs approaching the prey from opposite sides. One lion will spook the gazelle who runs off in the opposite direction, straight into the arms (or rather mouth) of the lion waiting on the other side. Brilliant Strategy! Brains not brawn.

I’m trying to get my finances back in order after being off for so long, the car is having issues, trying to work on recipes and write (who knew writing recipes would be tough especially when you don’t normally use measurements to cook…go figure)……doing a major job search (I’m ready to find something else to do with my life, that doesn’t involve standing all day).
Our fifth anniversary is coming up not to mention his big birthday (don’t even know what I’m going to do for that…sigh!), plus on top of just this normal day to day stuff I’m trying to really get this blog off the ground and trying to keep up with “Blogging 201,” and in a couple of months get my blog transferred to a self-hosted site through another blogging class I’m involved in.

Gems For The Journey
Maybe it’s because I’m hitting fifty this year that I’ve been really asking myself what do I want in life.” Maybe it’s because there’s not a whole lot to do when you’re laid up in bed except to think about your life and try to put everything into perspective. Maybe it’s because I finally picked up the book Gems for the Journey that’s been sitting on my nightstand collecting dust for over a year that I finally addressed this issue about my life and I decided to explore this subject a little deeper and see what it really meant.
