My name is Lydia Straka. I am a MOM. I assist in supporting my family and I work full time + in the professional world as a Manager. My days begin by 5am, and are Go, Go, Go for more than 8 hours away from home, usually getting home about 7pm. Then who wants to prepare dinner? Typically, we will go out to eat, or fast food. Hopefully get an evening workout in, stay up way too late (because I don't want my day to only be about the office). When my head hits the pillow, the night is gone, and I get up to do it all again, and again, and again. Sound familiar?

I have also coached competitive softball for high school players preparing to move on to college. I look back now and wonder how we even managed that type of schedule then. Conditioning, batting lessons, pitching lessons, team practices, scrimmages, tournaments. But such a rush of emotion and competitiveness.

As I look back now, I want more. I want to secure the future. I want to wake up without an alarm. I want to work out and not feel like it is a chore. I want to take trips. I want more ME time. I want to relax. I want to find ME.

I begin this journey excited about what is to come.....what is around the corner? I can do this....won't you join me?
