Million Dollar Housewife

I have tried for a long time now to define why I love the sound of  these words: Million Dollar Housewife :-)

I am not sure that I have all the words within me to describe what it is that I aspire to, when I say these words. All I know so far is that it gives me hope to have such a dream and a vision, it makes the little child within me smile and giggle.

People may think that being a housewife is not something that you should pursue or aspire to be but there is a part deep within me that believes that many people might secretly have such wishes !-)

I guess I have always wanted the luxury of owning a beautiful house and also the luxury of time to be able to enjoy and properly care for all the simple little things that make up our life.

Interestingly enough, I have worn the housewife jacket for a while now, living that lifestyle. My husband has provided me with this opportunity for the last several years where I did not need to work. By no means were we rich but I felt rich because I had the luxury of no needing to work.

It was a wonderful time that I have cherished for many reasons and where I have learned many things that I would like to share little by little with you in my blog.

It has also been a time of painful realization, realizing that I felt powerless from within. I felt that the wealth I was experiencing depended on the circumstances outside of me, that if my husband passed away or was unable to make money, my world would be shattered.

This feeling left me feeling very uneasy.

And I could see that there was a dynamic that was not healthy for me or my husband even though it brought us both a sense of comfort.

My husband and I both aspire to thrive in our relationship and within ourselves. And in order to achieve such level of wealth, we can not be co-dependant on each other. We must each find within ourselves that missing link where we complete one another so well. This will even bring more roots to our relationship, deepening it as we each grow.

Even though a part of me naturally was inclined to gravitate towards that lifestyle, I hungered for something more.

With time I have come to define what that something more is. Ironically this pulls me out of my nest away from my comfort zone.

I want to dare to pursue my dreams. I want to find within me the ability to achieve goals that I set for myself. I want to build a life on a solid foundation. I want to feel empowered from within. I want to be independent.

I guess I could say that the Million Dollar Housewife means to me that I have the ability within myself to create such a lifestyle for myself and my husband.

I want to be the seed and the water that allows such a tree to grow.

Several years ago, I had a major burnout where I thought I would not be able to survive. This was a big wake up call for me asking me to reassess the way that I live.

I was running a business but I was not rooted within. I had no boundaries. I had no solid structure. I had no business plan or long term goal nor was I valuing myself or my time.

So this is a time for me of reintegrating the world with a new found awareness of what is really important to me.

In order to grow into the new me that I aspire to be, I will surround myself with the tools that will help me be more practical and realistic.

I also think this blog will provide me with a sense of structure by containing my interests and my goals.

I see it as a tool and a friend that will help me learn and apply all the valuable skills required to be truly independent and wealthy.

I want to practice giving and sharing.

I want to learn about structure and stretch my muscles of accountability.

I hope that you as a visitor will find something that sheds some light in your life, find some inspiration or feel inspired to share something about yourself.
