WHY is MRS. ACCOUNTABLE your new source for inspiration, adventure, and accountability?
My name is Catherine, and I am 48 years old. For many years I have been employed in the wonderful world of business, more specifically accounting. I am currently a Certified Public Accountant and have worked in the accounting industry for almost 30 years. I am also a wife and mom of two boys. It is a busy life. Sometimes just crazy. By creating this blog, I am working to find the time to do something that I have always wanted to do, to explore creativity while helping others at the same time. To search for a balance between the right and left brain, in a way. And to be a curator of all things good and inspirational. To be your new source for inspiration, adventure and accountability!
How did I get to this point? I want more creativity in my life.
With many years in office life, I have seen and learned many things. My biggest realization is that it is not just all about business, it is about the relationships. It is about relationships in all areas of life, really. Jobs, family life, personal growth are all about relationships, what you can overcome, and more importantly, what you can achieve while balancing those relationships. I want to think about finding ways to connect with others, while having fun and trying new things.
While my professional life has revolved around business and office life, my home life revolves around the family and all that goes with it. But I also have a creative and adventurous side and would like to explore those areas as well. It is never too late to start something new, and I am taking this to heart. Also, I enjoy helping others! Throughout my life experiences and even in the worst of times, have tried to always maintain hope for a more positive future. Above all, I believe that you always have a choice in how you react to whatever life brings. We are all a work in progress. And every positive change, every new adventure, and new connection offers hope for our best lives. In other words, not just existing and getting through it.
So back to the matter in hand, why Mrs. Accountable?
First, “Mrs. Accountable” is a play on words of sorts, referring to my life as an accountant. And second, but more importantly, my goal of inspiring everyone to be “accountable” for their own happiness. We may not have choices of some of our circumstances, but we always have a choice in how to react. That reaction is us being accountable. Throw in a dose of inspiration and adventure, and we have “Mrs. Accountable”. I cannot wait to show you the things that I have planned.
My hope is that by sharing with you, it will start a movement to inspire the next person, and have that person share with another, and so on. Even in the darkest of times there is hope and sometimes we need to be reminded of that. We need to remind each other! We also need to be reminded that it is up to us to push out of our comfort zone and put yourself out there. If you are in a negative situation, what can be done to change it or if you are stuck in life, what can be done to change that? I believe that most people struggle in one area or another. Let’s talk about it and see what can be done to change it, to grow as people. Be accountable!
I have many different ideas to share, to inspire others to make positive changes. Discussing how to overcome challenges, trying new things, planning a new adventure, reaching out to others, family values and traditions, how to deal with hard situations, sharing our favorite things…..all of these are things that I want to discuss and support each other. Also, my hope is to offer support to some that might need it. To explore some different ways to work through tough situations. And to encourage people to support each other.
How will I accomplish this?
My plan is to post weekly blog posts and eventually newsletters to offer inspiration, inspire adventures, explore new ideas and encourage discussion. To be a conversation starter. Sharing my experiences and adventures, all the while keeping myself accountable and on track. And hopefully inspire some people along with me. I want to use the platform to ask the questions that might help to open new windows and doors.
I am glad that you are here and would like to welcome you on my journey. So far, my life has been quite interesting in many ways and I am looking forward to seeing what the future brings. There are lots of plans in the works for many years to come and I look forward to sharing those, as well as inspiring your journeys! All of you! My goal is to remind people that you are all capable, competent, determined, and amazing people. If you can dig a little deeper into your potential, there is no telling what it possible. I want to see what is possible! To dig up those hopes and dreams and throw them in the wishing well to see what happens.
I am ready to dive into my creative side and see what I am capable of. I am excited about it, to see what I can accomplish on my own, without anyone’s pushing or input, motivated only by myself. To see what kind of things I can make happen for myself and others. Maybe leave the world a better place than when I came into it. Which brings forth the question, what are you capable of? Is there something that you have something that you always wanted to do? What could you accomplish?
SO COME, JOIN ME ON THIS ADVENTURE OF BEING ACCOUNTABLE TO OURSELVES! LET’S GET INSPIRED!
Coming soon you will be able to sign up for a weekly dose of inspiration.
Sincerely Yours,
Mrs. Accountable
