But why can’t I have it all?

If you've met me, you're probably aware I can be a bit of dreamer and can get carried away with a few ideas...so this year when I woke up and announced I'm starting a business, and a podcast, and a non profit, and I want to write a book, oh and I still have a full time job that depends on me to perform and also friends and dating...well it's no surprise a few of you raised an eyebrow or two at my (ahem) ambitions. Like a kite flying too close to power lines, occasionally I need a friend or two to gentle reel me back in to avoid getting stuck, or worse come crashing down to earth. Great news, I have incredibly smart and talented people in my life to do just that. It's not that I'm unaware that you can only focus on 3 things really well. But I'm an overachiever and I love creating things and (insert tantrum arms and feet) why can't I have it all right now dammit! 

Haha, oh Eades. You will have it all! Just not all in one day. Or year. 
(Insert smoke coming out of nostrils emoji here). Ugh, fine. You're right. But just because you're right doesn't mean I have to like it. There will be resistance. Have you ever tried to reel in a wayward kite? Honestly, I haven't, but you can imagine the difficulty when it gets swept up in a strong wind. I'm going to need a few hours to let it sink in before I'm ready to acquiesce. I'm a quick study. Upon further reflection, I clearly don't need to write a book. This year. It's not like anyone is reading my blog, so I suppose writing a book seems a bit frivolous at the moment. But what about the other 7 things on my list? Not to mention I forgot to include working out on the list. Freudian slip. But that has to be a priority, I'm getting old over here. If there's hope for a geriatric pregnancy in my future one day, I would like to be in shape before this child marches out of my vagina, destroying everything in its path. But I digress. Back to this list of priorities. 

Focus Eades. What are your top 3 priorities this year? We all want to know. 
I'm sensing sarcasm, but I'll go on. 1) OWL Professional Coaching 2) Relationships 3) Work 4) Morning Ritual
I know what you're thinking, I just said you can only do three things really well. But I don't see the world quite as black and white as some of you. Everything is interconnected. Energies shift from week to week, but they are all priorities. Plus, the morning ritual makes me better at my top three priorities. It also involves me getting up 2 hours earlier than I usually do...so I hate it already. But it's also arguably the key to my success this year, so I guess OWL do it. And I already know what you're probably thinking, if the morning ritual is so important, why not make it your top 3? Because I'm OWL-woman, it's all in meeee (insert Whitney Houston here) and I can do more than the average human and so therefore I get 4 things. So nana nana boo boo (insert the rest of the childish phrase here). Also, I'm stubborn and relentless. So there you have it. My top 3 priorities for 2020. 

Eades this all sounds great. Tell me more about these relationships that you're prioritizing.
Ahh yes, the relationships. I momentarily forgot you're here for the dating woes, not to hear about my next adventures. Well, OWL professional coaching is all about building relationships. And so is Eades. So I'm going to make a it a priority in 2020 to build relationships with friends, clients, and potential suitors. Which means I'm giving up some of my favorite weekend activities like napping, reading, and avoiding humans all day, so that I have more time to spend with all of you. You're welcome in advance. And I'm sorry in advance for the month of January when all of our conversations were about me and my OWL-standing new business. I refuse to be sorry for the OWL-some puns. 

We love supporting you Eades, now tell us more about these potential suitors....
Ahh yes, the dating. Perhaps I took a few liberties with the words suitors. There isn't exactly a line out the door or an application process. Although I am taking referrals at the moment...but no one is exactly beating down my door to date me if that's what your asking. I suppose if a man was beating on my actual door to date me I would be concerned and a call the police....probably. Yes, I would do that. I think. How old is this man in this fictitious scenario? Is he single? How tall is he? I have questions. All jokes aside, I've got some bad news for ya; Tuna Tells All blog is no longer telling tales of dating woes. 

Umm....hold up. We are vehemently opposed to this idea Eades. We would like to go on record and say, I object. 
Understood. And overruled. Did you not just see my priority list above? Where did it mention Tuna Tells All? Sigh...I know, I know. It's sad. Sorry friends. The times, they are a changin.' Silver lining, I'm still hilarious and my life provides more than enough material without throwing additional characters in the mix. Eh, let me clarify. There will be characters...this is Eades we're talking about. But they'll be ancillary at best. My morning ritual includes writing, so you'll still hear from me. Time to take Tuna mainstream and put her on a podcast. I always did have a face for radio. Stay tuned guys. It's going to be a great year!
