What’s your next target? Where will it take you?

For many, a decade is a long time to chase a goal. But motherhood became my anchor. The patience I learned while teaching my child to walk, the creativity required to explain complex ideas in simple terms, and the empathy I developed from listening to their little heartbreaks—all of these became tools I carried into other areas of my life. Whether I’m talking about pursuing a degree, launching a business, or starting a nonprofit, the skills I honed as a parent became the foundation for my 2021 success. By 2021, my journey had taken unexpected turns. The goal—whatever it was—became a metaphor for perseverance. Perhaps it was completing a personal project, earning recognition in my field, or finally saying “yes” to an opportunity that once felt out of reach. Whatever the target, it wasn’t about perfection; it was about growth. Shanie Love - Pregnant -2011-12-31- Target -2021-
