In case you don't know, I'm a Chicagoland gal. And, for as much as I love the farms and my soul is bonded to the land, I also completely adore the offerings of a city as great as Chicago. I'm also a bit of an experience junkie, and I love exploring museums with my kids. Chicago has a ton of great museums, including the Museum of Science and Industry, which we visit so often that we have a family membership. One of the great parts of our membership is that it gives us reciprocal privileges at many other science museums around the country. So, when we found ourselves looking for something to do in Milwaukee, we decided to check out one of those museums: Discovery World. Discovery World is located right on the shore of Lake Michigan in downtown Milwaukee. It's 120,000 square feet of amazing discoveries. From the moment you step inside, you are immersed in innovation. Science and art combined to create an intriguing environment that you can't help but explore. Interactive exhibits are practically falling over each other to draw you in, to teach you their lessons, to let you experience their offerings. Seriously, everything is interactive. We were able to lay on a bed of nails... Run on human-powered hamster wheels... Play tic tac toe with a robot... Fly a plane (simulator)... Play some Les Pauls... And climb aboard a ship, suspended above the first floor! And that's just scratching the surface or what's offered! For a small additional price for a ticket, we saw a fantastic show about Nicola Tesla. I think I learned more in that hour than I have in some full weeks of my life. My kids were so excited...the electricity on stage wasn't the only energy being fueled there! The kids fabricated their own small toys and models with giant machines, and then went into the Kohl's Design It! Quick Shop and made more projects to take home there. I was amazed that all of it was included in the price of admission. My girls made chocolate molds (obviously, they are mine), and my little guy made a can coozy (yep, mine too). We also went on a virtual roller coaster in a place called The Hive, watched the kids' hair stand on end as they touched a Van De Graff generator, and "ran" the controls of a nuclear reactor. Oh, and did I mention they have a real ship outside that does cruises and tours? Or that they also have a pretty impressive aquarium? Including a walk-through tank and a touch tank? We spent a full day there, and I know we could go back several times without ever getting bored. There's so much to experience there! I love that it makes advanced concepts approachable and accessible for even the youngest in my crew. I also appreciate that, with the exception of the Tesla show, everything was included, so I didn't have to worry about costs adding up. They also have a small cafeteria, if you want to grab a bite, and a gift shop, but both are very subtle...quiet side notes to the main event: educational fun. We can hardly wait to go back again!

Last year I had a word ... one word that captured my goal or theme for my blog and ultimately for myself for that year. My Word for 2014: LEARNING. It has been quite a learning curve since I started my blog July 5th, 2013. My ability to learn some lessons more successful with some than others, but learning definitely dominated my blogging experience in 2014. Today is January 1st, 2015. This year I want to continue to learn, but on a more personal level. My word for 2015: I want to learn to look inward at mySELF and my blog and learn to love mySELF, accept mySELF, to have SELF confidence, SELF respect, SELF descovery, and positive SELF image and SELF esteem. These are not easy lessons. Learning to love and accept one's SELF with all the good the bad and ugly is a challenging thing to do. My relationship with mySELF is often a rocky one that like any relationship worth having requires putting in the time and effort to make it work. On December 28th, 2014 someone who does not follow me on twitter randomly tweeted "Can you not think out loud so much?" and shortly after that someone else who does not follow me on twitter favourited that tweet. This tweet has stayed with me over the past few days. For some reason this random thoughtless tweet really stung. I know it's ridiculous to let someone I don't know override other positive comments, or feedback. In my head I know there are some basic SELF preservation rules that come with blogging and putting yourself our there, such as ignore stupid tweets like the one above. In my head I know someone not following me or unfollowing me although a personal decision, really isn't personal and certainly not a criteria I should use to judge mySELF. In my heart this tweet is in large bold print and hard to ignore. In my heart I know this has more to do with me than the other person. In my heart I know only I can change that. I am a list maker, a user of outlines, and timelines, and agendas. I have always found breaking things down into smaller pieces and having a plan helps me to focus and make more effective use of my time. In 2015 the "plan" is to establish my SMART goals for mySELF. I want to learn to see and acknowledge my SELF worth, and set a reasonable criteria in which to measure this. I want to accept and believe areas that need improvement do not negate areas I excel at, and celebrating others successes should not make me feel bad about myself and my achievements (or lack there of). This will be the year I manage SELF doubt rather than it managing me. If there are areas in my life that I need to change or improve upon, I want to take a hard look at what I am doing to successfully make those changes, and what I am doing to sabotage successfully reaching my goals or making change. I want to maximize the first and minimize the second. I want a mechanism to remind mySELF I have a voice and a platform to use it. What I think and have to say matters. I can use my voice for good and to amplify those whose voices might not otherwise be heard. All "my thinking out loud" is how I share, inform, and link information, people and ideas. I want the SELF confidence to use this voice to reach others in a meaningful way. My education, size, age, shape, skin colour or gender does not change that right or my ability to do so. Since my blog is ultimately about me it's easy to be lured into a endless cycle of questioning my value and interpreting blog numbers and followers as a personal and negative reflection of mySELF. This often leads to comparing mySELF to others, and wondering why they have success where I do not. It is also easier to blame circumstance rather then set goals and take action to bring about change. Today I start the process of making this year all about Me, Myself and I. Setting goals to work towards being the very best Me I can be; both as a person and a blogger, in that order. With a pad of paper and a pen in hand I begin to set out both my personal and blog SMART Goals for 2015. What, When, Who, Why, Where and How. How they are linked, where they cross-over, and when they should not. In the mean time ... I ask myself the following with each post: What is the purpose and motivation for writing this post? Did this post come from a honest and positive place? Is it about something either I personally have an interest in or feel my readers would be interested in? Did I try my best to write about something in a way that entertains, links, informs, or reaches people? Did I remind mySELF: If only one person reads this post and benefits from it in some small way, that good enough? If I can answer yes to these questions then I think I'm off to a good start to 2015! Yep, just me Cathy thinking out loud about me! p.s. The answer to the tweet: NO I cannot "not think out loud so much"!
