    Looking To The Future With A Renewed Sense Of Self

    08/05 / No Comments

    When you change how you look at things, the things you look at change. Heaven and hell are not a place, but a state of mind.   When you hear quotes like this, it’s easy to agree with them and then to move on with your day as if nothing ever happened. Now, that’s not to say you should be floored by a nice quote you see on a gradient background when posted to someone’s Instagram, but it can sometimes show us that there is a precedent for looking at things anew, and when we’re ready for the next chapter in our lives, it’s considerations like this that can help…

    Sometimes It’s Most Important To Prioritize Your Own Wellbeing   We put the needs of others ahead of our own way too often. We know you’re sitting there saying that your children should come first, and you’re right. Most of the time, your children should always come first, but there are times when you need to put yourself first. You are a mother, but you are also a person, which means you need time to yourself and sometimes time away from your kids. This isn’t something to feel bad about; you just need to rest up so you can give your best again. In this article, we’ll talk about some…

    Our Children Are Our Garden

    09/27 / 1 Comment

    Our children are our garden. They absorb our stress, just as they absorb our peace. They absorb our negativity just as they absorb our joy. And we have the power to control what they absorb, but first, we must tend to ourselves – Rachel Macy Stafford August 2020: This hits home so hard for me right now. I can imagine I am not in this boat alone either. I am not doing a great job of tending to me… I feel like I have been under water since March of last year and slowly drowning. I thought going back to work and having Coop at school would normalize things again,…

    Depression, Not A Dirty Little Secret

    01/30 / No Comments

    The other night during the Grammy’s, Demi Lovato was up to sing and had to restart the song because emotions took over. The song that she was performing, Anyone, was written 4 days prior to her overdose in 2018. A comment was made, “I don’t understand why they have to keep talking about it. Can’t we just let it go already?”, and this struck a nerve. My comment back was, “Depression is not discriminatory. It can take hold of the rich, poor, famous, black, white, young and old. It can be expressed in many forms and we definitely need to keep talking about it”. The lyrics in Demi’s song were…

I have heard of women who were back into their pre-baby clothes as they were leaving the hospital! Umm no I was in maternity clothes still and let me tell ya how that was not cool. Que the poor me music here! I have always had “body issues” you could say. Being heavy runs in my family and I completely freaked out when the scale hit 173 while pregnant!
