Life, Laughter, Love...and Shiny Objects
Love yourself Mommas. Just as you love those Mommas around you. This morning, I was texting with one of my super awesomest friends on the planet. And we were discussing our kids, when I realized. In a matter of exactly 20 minutes of texting, we’d BOTH referred to ourselves as ‘bad mommas’. BOTH of us. […]
I am. Two simple words we say often, followed by an adjective. Or a noun. Or one of those other more complicated parts of our language. We’re always busy trying to fill in the blank. I am _________. Seriously. Am I alone here? I feel like I’m constantly trying to fill in the blank. Literally […]
WARNING: this post contains profanity and over eating of cookies. But this is a no shame zone – so if you’re going to feel the need to shame me for swearing or over eating, then kindly and politely move on. Many have asked how we’re doing. How I’m doing…through this tough time with Noah…well here’s […]
Two simple words. Words meant to serve as a reminder of the positive aspect of a situation. But two words that can also discount, minimize or ignore the pain that may accompany a situation or experience. At least. These are the words. Think about it, how many times have you responded to a friend or […]
I’m fine. No…really, I am. How many times do we say this to people, when really, we AREN’T fine? Many. Like oodles and oodles. TOO MANY times we say this. I’m totally guilty of this. For two reasons really. First, because if I say I’m fine, I might believe I’m fine, and then I won’t make […]
Peace. We’re all in need of it. In constant search for it. Seeking for the harmony within ourselves which allows us the freedom to be, the freedom to exist…as is. To be who we are, without fear, without torment, without shame. To be at peace, make peace, keep the peace. To have the cessation of […]
As I mentioned in the first post of the Claiming My Life series, I feel ready to own my life. To make changes. To serve myself with intent. Do you know what just happened when I wrote that, ‘To serve myself with intent‘? I shivered slightly. And…an entire conversation just happened, with myself, in my head. Self: Yuck – […]
I’m good at focusing on others. Taking care of other’s needs. But myself – not so much. It’s hard. Requires work, practice, intention. I was tired of feeling weak. Mentally and physically. I was tired of being tired. Sick of feeling depressed, down. And as a result, my muffin top turned into a popover top. […]
Let’s be honest. I’ve been feeling small lately. Really small. Weak, really weak. Sad, really sad. This thing called life and the weight of it has settled on my shoulders. Like a heavy, wet blanket, it rests there. Slowing me down and making every step taken, like trudging through mud. I’m tired. Unmotivated. I can’t […]
