Last year was my first year as a stay at home mom who had taken an "early retirement" to stay home and bring back balance to the family.
Advice was given, don't take on too much was the most popular. Ironically what most people didn't realize was that those who told me not to take on too much ended up being the ones who would ask me to help in emergencies - there were a lot of emeregencies.
One friend who had recently become a stay at home mom told me to wait a year and see how I feel. This came after a conversation where I was not feeling like I was doing the right actions and I was letting everyone down.
Wow what a difference a year makes! I am hoping to use a blog as an online way to share some of the thoughts that I don't want to post on Facebook, but if you choose to follow this blog, I am hoping that each week I help enlighten or challange a way of thinking. Its ironic, as life has slowed down the real challange for me began as I was able to REALLY LOOK at myself, my family, my life and take inventory of where we had been, where we are, and hopefully our future.
This inventory has been scary, funny, and challanging. I hope you'll follow me on my journey to help others find Awareness and Balance!
