My 4 Words for Motherhood are Relentless, Chaos, Perseverance, & Confusion. But motherhood would never ask you to not be you. It asks you to be a better you. To be brave, to impress, and to trust yourself. To make a plan you’d be proud to accomplish and then stay the course and see what happens. Even in Summer! You are the best mother when you rise up be a hero for both them and you. Being human, falling down and getting back up is a very noble process and one we owe ourselves and our children a chance to see us grab and run with.
By the time we left for our vacation a week ago, I was all done. I had been couped up in the house without a car for an entire week. And the extreme heat outside had made me feel like I was inside the lockdown again. Not cool. I no longer wanted to cook or…
These past couple of pandemic years have made me irreversibly aware of how much of what I, and many many women, do which goes unnoticed. We and much of our efforts are taken for granted. If the people we look to for validation don’t value us, we don’t consider who we are and what we…
I have continued to remain somewhat unplugged as Summer has set in and taken hold of my family life. A continuation from my last post in which I spoke of letting things sit and seeing what they mean and where to go from here. My intuition told me that in order to understand, I needed…
Last week on Instagram, I announced the conclusion and wrap up of my jump start to self-betterment, my #28DaysComeWhatMay project. Now it’s time to tell this story on the blog in detail. While my project has officially ended, I am still going strong with my resolve for regular exercise and whole food eating. l started…
I am at the halfway point of my project and I am feeling tired and achey but otherwise well and positive about the outcome so far. If you are a regular reader of my blog, you may know what ( the heck ) my 28 days Come What May Project is. If not, it is…
What I haven’t explained is that at the same time I started this project, I was switching up on my anti-anxiety medicine. I was excited in fact to begin Wellbutrin instead of the Lexipro which I was certain had been the very reason I’d gained the weight and couldn’t get rid of it. Read the…
Part One of my backstory of my #28DaysComeWhatMay Project in which I tell you about how I discovered my anti-depressant was doing me wrong.
This project was a long time coming. Having spent two years in the largest body I’ve ever been in and trying very hard to practice radical self-acceptance while secretly and simultaneously loathing my body and wanting to fix it, I quit Noom and the gym. I decided that there was changes that needed to be…
I am not supposed to be fixing me. That was so last year and the life before’s story. IBut I kept telling myself, “if I fix my weight and my brain and my house all up… then everything will be Okay.” Not Okay. All efforts to fix me didn’t work out that well. And I…
Today is my son’s 17th birthday. I am wondering what it is that I have given him. I lightheartedly told the kids yesterday that I was attempting to raise self-reliant emotionally mature people. But this is some serious work. Parenting is like the Kobiyashi Maru, the rigged test in Star Trek’s Star Fleet Academy for…
