Look What I've Found

I found ME!!!

For so long I thought I needed to prove myself to those around me..why do we do this?!?
We feel the need to prove where we've been in life or correct misconceptions (lies that people believe about us).  I've known who I am all along and what I've come to realize is that I love me!! I believe in me!! No more getting knocked down by what others want to say or think about me..nope no more!!

I've lived my whole life following the rules and sticking close to my spiritual, moral and core beliefs. The unfortunate truth though is that no matter how solid of a person you are, there will always be those who tell you you're someone else and there's nothing you can do about people like this.

I've never felt more comfortable in my own skin as I do now and that's because "I Found Me", I stopped trying to prove myself.  If you love me, you love me and if you don't....BYE!!
I say this with a pure heart not a sassy, indigent attitude!! I mean this to encourage not to possess a flare of careless oversight of others.  I just wish I knew it was ok to choose me and love me more...and at 35 I'm just figuring that out!!

Moms Supporting Moms

I want to challenge moms to get onboard!! Too often I hear women critiquing fellow moms choices in how they want to raise their children.  The lack of grace and compassion for each other and our journey is heart breaking. For example: I follow Kourtney Kardashian on Instagram(don't laugh), I love seeing her style and her day to day with her children. I think she's a great mom! Yesterdays Instagram was of two of her babies sleeping, tangled together all cozy and sweet. As I scrolled down I began reading a few comment left by individuals, whether moms, single women(without kids), men, teenagers, maybe even grandparents. While majority of the comments were about how precious these children were, I couldn't help but notice the mass of ugly,  mean spirited and rude words left under such an innocent picture.  Some were shaming her for allowing her children to sleep in her bed, others found it sickening that the youngest(who is 1) had a pacifier in her mouth.  And many h...

When Being a Good Parent is Viewed as a Bad Thing

After much thought and prayer today, I've come to this question...when did being a good parent become such a bad thing?!?  I say good, but what I mean is leading by our actions, validating our children's feelings, removing them from bad/harmful situations, trying to filter as much vulgar language as possible from the influences outside our home, showing them constant/unwavering love, teaching them manners (to be gentlemen) and most importantly centering our home around Christ.  The reality is that this season of being able to give our children a strong foundation, a solid moral compass and the understanding of how deeply they are loved, is such a short time frame.  I can't be my children's filter forever,  as of now my children are 4 & 1, so my husband and I are every bit in the drivers seat to determine what is acceptable for our children and for our family. When they are 10 & 7 I'm sure we'll be playing with a whole new set of rules.   We have t...

Lines in the Sand

 This would be so beneficial if it could be an actual conversation, that's just wishful thinking though! You can't make someone hear your heart when they aren't capable of even seeing you for you.   When you reach out on text but your tone, intent and words are manipulated/twisted to fit someone else's narrative, then you know it's pointless.  When you very clearly state why you did something OR didn't do something and even that is turned into you being sly or rude about the way you deliver a feeling, there's no getting through.  You care about this person, clearly, or it wouldn't hurt so much.   But consider this...you're so worried about someone who isn't worried about you.   When someone shows you who they are, pay attention...If they will talk bad about others to you, you better believe they will talk bad about you to others.  It's a hard lesson to learn, and generally takes getting caught in the crosshairs to really figure it out.  It...
