Today

Sometimes I have really big emotions that I cannot even begin to explain.  Today was one of those days! I've always felt like I was a very empathetic person and when I let my guard down I have a rush of emotions that overwhelm even me.  I am at a very peaceful place in my life and I can imagine that is why I am able to take on these emotions today.  I hear the struggles and heart aches of the people around me and while I am not particularly sad I am crying big crocodile tears just feeling the stress of those closest to me.  I tried to disconnect a little to process it but it just kept coming at me today.  Through the music, through the tears, through the warm sunshine - I felt a tug a my heart for everyone who is really sad today. 

Shortest blog post to-date, because I want to get to the point and let others know that I feel your heartache, your stress, your desire to throw your hands up and say I can not take anymore today, but just know you are all very strong!  Take a deep breath, pray, hug those closest to you and throw those hands up as high as they will go and say today I am done!!!  And then tomorrow we will all get up and start fresh.  Tomorrow is a new day, let's take a moment to find peace in whatever tomorrow brings us!!  Much love!!

Another Storm

In these uncertain times, I feel like an absolute failure as a mother.  I am anxious, they are anxious, and I am clueless how to handle any of it!  These are unprecedented times for all of us.  We are used to routines and as normal as I try to keep things, they reflect my every emotion times a million.  They are receptive and know that this is not a normal routine, they feel my anxiety and their stress is a reflection of my own.  I feel like a hamster in a wheel, I'm trying to explain and talk them through it but they are closing down, much like I tend to do, and we are running circles around everything.   Today we had a huge battle over drinking water - my son, who normally eats me out of house and home is refusing to eat and hardly drinking anything.  He wants to do his homework, but gets super frustrated with every aspect of it so we set it aside today.  He is super angry with me for everything I try to do and I am angry right back be...

Being Fair is Not Easy

I so do not want to put my drama out there, but I am in a position where I am fed up.  I am a single Mom, by my own choice! Why, because I never want my daughter to grow up and think that certain behaviors are tolerable because she is a woman and I never ever want my son to grow up thinking it is ok to treat the women in his life as a less than because it's her duty as a woman. I've worked very hard in my life to get to where I am, physically, spirituality and emotionally.  Not many people who have met me will describe me as less than strong - maybe slightly closed - but strong and so very kind.  Yet I have my own weaknesses and struggles too.  Going through divorce and trying to be kind and forgiving while everyone tells you how much the other person is struggling is certainly a moment of humility for me.  Will I tell them my reasons?  Will I tell them my side of the story?  Or will I swallow my pride and let them feel bad?  Sadly, I'll probabl...

The Sounds of Spring

Every season has it's own pros & cons. Tonight, I sit and listen to the birds! Each with their own song, their own tune and their own timing.  If you take a moment to just sit still and listen, you can hear their excitement for the long awaited spring and summer that we all anticipate.  I have a favorite part of every season, but spring is the one season that always inspires me and even excites me just as much as it does the plants and animals around me.  The days become longer, the temperatures are on the uphill slide, the sun feels so much warmer and the best part.....everything turns green and becomes alive again. We shed our winter coats and hopefully our frowns turn into smiles.  While winter is my least favorite season of them all, spring makes up for it in every way.  I'm excited to play in the dirt and feel the warm sunshine on my face.  I'm excited for the thunderstorms that wash away the winter grime, making way for the fresh growth of the Ear...
