As I embrace my life as a mom I am embarking on a new adventure. One that I hope will become a long-term journey that will be both fulfilling and rewarding. In the recent weeks I have done some self-reflecting and I am feeling more comfortable in my skin. I am passionate about my family, my current life situation and hold so much love for the man who has been so generous to me – my husband. I was fortunate enough to not return to work after my son was born. I love being a mom and am adjusting to being a housewife (notice how I delicately stated that) but I don’t want to lose myself, my individuality, so I am beginning this voyage, that I am so very passionate about, for me.
While I have toyed around with the idea of starting a website for well over a year, about two months ago I jotted down a plan. I consulted my husband, the savvy businessman, and he had some valuable feedback and suggestions for me. Although I knew he was right – something I don’t often admit - I once again felt a bit defeated and lost motivation to move forward. More recently, I had the opportunity to share my thoughts with a friend who provided similar feedback and perhaps because of the way in which the feedback was provided, I became inspired to move forward. I felt an overwhelming sense of ambition and began writing that day.
I have so much confidence that now is my time. As I begin this new adventure of starting my website I foresee many obstacles ahead. They do not intimidate me and I welcome the challenge. I know that it will take time to push forth my vision and it will not happen overnight. I will take it one step at a time. I plan to share with you successes, frustrations and questions that you may be able to help me with. By sharing my experiences I hope to provide relief to those moms who are looking for answers, normalcy, advice and ideas or simply a few minutes to themselves to read another mom’s blog. I of course welcome non- moms too! Off we go!
