This past week was an unusual experience in my MOMMY WORLD. An experience that left me sitting back going..."WHAT???? WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE!"I am coming into another STAGE in life. Both my girls will be away at post-secondary education and my son is 22...he's had a life revolving differently around his Momma for some time.

Becoming an almost empty nester has left me dealing with a lot of emotions. With the grief of time that has passed, I wish I would have done more's, I am so glad they are grown, I wish they were little, feelings of pride and excitement for who they are and what they have and will accomplish. It is overwhelmingly emotional at times

.My babies are ready to leave the nest. I still want to hold them tight but sometimes give them a swift kick out of the nest.The reality is...they are all ready to fly.

Momma's mission has been accomplished. She raised amazing humans she hopes will follow their hearts and do WHAT MAKES THEM HAPPY.

That leads this Momma to worry about a quiet house. Times are changing but with change, there are always positive and negative.

With that quiet house, missing my girls, and the rightfully earned sadness and depression I will experience..this is a NORMAL life experience. And I will experience it and I will learn from it. I will also embrace the POSITIVE. More time for me.

My health. My goals. A clean house. Less stress on groceries and other tasks. I can put my energy into OTHER positive things to put back into this world and energy into loving my family in a NEW AMAZING WAY.IT IS TIME FOR ME!!!

That means it is time to PLANT A TREE!

This week my daughters and I got TATTOOS...WHAT? My 4 lbs 6 oz and 4 lbs 12 oz babies got INKED with their MOMMA.It was a moment in time I will never forget. But that FIRST ink came for them with anxiety for the unknown and fear of "WHAT IF I DON'T LIKE IT?"

So we planted a TREE...we started small. We followed their hearts. We started simple and meaningful.We planted a tree. We can build on the FOREST and plant more trees if we choose to.Health is the same. Plant a seed and watch it grow.

Start with small steps in your health that are DOABLE AND REALISTIC.Start with small steps in your health that are ACHIEVABLE AND ATTAINABLE.Then plant more seeds, and grow more trees.

Before you know you will have a BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY, THRIVING FOREST.

In the next few weeks as we prep for my baby birds to leave the nest this MOMMA BIRD is planting seeds. She is getting ready to be as emotionally prepared as possible. She will be sad, and lonely, but also ready to embrace the positive in this new stage she is entering.Every experience in life there is POSITIVES and NEGATIVES.

It is up to YOU what you focus on.I hope you PLANT trees with me. Let's build our forest. Let's thrive in life.
