Mom: Another Shade of Woman

Doing some maintenance here! Working on something new and improved for you, Momma.  Revisit some of my previous podcasts for some positive love.  I will be back on July 15th with amazing stuff!! It's a date then.  Please continue to be gentle with yourselves and know that you are not alone.  Thank you!

Count your blessings if you are still in a position to celebrate your father, grandfather or the fathers in your life.  Do not let skepticism or pettiness rob you the time you have to celebrate.  Celebrate what you have while you can. 

Momma, one thing a birthday guarantees each year is expectation and anticipation.  Whether we approach our birthday with excitement, fear, or anxiety, we do expect something.  And oh my goodness, when we pass 45 it can become more an anxious trip towards each new year.  Momma, are you sliding or are you crashing into your next birthday?

Checking with yourself is often times filled with reflection and the beckoning of new steps.  Where are you, Momma? Who are you, Momma?

You are worthy! You are a gift!

If you feel like you are drowning and hopeless, please reach out! Mental checkups are just as vital as phisical checkups.  Check in with each other! Momma, let's lookout for each othet.

When our children are younger, we are deeply involved in every aspect of their lives and journeys.  However, the nature of our relationships change as our children become teenagers and emerging adults.  Our role changes as we navigate this new independence.  Some of us find ourselves at a crossroad, wondering what do to do next.  How do we revisit the woman that we are? How do we transition?

Many times we pray for a break, but when our children are away from us for extended periods, we spend the entire break pining for them.  Embrace and appreciate the gift of time.

Communication is a necessary toll for all humans.  Communication is our responsibility.  We are our children's first teachers of communication, how they see themselves and how they present themselves.  

We all carry some baggage with us, some more than others.  Check those bags, Momma.  Some bags are filled with anger, some are filled pain. Holding on to anger eats us up. Holding on to pain blisters our soul.  Let go, Momma!

There is a difference between being nosey (wanting to feed the curiosity) and actually being present to be helpful; that parachute.
