So today I launch this blog! With it comes all the feels. You know excitement but nervousness, bold but fearful confident but yet insecure.
Anyone else ever feel that way in life?
That’s actually why I’m doing this. I’m definitely no expert by educational schooling but I do feel as I’ve walked through many things in my 44years that could help someone else. Many seasons I’ve handled them like a champ and then there’s been those seasons where it took walking through the wilderness to get out the other side.
Our struggles, failures, hard seasons, obstacles, low and high points can be a testimony for others.
I feel like women have this weight on there shoulders these days to not show weakness. To not admit they don’t have it all together. They feel judged to say they’re exhausted, tired, struggling emotionally and physically. There’s this stigma that we have to appear to have it all together all the time. They don’t feel “safe” to open up and share insecurities with other women because of judgement and feeling weak. Trust me when I say I’m writing right now about myself also!!
I’m a single momma with 3 boys who are currently 19,12 and 3. My middle child was born with Down Syndrome and I run my own business. That’s just a few of the things I have going on daily in my life beyond normal life moments, extra life moments, insecurities, healing from past mistakes, exhaustion and the lists go on and on........
I want to use this platform to share my stories in hopes that it helps another woman. To help her see she isn’t alone. To give maybe a glimmer of hope in a time where she doesn’t see any. To maybe make someone laugh in the silliness of our crazy thoughts and actions. To show another woman going through something that she’s valuable and that she can overcome!
I want to tackle many things with this. Single parenting as a mom. Single women. Parenting a child with different abilities. Insecurities. Fear. People pleasing. Divorce. Empowerment. Inner strength. Feeling less than. Learning and believing who God says you are. Finding the right tribe. Parenting a child now adult. Walking through the wilderness and just everyday life!!! I want this to maybe open up the door for women to see it’s ok to not be ok. That it’s ok to be HUMAN!
To grab yourself a cup of coffee, sit down to read the weekly blog and feel connected!
With all of that said, I’m putting aside my own fear of judgment and here’s to the first blog being published and many more to come. Here’s to building community with many of you and connecting with laughter, experiences and some tears shed along the way.
Much Love!
