It has been far too long in between this and my last post. I am a woman who wears many hats as I am sure most mothers are. I have been working to keep things what they were and hoping to simply add another small person to the mix. I find now that there is a grand transformation that happens when you have children. I struggle to fit all my activities into one day. Instead of burning out I have decided to clear out. I am unloading my extra things that weigh life down and only keeping what is important. I have begun to simplify the way we live so that there is less time spent curating and maintaining things and more time to do what I really want. If I am to have the time to reconnect wii my blog, my business and myself I must first lighten my load. I can't blame anyone but myself for it. I have decided to carry this baggage for too long and deluded myself into thinking I can balance it all.
I must come to grips with aging and all that goes with it. I hope to set a good example for my daughter and this transformation will take time. Until I have reached my goals I must remember to take each day at a time. Each day has it's own anxieties. I hear the words but find it difficult sometimes to remember and apply the counsel. Autumn is just around the corner and I am taking the opportunity to shed the old personality and start again new.
I look at my daily life and I find that working hard to maintain what others find beautiful sometimes robs me of the joy in doing it. I am inspired to live simply. Find happiness in my everyday. Beauty comes. Remain grateful. Live a purposeful life.
Well, no time like the present to make something great.
