New Year New You!

With the new year just around the corner are you planning on making any New years resolutions this year?

Is Motherhood Enough?

I'm working to build a new happy abundant life for myself and my family. I believe that us mothers have just as much right as others to be happy and fulfilled. For me personally, motherhood is not enough on it's own: I started to feel after a few years of not working that I needed something else. That's not to say that I don't want to be a mom and that I don't get moments of great pride and joy; but I need to feel that I am also contributing in a positive way to more people than just my family.

My Purpose

I just feel that my purpose is to support and inspire other moms to know that there is more out there for mothers than just cooking, cleaning and child care! It really is possible to be a mom and have a fulfilling and exciting life!

My Personal Growth

As part of this overall purpose making the most of myself is important, not only for my own benefit, but also to show by my own experience that it CAN be done. There are lots of aspects to personal growth:
good physical health
fitness
good mental health
knowing why you are here
getting conscious about life
getting in touch with your spiritual side
learning new skills
enhancing your social skills
setting goals for yourself
and so much more......

My New Years Resolutions

to lose the few pounds I've put on over Christmas!!
to do a 45 minute brisk walk three times a week
to develop my meditation practice
to become more giving and emotionally open to others

What are yours?
