As a mom, how many times a week do you hear the word “balance” and wonder daily at how you will ever get there?

One thing that has become abundantly clear to me, through daily validations from myself, mom-friends, clients, and mentors, is that “having balance” all comes down to what I call The ME Connection – acting, living, and being in alignment with the core of who you truly are on the inside (your ME) and allowing yourself to express and share your true inner-self with others every day.

Balance is not a destination we arrive at. Rather, it is a daily, even moment to moment, variable measurement of our internal contentment, fulfillment, and peace.

My own journey has brought me to a place where I feel my most balanced Self that I have ever experienced – with a much deepened gratitude for and connection with my unique gifts, my values, my priorities, my family, and other people. Does this mean I’m all calm, relaxed, and zenny all day each day? Um… remember, I’m a mom of two young girls (one who’s a mini-me that is just really diving head-first into the pre-teen stage!) and a business-owner whose husband travels… A LOT. Still human, still have my moments!

But, my ME Connection has greatly uncluttered my life by allowing me to really let go of a lot of unnecessary expectations and baggage (along with all of their non-self-love-spewing travel companions), and better trust my intuition’s guidance – afterall, that’s my ME talking! I have so much more clarity about and renewed excitement over the relationships and commitments that truly matter to me.

As I continue to evolve, it only makes sense that MomEvolve continues to grow and transform with me. As such, I am considering various creative directions and opportunities for MomEvolve, while at the same time, relying on my alignment with my ME to guide me.

Rather than making these considerations in some frantic dash to get to the next point in my journey (as in an outwardly Doing-focused “make it happen, get it done, check-it-off and move on & up” approach that I’ve been known to find myself caught up in at times), I am choosing to let it flow naturally and be more happy to Be, as I enjoy the ride with enthusiastic anticipation and curiosity. However, this doesn’t mean just sitting back and waiting for everything to be delivered to me on a silver platter. It includes making conscious personal and professional changes – some that are no-brainers and others that are a little tougher to surrender to initially – that best serve my highest priorities. The increased relief, comfort, and peace that these decisions are bringing me are heartfelt reminders that I am on the right track for me and that all is perfectly as it should be right now!

To free up some time, energy, and space in my days and make room for what I want more of in my life, I am switching the ME-zine to a quarterly distribution, starting with this edition. (After all, couldn’t we moms all use a few less e-mails in our In Boxes each month? ) As my creative spirit moves me, I will continue to post on the MomEvolve Blog, and I will be sure to let you know of future new and exciting MomEvolve offerings via the ME-zine, blog, and e-mail.

Also, I am thrilled to continue partnering with a select number of evolving moms who are each ready to reconnect with their true inner-Selves, Let TheirME Shine, and achieve goals that honor both themselves and their families through MomEvolve’s individually customized one-on-one ME-Time Now™ Coaching Packages.

There are so many amazing possibilities for me, MomEvolve, and our community of mom-friends as we continue to evolve together! I can’t wait to explore all that the future holds in store, and I look forward to continuing to share in this joyous adventure with all of you!
