No, I’m not talking about a Happy Meal play-date for your kids…

This one’s Just For You, Mom!!

One non-fat, just-how-you-ordered-it Coaching & Community program coming up!

Moms desiring support around how to balance all of the various aspects of our crazy-busy lives is a given.

Of course we’d all love to make changes that would help us free up more time, energy, and joy for both ourselves and our families, right?

So I asked moms how they would like that support delivered…

You answered, I listened, and here you go:  The ME Connection

Calls begin in June, so take a moment just for you right now, Click Here, and check out all of the exciting details!

(And at the investment of less than the cost of a couple of lattes a week, isn’t it worth checking out?)

Feel free to contact me with any questions, and I look forward to connecting with you soon!

Are you so focused on what it is you are looking toward in the future that you are missing what’s right here for you to enjoy right now?

Sure, it’s great to “plant seeds” today that, with time, receptivity, and perseverance, can blossom into the things you desire for yourself and your family, but try also to remain present and appreciative of the current moment you have available for you to enjoy right now.

Take a little ME-Time Now™, look around you, and savor all of the wonderful gifts that surround you, both inside and out. Allow yourself to experience the excitement and joy that feeling gratitude for who you are and what you have right now can bring! As the old saying goes, “Be sure to stop and smell the roses” during this beautiful spring season!

Motherhood is not a race nor a competition, so putting pressure on yourself to run the hardest and the fastest, day after day, is not only completely unnecessary, it is a sure-fire recipe for burn-out, overwhelm, and a lot of self-criticism.

Your To-Do list is just that – a list of things you can choose to do… or not to do… the choice is yours. But, your To-Do’s do not define you. Please allow me to repeat that, because it really is so important: Your To-Do’s do not define who you are. As moms, we can get so caught up in what we did or didn’t get done in a day, that we start to beat ourselves up with critical self-judgments and self-doubts when we don’t feel like we checked enough To-Do’s off by day’s end. When we use our To-Do list as a tool to measure how we feel we “stack-up” up against our own and others’ expectations, we are basing our self-worth on our To-Do progress. And when we do this, to quote an old song, we’re “looking for love in all the wrong places!”

On any given day, what you offer as a mom and a woman goes so way beyond any agenda item or To-Do task! When was the last time you patted yourself on the back and celebrated that you were there to comfort your child or a friend when she needed reassurance, or that your children knew they were loved when you tucked them in at night, or that your child was kind to another child at school because of the love and values that you share with him so freely all day every day?

Take the time to honor, acknowledge, congratulate, and love yourself each day – truly and deeply – for all of the incredible ways you share your Self and your unique gifts with others daily. You make a huge difference in the lives of others and the world every day, just by being a loving mom, in ways that have nothing to do with your To-Do’s. The best way to show love to our children is to show love to ourselves, so take time daily to acknowledge that “You’re doing a GREAT job, Mom!”, regardless of how many To-Do’s you happened to check off today.

Live Positively Fulfilled!
