I am so excited to start this blog. It has been on my mind for awhile, but it's always a little scary opening up to good friends, let alone to the world. Well, here goes...
I have been with my husband, James, for 13 years, married for nine. We have three amazing children-Kai almost 7, Dylan 5 1/2 and Maya 3 1/2. I am blessed to be able to stay at home with them, but I would be lying if I said it was all a piece of cake. In all honesty, though, the goods almost always outway the bad.
Recently we have made some big changes in our lives and it has caused a lot of emotions to come out. I know I have allowed them to take control of me. This is not the person I thought I was nor the person I ever wanted to be.
James says that I wear my emotions on my sleeves and my mom always said I was either way up or way down and there was never any in-between. While it is true that I am a bit crazy at times, I know that when I have taken care of myself spiritually (spending time in the word and in prayer), physically (good diet and exercise) and emotionally (allowing myself time alone without responsibilities) I am more emotionally stable. This also makes me a much better wife and mother. So why is it so hard to find time for these in my life?
That is what this blog is about, sharing and learning how to be the person God intended me to be despite all the craziness and drama that comes with everyday life. I know I am not perfect, I know that I fail everyday but I am thankful that His mercies are new every morning. My hope and prayer for this blog is that it helps me learn to be that calmer, more loving-"lose the tone and facial expression" person that I want to be and also that it touches those who read it. A friend told me today to just laugh because life really is good and I am truly blessed!
