This past weekend was overwhelming to say the least. My little man turned 1, my parents spent the weekend with us in our 1 bedroom condo, I hosted a first birthday party for our extended family..about 25 people, and I started my blog. I have received so many positive comments about my first post and decision to chronicle my journey as I push myself to thrive as a mother and grow as a person. As I read the comments on facebook and texts, I realized something scary…Holy Crap! I have to keep writing!….what have I got myself into! The idea of pushing myself to thrive was semi-easy to embrace, but the realization that I have truly decided to share my journey with others has become slightly terrifying. What if I suck at writing, what if fail, what if I do it wrong, what if my crafty projects don’t turn out cute…. So many what ifs. But I guess conquering the “what ifs” are part of pushing myself. I just have to remember to breath and that although I am writing this for all of you to read the journey is mine, and I am only accountable to me. This is my story, my adventure, my goals, my accomplishment, my failures. Owning the journey is the only way to survive it. Afterall …“Growing can be scary” “Making mistakes is sometimes messy” “Every flower has to push it’s way through the dirt before it blooms” hmmm...quotes from those cheesy inspirational posters at the teacher store may actually come in handy…
