Does this sound familiar…. “The other night I was trying to prepare dinner from a place of love but despite my efforts I was only feeling frustration, tiredness, resentment and even anger…. you see as I tried to create our STIR RAW my 12 year old sat downstairs playing a computer game, while my husband was downstairs doing the bookwork necessary at the end of his busy work day, grandad was in his retreat performing whatever task he was focused on – and here I was upstairs after a busy day feeling tired and struggling to be the family nurturer, to prepare a healthy and nutritious meal (on a dirty sticky floor – yuck!) with my usually cheery toddler doing everything in her power to get my attention from spilling water on the floor, pulling all the toilet paper off the role, scribbling with a pen on the couch, pulling off her nappy and weeing on the floor, dropping her food onto the floor and constantly crying “read me a book mummy”. In this moment I had a spark of insight and acknowledged that something had to change in my life and fast!
SO…I have had to get off the fence and yet again give up my SUPERWOMAN behaviours (they just keep on creeping up on me)!
Today I feel invigorated, full of hope for a more balanced and creative life of passion and personal growth. Full of confidence that I will be the best mother I can for my baby daughter and our other 5 children, the best wife I can be for my husband! I have committed to this, made some big realisations and taken several vital steps to bring my life back into balance.
I have some intimate truths, REAL WORLD learning and wisdoms to share with you as a result! Enjoy
Today is Sheannah’s childcare day. She enjoys them immensely and always has. I just wanted to share with you a few tips – as to how I ensure that she is energetically protected in my absense.
