New Perspective




It seems like forever since my last blog post. In the eyes of some I may not be considered a very good blogger. lol. If I am to be truthful, this site is meant to be uplifting and inspiring and I want to write about things that have meaning to me..not just ramble on and in the last few weeks my brain has been overloaded with thoughts..so much so I found it hard to write. Go figure!



Being a mom has to be one of the most rewarding yet toughest jobs in the world . There is always so much change to wrap your head around...within the next week..my only son will Graduate high school..and he begins a new jouney ...he turns 18 in a month and is no longer my little boy but a man..in September he begins College and his journey into a whole new world begins. Your role as a mom changes and through out each stage sometimes without even recognizing it happen you adjust..but the reality has come the final apron string is untied and my little caterpiller is going to spread his wings and be the most amazing butterfly..he doesn't even realize how amazing he is and how much I love him.



As you come to terms with this..you realize for 18 years your sole job as a mom was to love, protect, teach, inspire, encourage, this little person you brought into the world and now..he takes all of that as he ventures out into new territory..and you take all you have learned into new territory as your role sweetly changes once again.




I realized this past weekend ..ok not really realized because I already knew .. but needed a gentle reminder that sometimes all we need to do is allow ourselves to change our perspective on how we see, think and feel about things and soon we can see things in a new light. We all need that from time to time...we can't allow our own ego to keep us stuck in a mindframe that stuffles our understanding, ability to show kindness, love or compassion. If we do, how can you truly enjoy all life has to offer and the beautiful people in it who want to share it with us?



What ever changes are happening in your life..Be true to who you are...Be grateful..Be loving..Be Kind..and don't let other's unkindness and lack of understanding be a reflection of the person you are..its a reflection of who they are at this moment..we are all learning and growing xo
