I’m almost there! Only 3 more days until my 31 days of honesty are over.
Sort of bittersweet. I have poured my heart on these pages. I have shared my joys and my demons.
If I had to do this all over again I would. I would also plan ahead and not pick HONESTY as my topic. I have 11 months to figure out my topic for next year. Maybe next year it will be fluffy bunnies or . . .
What this writing challenge has given me is an opportunity to figure out what I really do want to write about and the direction of my space here on the web.
A few months ago I would have said that I share my journey on my blog but now I want that thinking to shift to I write, I inspire, I encourage, I create a place for conversation . . . and I am following my passion and quite possibly discovering my purpose–which I know will change, but right now–what I’m doing feels right.
I am reworking my blog. I am figuring out the balance between writing and the rest of my life–caring for all my people is most important.
Sisterhood, kids, organizing/home management, cooking, projects that worked and not, and how my life is blessed–these are the topics that I want to share and have you join the conversation. If it is one thing that I have learned this past month is that
I am not alone–I have you along with me on this journey . . .
Of course, I’ll be giving updates once a month on my weight and how the basement is shaping up too! Until the basement is complete and I’m at a healthy weight. I want to live my life in a more intentional and simple way and I can’t do it with all the “stuff” that I have. I want to be in the moment with my husband and kids, not feeling a looming of projects, a to-do list or worse a should-have-done list.
Thanks for stopping by–I hope you enjoy the new format as it evolves.
Be Blessed.

You are right. Life is such a balancing act. Throw in motherhood and whoa! I’m still trying to figure it all out. This is my first time stopping by. I love that you are sharing your heart!
Thanks for visiting! I was referred to as a “seasoned” mother the other day and I cringed–I think of myself as right in the middle of it all.
Be Blessed.
You inspire me. Finding the committment to write for 31 days is wonderful! I wish I could find it too. There are several things I would like to not be afraid to committ to. Keep it up!
Gotta be honest–I did repost on a couple of busy days! This 31 days has been an awesome door to go through! I love the room I’m in now.
Be Blessed.
Isn’t it funny how making a commitment like this can help to focus our plans and dreams? Sounds like you are moving in a good direction :)
it was awesome! I’m planning for next year!
Be Blessed.
I’ve enjoyed reading your posts.
Even though I have a teenager, along with 4 9 and under, I don’t feel like a seasoned mother myself. I feel better at handling certain stuff, and I’m still learning like everyone else.
Thanks for linking up to Motivation Monday!
