Sadly, my water challenge has come to an end… but that doesn't mean I stop drinking my daily water intake. I am thriving and stronger than ever with drinking water. I could say H2O and I are tight 🤙🏼 I appreciate everyone participating in this challenge with me. It definitely created a new healthy life choice for me and my family that we always cheer on! 😇
Some may say I'm a strange cookie but I'm not everyone's cup of tea and that's okay! 😇 As I get older I love to show my kids who I am and not just play the “mom” role. As a mom, we get all wrapped up in our kid's life and I know for myself I forgot who I truly was. In that, I had to set some healthy boundaries with myself, to never dual my light for anyone. So shine bright like a diamond all you wonderful mommas ✨
For such a long time I down-dressed my wardrobe because I thought since I'm a mom I needed to wear appropriate mom clothes 😒So I went with it and I never felt the sparkle I do now with what I wear.🙌🏼 At first, I was scared to since I was showing the authentic me off and it was nerve-racking 🫣 But the more cute outfits I assembled the more I felt curious about what I could put together next! 🫶🏼So if you are someone who is trying to fit in the standards of what society tells you what is appropriate to dress, go with what makes you feel fabulous! 😘
After it feels like AJ has been gone for a century he is FINALLY back!!! 😍 We all have been missing him terribly but the one thing I missed the most was able to do my activities. Incorporating my activities with the kids has it's challenges so I feel extra grateful when AJ is around to take over parentduty. 🙌🏼 While he has been gone his family has helped out a lot. With the kids and house chores, I'm forever thankful to have them here in his absence because I'm sure I would have felt like I was drowning in a to-do list of things for our day. As the saying goes it takes a community to raise a child and I surely believe that. We moms need our alone time to feel like a person because without having a community we get so lost in being just a mom that we forget to be ourselves. Don’t get me wrong I love being a mom but I LOVE being me and doing my activities alone. 😏 So here’s a shout-out to all the moms who have partners working away, you are doing an amazing job and now it’s time to #celebrateyou 💋
The first introduction of what Soulful Convos is about
Back in January, when I started school as a Child and Youth Service Worker, I decided to make this page where I can express and uncover my life experiences. With my program, we will be working with families to learn and gain these individuals' trust. But, if I ever want these people to be open with me, I needed to know to be honest myself.
Like everyone else in life, we all have truths that we do not want to reveal due to being ashamed, discriminated against, or just too embarrassed to share. Trust me, I was nervous once I made this page, but I told myself to be brave and embrace my true nature when I did.
In this journey, I have found many unexpected revels I was not ready to learn about myself. However, once I accepted who I am, it has helped me understand myself deeper. One of them was welcoming my depression and learning better ways to cope with it.
Life is a journey that can be scary at times but having a community that understands you and will support you in those moments will help with our confidence in who we are.
Hoping this sheds some light on my page content. Wishing I can inspire people by sharing my novel of life and then empowering them to share their stories!
