Inspiration All Around Us

Being a Mom is the most difficult job I've ever had.  If you are like me, you are constantly juggling it all yet feel something more needs to be done.  I sincerely feel if you care about the behavior and well being of your children, you have to roll up your sleeves and put in lots of work.  It can be exhausting and often leave you feeling drained.  Sometimes, during these moments, a Mom comes into your life that inspires you.  Do you know what I mean?

Have you ever crossed paths with a Mom and were drawn to them?  It could be for a number of reasons.  Some reasons can be complex.  The calm way they handled an emotional child in a moment of chaos.  The way they balance their responsibilities of work and family.  The courageous way they handled a health crisis.  Some reasons can be a less obvious.  The way they always manage to have a home cooked meal prepared for dinner.  The way they manage to take time for themselves, their spouse or their own mental well-being.  The way they always look presentable and pulled together.

What do all of the Moms have in common?  They have consciously put effort in these situations.  These Moms take a positive approach.  They inspire us.  If we look at our family, friends, acquaintances or even strangers we've crossed paths with - we can find inspirational Moms all around us.  Moms that help us strive to be the best version of ourself for our family and children. 

My goal is to introduce you to Moms who have come into my life, whether long term friendships or acquaintances, and inspired me.  I hope you will enjoy a new segment of the blog called "Have You Met . . " coming soon and that you return next week to meet our first Mom.
