The power within!

I am now over a month over due on my photo blog. Been taking pictures just not updating. It will have to wait one more week. With moving and trying to get my house in order it has not been number one on my list. And for the first time I have not guilt associated with that. I have an amazing sense of confidence and peace that has began to stir in my heart and soul and I feel like I am a brand new woman. What changed? The Power of Mom's retreat.

If you have never heard of the power of moms please check them out here. It was founded by two of the most amazing mom's (Linda Eyre's daughter Saren and April Perry) who I have now been privileged to visit with, learn from, and be uplifted by. As well as other mom's who contribute their insigts into the wonderfulness of motherhood. It is all very poistive and there is no negative "bashing" going on. It is a safe place for mothers to come and learn how to be better mothers.

Why am I giving such a huge plug? Because I feel like I did when I first got married and the world was in front of me. I was going to do such wonderful things for my children. But then life came and stress happened and I lost some of that passion and zest. Now I feel like me again. No stress just ambition. And for the first time in a long time a really feel like I am going to be able to become the mom I have always wanted to be.

And on top of that we were given a program called Mind Organization for Mom's. Link here. This is changing my life. If anyone is interested let me know so I can tell you more about it. For the first time my inbox is empty. My ideas are all in one spot, and it is not the chaos that was my brain. I know where all of my important papers are and I know when I need to be places. I am also in the process of making a master schedule and then I will really be able to know if I have time to help someone with a project instead of instinctively saying no because I "know" I have to much on my plate. When I get new ideas I now feel excited that at some point I will be able to accomplish it because all those ideas are now easy to find and again out of my brain. I don't feel that nagging that I am forgetting something. I have been sleeping better and the knot in my shoulder that I have carried for over six years is gone. That is huge.

To sum things up I feel like a happy healthier me. The true me. It feels so good and energizing. With all that I learned and how it has changed my life I am thinking of starting a learning circle locally. I seriously want to help other mom's feel the way I feel.

I am re-reading what I wrote and it sounds like a sales pitch. I should write them a testimonial for their site. I love it that much.
