I'm Feeling Called To...

During this time of our lives, I’m feeling called to not only get back on here and post again, but also to get back to posting on social media as well.

I’ve been struggling with getting back on social media, ever since I took a huge break from it.

You see, I’m an empath, and I take everyone’s energies in, so for me, social media can bring me more down than up because it moves fast and it’s filled with a lot noise!

I’ve been wanting to start my blog again, but, it seems like every time I sit down to start, the next day something happens in my mom life that pulls me away from it.

Well, this time, after my last post, hey girl hey, something HUGE pulled me away, which you all know, is this quarantine that we’re all in the midst of.

Since my kiddos have been home, and since we’ve all been told to stay home, I’ve loved how this time is allowing me to within myself and reconnect to ME!

Because I can easily get pulled into fear as I read the news as to what’s been happening in our world, I’ve noticed that I’ve felt an even bigger pull to FINALLY get creating again, because CREATING easily pulls my thoughts out fear and back into faith.

Since I can’t easily sit down at my computer with my kids home with me all day, I’ve been thinking of ways of how I can create and share, right now, in this very moment.

And wouldn’t you know, I was reminded of what I used to do when I was home all day with my babies and toddlers!

I did a doodle in the morning and a savoring life moment in the evening, so I could stay connected to my inner, creative, JOYous self while being a stressed out and frazzled mom.

My stress is always there, and even greater now with what’s going on in the world, so what better way for me to keep my thoughts focused on faith instead of fear by jumping back into my creativity and sharing it on her and on social media again.

I truly see GOOD in all of this, because I truly believe that this time in life is helping me SEE that it’s time to get unstuck and CREATE again, no matter what craziness is going on in life, just like I did when my kids were little.

Right after I made that decision, I was sitting at my kitchen table and I looked over and I saw my girl being her independent 10-year-old self who was determined to make herself some popcorn no matter how high the microwave is.

A moment I definitely wanted to savor!

So as we all go through this together, here’s to keeping creativity, calm and faith ALIVE during these not-so calm and fearful times.

Until next time…

See something that makes you stop and smile. Grab your camera!! It'll slow you down, pull you into the present moment even more and have you SAVORing your JOY feeling even more!! And most of all, it will allow you to SEE things that you may have passed by (like your daughter being her independent self!). The camera...it's powerful...especially when it comes to JOY! :)

That's WHY I take pictures!! The camera is one of my favorite creative tools that easily pulls me outta my frazzled + overwhelmed mama head so I can fully SAVOR (the feeling of) everything that makes me stop, smile and lights me UP with LOVE (something that's hard for me to do when my mind is running five miles ahead or behind the present moment)

Who YOU are is what YOU love...SAVOR IT! :)
