I've been away. I've been reflecting. I've been figuring it all out (HA)
This year has been busy and one full of discovery. I spent the first 8 weeks producing a kids musical with about 140 kids. It was hard and SO much work and filled me with energy. I was in my element and as hard as it was on the family....it really helped me find myself again. Giving up my career 3 years ago after surprise baby #3 really depleted me of anything that was mine. I was always mommy or wife. Here I was Sarah. Ass Kicker.....Name Taker. I LOVED it.
I've committed this year to be a year of me. As a mom of 3 busy kids...this sounded hard. How could I be a good mom (can you say Jr. Higher, agh), keep a clean house (oh the laundry), be a loving thoughtful wife, PLUS, give myself the love I needed? Well I've been trying to work on that and with really minimal effort so far I'm a better mom, wife, friend, daughter when I put myself toward the top of the list.
What I learned in the 8 weeks the show was in full swing is.... I am important. I NEED to go to therapy. I NEED to go to Yoga, I NEED to fuel my body and move my body. I NEED to read a good book.
I have no bigger problems than anyone else. I'm a busy mom. I struggle to balance everything. I struggle to know myself, to honor my journey.
I hope this can become a space for me to explore that journey. To connect with others who want to learn to love themselves and in the process love others better.
I have a really exciting book review coming this week. It's by one of my favorite authors. I really enjoyed this book as I LOVE all the characters after over 9 books and multiple short stories..they are like my family.
Stay tuned.
