Journal of a Mom on a life Journey

Late last year I made the decision to start living my life again. I stopped living life trying to be PERFECT! Society has put pressure on people to act like robots to do this and to do that this way....this caused me to loose myself in perfection! I am no where near perfect, but the pressure to comply to the soccer mom image was detrimental to the real me. My kids are all adults now, so maybe I was experiencing the empty nest syndrome and I was reflecting on how much FUN I use to be I saw myself as a uptight snob!

I made the decision to let go of what others think of how you should act and embraced MY personality. What this means to me is that it is okay to be ME! I am okay in who I am and I do not need to fit into anyone's shoes but my own size six shoes! I love being me!

I am unique and no one else is like me, I am okay and now I am FREE to be responsible with this freedom to love my family and friends and people that I meet to freely share myself with the world with my love, friendship, spontaneity, and my love of life. Instead of being a cookie cutter soccer mom driven to be PERFECT.

In my imperfections I have went to see my first Blues band, I am dancing to music again, I can now see past other peoples flaws now and can give them the gift of freedom by accepting them as themselves then I get the gift back in finding some really awesome people out there from many different walks of life.

It feels good not being perfect and I am having tons of fun not being perfect and just being who I am supposed to be!  happy
