I am the mom who used to hate being a mom. As I worked on my journey of self-love, something changed. I started loving being with them; I started really parenting. Motherhood will always be the hardest job. It is the toughest job you will ever love. But to me, it is where I am meant to be.
The Pursuit
I am in the pursuit of happiness. Just as the inspiring and heartfelt movie "The Pursuit of Happyness" and the Declaration of Independence suggest we all have the right and ability to find and be happy. For some such as myself and Will Smith in the movie it can be a difficult and treacherous journey. [...]
Two Worlds
I am happily and luckily divorced. My ex and I were married just shy of ten years. We have two children together. JoJo is our daughter: a smart, sassy, independent, 7 year old. And Brayden is our son: a goofy, sweet, rambunctious, 6 year old. When we got divorced the kids and I moved from [...]
True Love
The truest of true love is self love. Up until fairly recently whenever anyone brought up self love I always thought they were talking about masturbation. I do have a dirty mind and very sophomoric humor but masturbation is away of loving yourself so I was not totally off. Both self love and masturbation were [...]
A Fraud
I don't want to be a fraud anymore. I think in a lot of ways I was a fraud my whole life. Between my parents divorce, my moms battle with cancer for 9 years and her devastating passing. I was always playing a role, created by someone else. Then I met my ex and played [...]
The Wildfire Within
I realized just how much anger I still have in my life. Mostly at my ex husband. I hate him, like nearly everything about him. I do not think of myself as an angry, hateful person and I know he is deserving of my hate. But I do not want to feel hate and anger [...]
I Am A Soul Seeker
I grew up in a very traditional and religious environment. Anything new age or non traditional or not Jewish even was not discussed. I didn't realize a world outside of conservative Judaism and patriarchal traditions even existed until high school really. I was always the kind of child who was friends with someone very different [...]
The Art Of Being A Hot Mess
I am a self described mess. Not just any old mess but a steaming hot mess. I spend my resources including time, energy, money, and efforts on making sure my kids, partner, dog and house are not a mess. It is so important to me that everyone else in my life have their shit together. [...]
This is where it all began
Several days ago, I realized something about myself. Something real and significant. Something that was always there but I was completely unable to see it. Something I can see in all the amazing women around me. Each and every one of you is a goddess, capable of so much greatness. I have always been inspired, [...]
