I think sometimes we live in a world where people get so set in their ways that they refuse to see things any other way. It comes in many forms and sometimes that means the best of people get hurt in the process. Don’t take it personally and know that it’s not you, it’s them. Don’t let people destroy you for anything you are or do.

The crazy thing about growth is that it happens over time, but you don’t always notice it. The one day you notice it. Things are different, you’re different. It’s not a bad thing, it just happens. You will experience growth throughout every aspect of your life and within yourself. Recently I’ve noticed my own growth.

Today is day 30 of my 30 day challenge I set for myself. Boy was my rough draft really a rough draft. If you haven’t read it yet, you can read it here. I learned a lot the last 30 days and have redefined my challenge ‘guidelines.’ I didn’t really know what I needed until I started and I have decided to continue into a 60 day challenge.

The last year has been crazy. We’ve navigated our way through quarantine, a pandemic, devastating fires, and distance learning. Our world was turned upside down and we adapted the best we could. Was it easy, no, but we did the best we could. Sometimes that’s all you can do.

Last week one of my amazing supporters asked a great question, “why are moms so quick to judge other moms?” While I did answer her with my opinion in my last Q&A, I would like to dive more in depth into it. Mom shaming or judgement from other parents is something we’ve all had to deal with at one point or another. Why? Let’s find out.

March 7th 2006 my water broke. It was a flurry of emotions. I was terrified, excited, scared, happy, sad. My hormones were all over the place and I was to young to fully understand all that I was about to go through. Checking into the hospital made it real. I was having a baby, now today. A mere 8 hours later at 5:03 AM my baby boy was born. This sweet precious chubby face. I did it. I had my baby.

“It was a normal day. She took her kids to school. Cleaned the house. Went to work. Made dinner. Cleaned again. Prepared everything for the next day. As she went to wash her face before bed, she cried. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. To hide her tears she hopped in the shower. Crying in the shower meant no one would notice right? As she stared in the mirror eyes red and puffy she felt a sadness…..”

I’ve been sitting here staring at a blank page for almost an hour now. My brain literally will not work. I can’t think. There’s nothing running through my head. That says a lot considering there’s always at least one hundred things running through my head at all times. Did I lock the door, are the dogs outside, is my son’s dentist appointment today. You know the usual mom things. It’s the perfect example of the mom brain.

Fun fact, not everyone has an inner voice. As someone that’s always had one, that seems weird. My daughter taught me that. She learned it in school. Have you ever thought about the way you talk to yourself? That inner voice inside your head that runs its mouth. Sometimes it says nice things and sometimes it’s not so nice. Often we don’t even realize what it’s saying until it’s said.
