Hi, friend! I am so glad you have stopped by my little corner of the internet. I hope you’ll take some time to look around and join our wonderful community of moms here as we learn to be better moms together!
Is worry crowding out the joy of your mothering? When anxiety and motherhood collide get ready to fight an intense battle for freedom of your spirit, body, and mind. These three important factors that can arm you well and help you heal....
As I reached over to unbuckle my seatbelt, my friend grab my arm gently and looked straight into my eyes.
Lisa, have you thought about you and Stephen going for counseling together?
If there's anything moms have in common, it’s that we worry.
We worry about our kids. We worry for our kids. We worry we aren’t enough. We worry we aren’t doing enough. We worry we’re doing too much.
We long for peace. But we live in worry.
And not worry so much.
To be unshaken by my present circumstances and undaunted by today's challenges.
And yet here I find myself troubled in spirit and unsettled in my soul.
So you might not know that we care for my mother-in-law and that she and Dad have lived with us for the past 17 years.
And how I love her.
And how she suffers from Alzheimer's and hardly recognizes who we are anymore.
I sat in the front seat, unmoving. Goosebumps covered my body, yet I was dripping with sweat. My heart was racing and my head spinning as if I had gotten up too fast. I willed my breathing to be slow and steady. In through the nose, 2, 3, out through the mouth, 2, 3. Despite my best efforts the breaths were shaky and thin. I knew what was happening. I also knew it just had to run it's course. I was having a panic attack.
