Journey to the Mothership

               It's been a long time since my last blog entry and a lot has happened since then. Although personal stories aren't my thing here, what I can say is that I have grown so much from being a new parent in the past year. I now have a deeper understanding of the struggle, worry, fear, and love that comes with parenting.  I also have a deeper connection with the stories and dreams that other parents have shared with me.  Never in my life have my emotions have been high and low, self esteem tested, and dreams realized in one experience.  Parenthood has been a unique journey and it continues with a new adventure every day. The past year has been all about my child, but in a way it has been all about me as well since my child depends on me to be well so I can tend well to my parental responsibilities.  I can definitely understand better now how important self care is when parenting, and how little time there really is to do that. The good thing for me is that napping and cleaning are two really good ways I relieve stress.

              So I am back today, making a return to something I really enjoy doing, and that is writing this blog. I hope to stay on target by posting twice a month and sharing other articles or blogs in between. Hopefully I will post more than less . But since more is better and less is more, either way I'll be doing better.
