Motherhood

Fear is something that has a tendency to hold us back, especially me. I used to be such a free spirit who would jump head first into things and worry about the consequences later. There are a lot of days where I miss that girl. I think the fear took over when I became a mother and I was responsible for the life of someone else.

Do you know who fear's best friend is? Worry! I worry a lot. I worry about things that I have absolutely no control over, especially my kids. I don't want to micromanage my children, I know that they need to have room to grow, they need to make mistakes and learn from them. I cannot solve all of their problems, trust me when I say that I want to. I worry about losing them. I worry about them losing me. I worry about who they're hanging around with, whether or not they'll make the right choice when I'm not there to make sure they do. I have spent the last 13 years worrying and I don't foresee it slowing down anytime soon.

These two beautiful human beings I brought into this world consume my heart. They are my biggest accomplishments and the best things that have ever happened to me. I am learning to let go of my (excessive) worries and fears...Let go and let God. The biggest lesson I am trying to implement at this stage in my life is "Let your faith be bigger than your fear".

A mother's greatest gift is the love of her children.

World Cerebral Palsey Day

Since 2012, the first Wednesday of October has become World Cerebral Palsey Day. World Cerebral Palsey Day is a movement of and for people who live with cerebral palsy, as well as their families and organizations that support them. 

This day is held very near and dear to my heart, as my best friends son has cerebral palsy. He is the most adorable little man, whose smile lights up the entire room. My best friend and her husband are absolutely amazing, he definitely lucked out in the parental department! 

If you know someone who has Cerebral Palsey, make sure to rock your GREEN today! If you're on social media make sure you tag it #worldcpday.
