OK so everyone is saying to find your expertise and blog it…and so I have been thinking about this. And although I am always exploring my inner workings…I have been, up ‘til now, left without any ideas. So, again today, I was thinking about this “expertise” of mine…and it was as if I had a flashback of the questions people out in public always ask me. This question is always something like… “How do you do it?” And they then usually say something which refers to the amount of children I have and keeping up with them…things such as “I only have two children and I feel like I am going crazy…but 5!!!??? Or the winning phrase yet, “You sure have your hands full!”
I always feel an inner urge to explain to these strangers that “No, sorry, but my experience is totally different.” But I also know that anything more than a short fake laugh would break the rules of social small talk. Then seeing the confused looks on their faces I may then feel compelled to explain my ideas of motherhood or worse yet, suggestions of getting others to my level.
And I don’t even know if anyone really cares to hear whatever it is that I would have to say or suggest! But at this point, I have had enough pretend conversations with myself that I absolutely have to get it out. So for anyone out there who really would like to know how one young woman raises and cares for five children, studies at the graduate level, studies for self-empowerment, writes, is founding Back II Center a Nonprofit Organization, creates workshops and programs, and manages a household all with great cause and dedication…a woman who aspires to find peace in her days, loves her life, takes care of her own needs, and is fully appreciating parenthood, well then follow me. If you like what I have to share, then keep following and then let your friends know, especially those who are mothers and trying to find balance….Thanks for listening!
