I don't think many of us realize how special we are, or how important we are in someone's life. Take for example, the typical American mother with grown kids. She's cleaned up our life spills, washed thousands of loads of laundry, and mopped the kitchen floor an uncountable number of times.
But now that her kids are growing up, getting jobs, or going to college, I've seen time and again that she hesitates to truly commit to doing something for herself.
Why? Maybe because she has spent so much time giving to others that it now feels foreign to "take" time for herself. Or maybe she just doesn't believe in herself.
I am a young mom, with the world before me. I get my degree in June, I've accepted a part-time job once I graduate, and I plan to have a small garden in my backyard.
But I don't want to become like every other American mom, not that she is a bad person. I want to spend each day living life to the fullest, appreciating my family and spending time with them, and also taking time for myself.
Do you want to join me on this life-long quest?
