Did you ever wake up at some point in your life and wonder how you got there? To that place, or condition, or in a certain lifestyle? I have. Somewhere in marriage, pregnancy, nursing, dirty diapers (OH the diapers!!), starting my business, in the general business of making a life, I lost myself.
I lost some of my dreams - or rather gave them up for other dreams. I stopped putting any importance on my health, my convictions, my SELF. My life is full of the stresses of motherhood and business, and I've let it define me. I don't like what I've become. This journey will hopefully continue throughout my life, and I'll probably fail (and I don't like to fail!!) more than once, but hopefully I will find Leslie. Her hopes and dreams, her love for life, and her "light", I want it all back. We are all on a journey - some of us, like me have just lost track of the destination. Want to journey with me?
Could have written this myself!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the world of blogging!!!
ReplyDeleteI know all about losing yourself! I have had some big changes happen to me in the past few years and I am totally different to who I used to be and I don't like it!
Leslie, this is exactly how I feel! I'll totally come along for the ride!
ReplyDeleteI'm with the other ladies here. It's so easy to lose ourselves because as women, we tend to devote 100% of ourselves to our families...thus losing ourselves completely. I'll journey with you! In fact, I've already started this journey and I am discovering things about myself I've never known before!
ReplyDeleteI agree 100 %.
