Hello everyone. I am a working woman and a mom of three beautiful children which are wonderful. I wouldn’t trade motherhood for anything. When my children were small, I spent most of my days trying to make them happy. As a parent, that is our job. However we often get lost making others happy; whether it be our children, spouse or even employer. When do we make ourselves happy? When do we take the gifts god gave us and use them?



You may be an artist, a writer, an activist, a musician or someone who can grow beautiful flowers or bake the best cookies. No matter what you enjoy, start to experience it. I know how difficult it was to find time and build up the courage to do for me. It is possible just by taking small steps. Here are just a few tips you can try:



Utilize the internet; you can find other mommies that maybe have the same interests and may need support too. You may want to try www.cafemom.com.
Don’t be afraid to try things. If you want to paint, start with a small set of paints and brushes. (again there are groups on-line for this too)
If you have children, show them what you are doing. Let them see your talents and joy mom gets from planting some lilies or making a sculpture. Maybe you can even involve them at times.
MOST IMPORTANTLY DON’T FEEL GUILTY FOR WANTING TO DO SOMETHING THAT YOU ENJOY.

We all know that a beautiful tree starts with just a small seed, it needs to be nurtured to grow and bloom and so do you. Take a small step today and remember God created us and gave us special gifts; experiment with them. J
