Thank you for sharing your personal inner work. I know those were for you, but I doubt you realize how much those shared words just spoke to this frazzled mama.

Wonderful to read this, very poignant for me at the moment, I have much unbalance in my life. I'm trying to address it and can't find a method that 'works'. It helps somewhat to read this amoung other things. Good luck with finding more balance in your life too. blessings x

ringing some bells here too...confusing when "well enough" just isn't - though the sparkle and wellness is still apparently about. thanks for sharing it all out loud...obviously it's resonating with more than a few of us!

Sam - you're certainly welcome! :)

Andria - If my head could be summed up in two words, it would be "I understand", :), so no one ever has to apologize to me for being long-winded, or making their way through something! :) Certainly it's what makes me tick. Tearing things apart is how I operate.

Certainly we're made up three parts, mind, body, and

reason for being....yes....I've had wonderings in this area. What is the purpose of what we do?

I have relatives who really don't understand why we live way we do, and it's only natural that after spending some time with these relatives I come away thinking "have I got this right? Have they got a vaild point?" And it sets me down a sad little path for a while

Thank you for this. I feel this way sometimes too, and it's so helpful when other bloggers open up and are vulnerable about it sometimes.

For me, writing every day, before the kids wake up, helps me feel like I am working towards my bigger dream....and keeps the grumps away. And while "the grumps" are nothing to be ashamed of, they do affect my everyday performance with

What a wonderful, thought-provoking post, Stephanie. It has resonated strongly with me, particularly "being out of balance with the bigger dream...which is now, apparently slipping away."
I'd recognised this, and knew it was making me grumpy/unhappy, but now I see that it is much deeper than that.
So now I see how I've tied myself up - I just have to find the knots to

Chris- thank you. So much.

Yes, exactly.

Winter is my usual time for getting intimate with these things (going within), but for some reason I just wasn't recognizing it as something imperative this year. :/
:) Clearly, I was wrong!

What you describe is exactly what's been missing from my experience, and its absence is what has been

Thanks so much for sharing this, Stephanie. When I live my day out of a place of seeking happiness and peace and doing those things which really call to my soul, I have an energy that can't be explained just be eating better or getting enough sleep. I'm seeking more and more of those days this year.
