Inspiration

I love facebook.. I'm addicted to it.. I love having that fly on the wall aspect of dear friends and family.

One of my good friend, someone that always had the right words when you come to see her for advise posted this on as her status:

Don't be afraid if things seem difficult in the beginning. That's only the initial impression. The important thing is not to retreat; you have to master yourself."

I thought that is so perfect for what my life has become.. the whys have almost all disappeared and have been replaced with what can I do.. Hence why most of my friends think I'm insane when I tell them that my children are dairy and gluten free.. Yes, it hard work. Yes, I wish for the simple life but you know once you start you can only go forward and the changes in my children are worth it. I've actually decided to apply the same principal to my own life..by taking care of my health, I hope that find some more balance...... but I know a secret...... If you believe it will happen. It might be though at first but it will come and yesterday will always seem easier than today no matter what your life circumstances are.

So on that, I bid you goodnight.

Take care

Love notes.

Most of the time, life overwhelms me. How can I balance a career? young children? a husband? and the never ending house chores?

On those days, I normally put all the chores aside and start looking for the reasons why I'm doing what I doing? Am I looking for validation? Justification? A need for self-fulfilment? Then out of nowhere, as I'm walking around the house figuring what's the next thing I need to do.. I heard the soft snores or the gentle whispers of my kids sleeping.. that when it hits me... This is why I signed up for this circus act.. for these little humans, that loves you unconditionally, they leave little notes all over the house .. A strand sock on the side of the sink, a reminder that they need to know where you are at any given moment... that trail of cheerios across the house that crunches as you go because they wanted to be there with you... doesn't matter what you are doing, they just want to make sure that you are there.. those sticky handprints on the windows, doors and more so your clothes are also part of those little love notes..

Do I need to get away? yes, like any other parents of busy young children. Can I afford it? No, like any other parents of busy young children.

I have not yet reached or found a solution to reaching that balance act in the circus of my life.. The main reason is that I keep getting distracted by these little love notes that I see everywhere.

Take care for now.
