Why is it so hard sometimes to see ourselves as we really are. 

I don't know about you - but sometimes the Christmas joy can fly right out the door as you are shopping for that perfect present - the lines are long, traffic crazy, heck, people a little crazy,

Can we just be real for one moment here. Yes that title is a little bold, but at the same time - doesn't it empower you to think about being a badass at something - in a good kind of way, or course.

What I had in mind is a Proverbs 31 kind of BA

Why do I call it an Art?  Because we seem to make it that, spending way too much time, talent, focus and senseless life and energy on comparison, one to another. 

WHY..... is the question? I can come up with a few reasons, but none that are positive or worthwhile.

I need to clarify that LIFE part because it's not a physical in the water struggle that Im referring to.  

It's the feeling of despair, depression, nothing is going right and you can't keep up.

Hold up - let me clarify. If you have a deep pore cleansing masque on, or some wonderful skin care masque of any sorts - that you may leave on my friend, and let it do it's magic!

I believe having children expands our ability to love unconditionally.

The heart of women (I believe because of our divine makeup), is gentle and our love spreads unconditionally and equally across ALL of our children, no matter how many we have, and I love that.

I never wanted to stay home with my kids. Yikes! Can I say that. 

High levels of discussion seem to come from the posts about Time Management, so I'm guessing this is a struggle for most people - and especially women

Lets be honest here - there are a bazillion things that can keep us from being productive in our day, and those things range from distractions from our children, spouse, work, social media and hello - our cell phones glued to us at all times.

Lets be clear right up front - Im no expert, simply a mom who survived raising 2 grown children. 

I watched as the the young mothers cuddled their children on Mothers Day, it hit me - how precious and meaningful is time and how valuable relationships are and what we put into them.
