I have battled my own form of self inflicted depression... essentially not allowing myself to find joy in things that I do because in my sub conscious mind I must not give any of my energy to anything other than tending to and rearing my children. This is even more brazen in my face when my husband is working away from home. I have been able to find some peace in my soul and with the help my Father in Heaven, some self reflection, and Young Living Essential Oils, I've been able to feel like I can give some energy to things that bring me joy. Well tonight, after a week and a half of trying to find the things I wanted, I created a fall wreath for my house! I love it! My sister called me while I was working... I will confess that I was watching an Ashley Tisdale chick flick while I was crafting and I almost squealed with delight to tell her I was crafting!! It feels so great. So will out further adieu I present my new fall wreath!

I can't believe that I'm having this kind of a discussion with my 15 year old. What a wonderful evening. We talked about trying to decide what kind of courses you want to take and trying to find a school that matches what you are wanting to learn and study.

As the queen of my domain I have been moving forward in life raising kids and doing the day to day things that have to be done. All of a sudden time has caught up to me and we are discussing schools, post secondary education, life at college/university. We talked about people that we can ask questions about different career choices. We talked...
So cute Chisa!! I love it! I think we moms need to do more things that bring us joy other than caring for our children :) good job!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Chisa! I love the colours, position, everything! Dustin always says that if I'm not doing something to stimulate my brain, how am I supposed to stimulate Adam's? Makes sense to me... so I tell myself that when I am taking "me time". Love you!!
