Encouragement Today and Motivation Monday
As we begin a new week take the time to remember these simple words,
“In today’s rush we all think too much, seek too much, want too much and forget about the joy of just Being.” Eckhart Tolle
Do not get so lost in the hurried up hustle and bustle of the week that you forget the power of being “just you” and remaining physically and emotionally present in your own life. Do not get so lost in the mundaneness of the week that when you drop your kids off at school or at the daycare that you forget to engage with them at an emotional level. Get down on their level and give them an extra meaningful hug, one they feel emotionally.
When you leave your spouse be sure to connect with them at a level that made them love you initially.
When you go to work, do not get lost in the job politics instead stand taller than all of that. Stand true to who you are, even if that means some people stand back and question who you are.
My challenge to you this week is to remember who “you are” and be true to yourself this week. Do not get so busy this week that you forget to just be “you”.
Have a wonderful week!

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I served in the United States Army, went to college, received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology, homeschooled my daughter every year from start to finish, and now I am currently a daycare teacher's aide (soon to be a two-year-old teacher coming this fall).
I married my husband when he was in the United States Army so I have the unique knowledge of what it is like to be on both sides of a Military uniform.
While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 24 years old now, was born and I made the difficult decision to put my career on hold to be her mom.
The past 20 years have been wrought with many struggles but as a result of those struggles, this blog was created.
As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to then it is my desire to allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing."
The years passed and the struggles did not. However, I feel now is the time God wants me to share these stories of hardships with the hopes they provide encouragement to you if you are struggling in the same way. It is my prayer they will serve as a healing opportunity for you.
I want you to know you are not alone. There are others who know where you are and what you are feeling.
Cling to the hope this won't last forever and that God is standing beside you while He holds you up and dries your tears. He is showing you the way, you just need to follow Him.
Big Hugs, Heidi
