Happy September 1st Everyone! 🍁
As I wake up this morning, I can’t help to just feel so overjoyed and grateful! When I started Mom Mondays: Reclaiming Your Identity. My soul purpose behind it was to push Moms to set aside time for themselves, because we as Moms can get so consumed in Motherhood that we forget how important it is to take care of ourselves. So when I created my first Mom Monday post about ‘Mom Identity Theft’, I honestly was taken back at the amount of feedback and support I got. Being able to see for yourself and have that reminder that you are not alone in this everyday #MomLife. It was heartwarming.
So yesterday being able to have my first Mom Monday Mama date out. My heart was so overjoyed! It was definitely a great way to close out the month of August! And I hope to continue to have more Mama dates with all the amazing Moms that I know out here within the Milwaukee Area. I don’t want to just sit behind a screen blogging away, because I want to have a more physical connection, because that is JUST AS if not MORE important than connecting with individuals online. So I am just beyond grateful with the amount of support I have received since Mom Monday started.
The dark hole I was in just two months ago telling my husband how “2020 has taken so many people I know. When is it my turn?!” The complete and utter exhaustion I felt. Mentally, Physically, and Spiritually. I completely lost all sense of who I was. That it took one question from someone in a conversation to be my Saving Grace. And it was “Tell me. What is Mom Life like without the kids?” It was the most simplest question, but it hit so deep and hard inside, because I had no answer! I truly did not know how to answer that, because I didn’t know what that was really like.
The next day, after Listening to a Joel Osteen message on a Sunday Morning. It was like that sermon was meant for me in so many ways. After listening to Him, I went to jump in the shower and my mind was just in knots. Then that question my friend asked popped in my head and it was at that moment a fire lit under me. Talking to myself in the shower, “Like who the hell is Krystle?!” Tears rolling down my face, feeling so empty, but in the same moment my mind was as clear as day and Mom Mondays: Reclaiming Your Identity came about.
I had finally found my purpose. I had never felt so alive. This was my way in to help others, something I have always done, because that’s the person I have always been. A helper and a giver. So I can’t even explain how excited I am. How at peace I’ve been, but I’m so excited to continue this journey! I am truly grateful!
