I started the Moms Empowered blog and project because I have struggled for many years feeling like I had to leave behind some important parts of myself when I became a mother, in order to be a good one. I believed I had to stop developing my talents or taking time for myself or that doing those things would hurt and take away from my family, especially if they didn't directly have to do with home, family, or church callings. I wanted to do what was best for my family, so I tried to be happy without those things, but then, over the past few years, God has let me know that he put those desires and talents in me for a reason and that he doesn't want me to neglect those things. He taught me that, yes, there has to be balance, and my family is my highest, most important calling, but in order to serve my family best, I need to develop all the parts of myself and nourish and invest time in myself. He let me know that I was free all along, and that I was the one who created those limits in my life. I am learning to be more purposeful, joyful, and powerful in mothering and in who I am as a person. I'm happier and better able to enjoy the moments with my kids. I'm still learning and overcoming old habits, but I feel like a dark cloud has been lifted and I am choosing my life on purpose now. In the process of learning these things and beginning to take time to create and grow myself, I have felt a call to also share this with other moms who might be struggling with the same issues. So I started Moms Empowered as a way to record the things I am learning and also share them with other moms.My goal and purpose is encouraging mothers in personal growth and wholeness, living powerfully and purposefully by inspiration and intuition, and nurturing and developing themselves as they nurture and develop their families. That is what I am striving for myself.
If you know moms who would benefit from this message, please feel free to share my blog with them.
