Take the Thing! A Mother's Day Message

Last Sunday I got mildly annoyed with my husband for not making more of an effort to pitch in and move things along so we could get to church on time.  He’s been wonderfully involved before, helping little kids get ready, etc.,  but has had a lot on his mind lately.  And my bad, I didn't bother to ask.  I missed the sacrament- my most important weekly ritual of spiritual renewal.  I was a bit down in the dumps as we drove.  Not a fun traveling companion.  Well, let’s be real.  As the consummate introvert, I’m never the life of the party, but you get the idea.  Haven’t you done it yourself, hoping your downcast eyes would give him a clue? But I know that always backfires.  So I just observed my feelings, monitored my thoughts, didn’t arrive at anything helpful to say and let it pass.  In this episode you can hear all about what happened next...Stop mistreating and denying yourself in the hopes that your family will take pity on you.  Instead, treat yourself as the queen that you are and watch your family follow suit. I want to see you have a joyful, loving Mother’s Day that’s full of gratitude and delight.  So please don’t wait around and hope that it happens.  Decide right now that it’s going to, and clear out any logistical and mental obstacles. If you have any questions and concerns around that, by all means, send them my way in the instagram chat!I’ve been a little quiet on social media because I’m in building mode, and so excited for my upcoming offers.  But I’m always happy to chat and be educated about all the different circumstances you beautiful seekers are dealing with.And will you do me a favor?  I’m sure you know another mama who could benefit from this episode, so please send her the link with some love!  I’d be so happy for this episode to reach as many mamas as possible!
