Make It

As Moms, we make beds, make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, make dinner, make beds, make love with our husbands, make life better for friends, family and even strangers, make chocolate birthday cakes, make cards and notes to lift someone’s spirits, make eggs and pancakes, make a celebration out of children’s milestones, make floors and toilets shine, make medical and dental appointments to keep our families healthy, make the pick-up lines after school, make yet another school or sporting event, and make sure everyone else’s life is running smoothly and that they have exactly what they need to be successful, to feel loved and appreciated.

But… what about ourselves?

Do we make the time to stop, breath and just be? Do we make the time to plan and dream? Do we make the time to consider our own passions, purpose and dreams? Do we make the time to decide who and what we want to be?

Do we make the time to carve out the niche just for us? Do we make the time to feed and love ourselves and our own souls? Do we make the time to push aside the fear, the guilt and to do a little something on the sidelines that is for us-about us-screams us?

Do we? Do you?

Make something new in your life that is about and for you. Make your heart sing and your soul smile. Make the journey to finding that part of you that you have hidden, forgotten or haven’t talked to in awhile. Make the time to rediscover and love you.

Start today and make a difference and change in your own life. Make yourself happy and make your life a fulfilling and balanced one. Make a decision to just do it.

Make this life your life too.
