So I have to confess, I'm not the world's greatest swimmer. My friend decided to come to my aid and give me some swimming lessons. She came prepared and ready to teach me everything I needed to know about swimming. Well it so happens I do know how to swim, I just don't know how to breath!
If I recall, breathing is an involuntary movement that our body does without us thinking about it. If this is the case, I don't understand why it's so hard for me. I find in life that I tend to hold my breath on too many occasions and then I'm struggling to catch my breath.
I have eight kids, five of which are my stepkids. Things come at me strong and fast and I think having so many different personalities to deal with makes it super tricky because I was raised as an only child. I want everyone to be happy and I want to be the best mom and stepmom. When that doesn't happen I tend to be hardest on myself. I am starting to realize that I just need to breath and just be me. I am in their life for a reason. I serve a different purpose in all of their lives and I can contribute by supporting them in their journey and just love them for who they are.
