So much is happening with Mentoring Moms and there is so much still to come! Mentoring Moms was created after seeing a need to take care of the women who take care of so many other people.
Moms, you are everything to everyone, yet so often you yourself are running on fumes. But you keep running because you understand that when Mom stops, everything stops. I have been this mom. Exhausted, overwhelmed, resentful, unhealthy, self-depreciating...oh the list goes on and on and it is SO sad. I have learned some amazing things through a lot of different avenues--counseling, mentoring, even just by living and overcoming. Now that I'm on the other side of this, with tools and experiences and knowledge, it's time for me to give back. To lift as many moms as I possibly can. To love and support you. To give you the tools you need to rediscover the pure joy that exists in motherhood. It's there; it's just sometimes buried under old mail, empty Diet Coke cans and smeared peanut butter. My hope is that, as you use these tools to help yourself, you'll also be able to teach these tools to your children. You'll help them remember who they are and why they're here. They'll become the amazing person you see in their sweet faces while you watch them sleep at night. Mom, let me help you. Let me teach you the things I know and the things I'm learning and let's do this together. Families are under attack right now, we are constantly bombarded with images and conversations that bring us down. No more. We're going to take care of ourselves, take care of our families and then take care of each other. A mother's love and nurturing is a powerful force. We can do this if we do it together.
To Your Joy,
Peggy
