Self Worth?

I thought I would be lucky enough, for some reason to skip the pregnancy hormones. No such luck.. 14 weeks and they've finally hit me.. Im teary at silly ad's, small things mean lots, and situations that I can normal handle without batting an eyelid have me up in arms.

So with all this in mind it got me thinking about my self worth, and how we all measure our self worth in this world..
As previously mentioned I've had a bit of a tough year.. Not wanting to unload all my drama's on my wonderful friends I seeked the help of an outsider- yep a counseller. Someone who doesnt know me, but can offer insight and point out the so obvious.. Well this lady rocks, and I always look forward to our next session..

In one session I mentioned how I would feel like a failure if for some reason Baby for life didnt work out.. If I chose to be a full time stay at home mum and close it down, or if it became financially unviable to operate. I said but I would have failed.. My counseller- lets call her Lady, pointed out that we shouldnt (but we do) measure our self worth as a person by what we do. My Business, or even if I worked as a casual cleaner somewhere does NOT define me. It does not make me any less or any more of a better human being..

I knew logically what she was saying, but to believe it was another thing altogether. What is important is our family and the strength in it. Our friendships with those around us. And how we view ourselves internally outside of everything else.



I do feel proud of myself for my accomplishments, and I am a high achiever. It makes me happy that I have such an open & honest relationship with my husband. I cant believe how well we've done so far raising a healthy, intelligent, independent little boy. I love the thought and design we put into renovating our home & garden.I think I am a pretty caring friend to those that matter to me.I am passionate with my beliefs, and give everything my best. And overall I'm pretty cool :)

I know it's pretty deep for a Tuesday , but I ask you, what makes you proud to be you?

Welcome!

Hello There! Yes you!
I am no expert, I'm a mum just like you doing her best to raise 2 active boys while maintaining a home, a part time job and running a business (all with the help of my wonderful & very patient husband)

This blog isn't about trying to sell you stuff
(though at times I just cant help but tell you about goodies I use at home myself) It's about my life, my challenges with both family life and business and how I attempt to make it all work!

I look forward to you sharing the journey- and would love you to share your journey along the way too! I hope to also share with you helpful blogs and businesses that I've found and love!
