I have had a very emotional week, working through the process of letting go of things, particularly as a mother. As I feel uncertain about the bigger things and how to process them, my old insecurities rise to the surface. It is good to know I can walk this out with other women.

It is difficult sometimes but speaking about these situations also liberates us and gives us a clear perspective of how to go about. I feel that from time to time we need to "let go" of some issues and decide what is more important for us "at this moment". And I have always found that the answer is "peace of mind, above everything else ".Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17363854783134050594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733325312731983180.post-42617789173665779092012-07-07T05:24:05.156-07:002012-07-07T05:24:05.156-07:00It's diversion, letting the "little"...It's diversion, letting the "little" things cloud the bigger picture. I think it's a process that we all go through, the uncertainty of how to handle so many difficult situations, while the perfection syndrome keeps nagging at us. I believe, as long as you do the very best that you can, the rest will take care of itself. Your life is unfolding the way it's suppose to. You live, you learn, you love. And YOU are unique and one of a kind, and you dear Cat, lady of love and light, will be just fine.prairiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693890864889350222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733325312731983180.post-37855713113465777702012-07-06T21:41:55.306-07:002012-07-06T21:41:55.306-07:00I echo glynis;) and I think your pretty just the w...I echo glynis;) and I think your pretty just the way you are;)Kmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947797743800775255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733325312731983180.post-45127546029446914502012-07-06T21:41:19.877-07:002012-07-06T21:41:19.877-07:00you poured out so much, dear friend.

The last 2 years the weight has been creeping up and seeing myself in photos from this last week was a startling wake up. I didn't feel like I was looking at myself. I don't know the answer or path to get back to loving myself except for one step at a time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02505827970329178590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733325312731983180.post-48355692470986456252012-07-06T18:29:50.155-07:002012-07-06T18:29:50.155-07:00This resonates with me and I will tell you what Go...This resonates with me and I will tell you what God spoke to clearly into my heart about 2 years ago. I was driving home from a late night visit with friends. The anguish of not being enough for my boy surfaced and my insecurity over the adoption being his "real" mom came up again. God so clearly said "no-one can be the mother you can for Reuben. You are all he needs". And that built a security in me that has remained. No-one can be the mother you can be for your boy. Through all your (and my!) imperfections the truth remains. You are all he needs. Be encouraged lovely Cat xx.<br />P.S. I had coffee with our beloved Gail yesterday! So good for my soul, she's amazing.Sammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12196141425469259485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733325312731983180.post-48817354611773249662012-07-06T15:36:05.522-07:002012-07-06T15:36:05.522-07:00you are brave for love: could there be anything mo...you are brave for love: could there be anything more noble?<br /><br />xoxo,<br />AAllisunny S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17806275775227416608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-733325312731983180.post-43747216948779174352012-07-06T14:01:51.902-07:002012-07-06T14:01:51.902-07:00I constantly deflect. squeezy hug from me to you. ...I constantly deflect. squeezy hug from me to you. i so understand this.. oh motherhood and all that comes with being woman. I do the same thing with my weight. it is where i deflect too and most days, I don't think twice about it but when something else is going on, something deeper, i seem to focus on my exterior rather than my interior. It happened even when I was in tip top physical shape with no extra body fat. we are deep complicated beings. sitting in the midst of a child's pain, knowing they too are deep complicated beings and taking it in because that's what mothers do, especially empaths, well that can be devastating. I'm glad that you spoke about this. it helps knowing that other women do this too and I agree, there is choice.. sometimes it comes after the storm. The pain I think is inevitable because when you love, it can hurt. Especially when it's your child. Then the sun comes out again and the choice is clear and it helps sustain for awhile until the next one. ebbs and flows exactly. love to you my friend. xoxonyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12592583659013282708noreply@blogger.com
