[...] Not long ago I felt completely out of balance on so many levels. Life felt overwhelming. I’ve waded through those emotions and experiences and in the process of letting go I feel like a healing has occurred. I feel well, whole and supported. It is my intention to continue to feel this way by honoring my need for nourishment, sleep and balance. I want to use my creative energies to continue to nourish myself and my family this week.

Thanks for sharing Nina. I send you lots of support as you figure out this next phase. Changes are always unsettling for everyone–especially the littles. We’ve been launching the family business and I can see how our stress over needing to get things rolling really affected them (and me).

oh it must be something in the air. my two year old started crying i screamed so loudly last night. and boy that made me feel worse. then I just said I’m sorry and I need a break (I don’t have family or a partner to be able to leave) and walked away to a chair nearby but not as close as he wanted. he hasn’t been napping well this week and I found I really.need.him.to.nap. even if I nap at the same time its nice to just have some down time. its hard taking care of a kid and all the worries of life – no job, losing our house, soon to run out of unemployment and try to stay upbeat and not stressed. I want to try to start doing yoga with him. one thing that’s really helped me is to remind myself, ok he’s tired, he will listen less and repeat things often (extra irritating) so try not to overreact…anyway I’m sorry things are hard. I hope things turn around for you.
