I have had some similar experiences. People who assumed things were much better for me than they seemed. I think this is a danger of blogging, for sure, but it’s also a danger in everyday life. We often don’t share the nitty-gritty details of our life. Maybe because they’re too personal, or they would hurt others, or because we’re just not ready to. So I think that we often think that others have it more together, just because we don’t have the whole picture.

I try to keep that in mind, and it helps me when things get crazy for me. Just as this blogging community helps me to feel not so alone.

Other mother’s blogging has spurred me on in so many areas of personal growth mostly because they were writing about their successes and sharing their enthusiasm for their lives. Their enthusiasm and gratefulness and showing all the cool things they do and who they are inspire me.

Blogging as ” a tool that I use to transform my everyday grind into something that fills my cup; a tool that reminds me all week long that my life is an amazing gift and I best not forget it.” wow, so well said.

This post resonates with me, too. I very distinctly remember writing my first posts that were about the very real “bumps” on my path toward peaceful parenting. The bumps have actually gotten so much bigger since then, but so has my perspective and my support.
