Thanks MOM I do it for you!
WOW! So this is it my first post on my blog. I have to be honest I have actually sat and thought about starting a blog for more than a year and a half now. But, why did I wait..... Well, I struggle, because I always wonder who would even want to read it???
How many people are in the world again? There has to be at least one person who wants to hear that it's normal to love your kids but enjoy time by yourself. Or maybe there are women out there who need to know that it's okay that you love your corporate job, that no one is judging you for having a life. See, I am a 32-year-old mom of two girls: Isla, who's five-and-a-half, and Harper, who's two-and-a-half, and married to an amazing man, who lets me be me.
As of today, I work from home early in the morning, because, let's be honest, you can't get anything done with a tiny two-year-old tyrant! But I still have a corporate mom mindset. Yep, WTF does that mean? That means that it's been a year since I got laid off from the corporate world due to the economic decline, was not successful at just being a "stay at home" mom, so when God gave me an opportunity to run my own business from home, I jumped at the chance.
So not getting to far off track, that brings me to this blog and what I hope it to be about. My goal (I'm big on goals, if you do not have any written down, I dare you to do it) is that you follow me for inspiration, advice about marriage, fitness, faith, and humor, because life is to short to be serious, and at the end of the day if you can't laugh at yourself or a situation then you won't learn.
It is important to know that every day is a step to our ultimate purpose and you have the opportunity to impact everyone that crosses your path.
I will put bio under the “about me” tab, but I feel like its important to try and summarize who I feel I am. You know I am a mom with two kids, but I am also married to the most amazing man in the world! Truly a gift from God and my mom. Yes, that's right, my mom! I will definitely write a whole blog post about her story, but when I was 21, I found out my mom was sick on a Friday with cancer, and she died four days later on a Tuesday in 2003!
I know, crazy right? I have had my good days and my bad ones, but the one thing I strive for is at the end of the day, did I make her proud? And that's why I am doing this. I feel if I keep my story and advice secret, it's selfish, and I believe that I should pay it forward and help as many people as I can.
So, welcome to my blog, #mindylittle, (I can't believe they don't call this a pound sign anymore). Glad you're here, and cheers to my motto on life: Inhale the future and exhale the past, LIFE IS SHORT, so don't waste it!!
XOXO
