Dear Mama,
You live such a busy life. There are many demands on your time and energy, not to mention the fears and doubts you might have about being a good parent. With every meltdown and mess from our children, with every snippy interaction with our partners, and with every moment we feel slighted or judged by others, we have a choice about how we want to react. Before you do anything, take a breath. It will help you gather your thoughts, feel slightly more grounded, and slow down the pace. Then, put one foot forward and keep going. You are amazing!
