identity
I’ve been reading a book called The Mommy Diaries: finding yourself in the daily adventure. It has been refreshing to see how who I was before kids is still who I am. I’m still organized, love being around people, and am always up for a good cup of coffee.
I’ve learned that whether gathering my employees for a team meeting or coaxing 2 preschoolers to get into the car, candy always works! Excel can create a pretty mean cleaning schedule. My internet research now produces meal plans for the week…with grocery lists ready to print! And no matter WHAT your role in life is, coffee can wake you up!
I worried that I’d be bored and “lose my edge”. Life now takes even more of who I am to balance work, parenting, house, food, and volunteering in the community. My identity? I’m me, and I always will be.
