Imagine the World if Everyone Sent out Love!



From the words of a very special lady Heather Fortune, Founder of the non-profit organization The Mommies Network
What does it mean to support someone?

It means that you assume benign intent. It means that you take them for face value and don't judge them. It means you put yourself in their shoes and see the world from their perspective, just long enough to empathize with them and understand their situation.

And then you love them. A lot. Maybe they are a stranger. Maybe you will never meet them in person. Maybe they will end up being your best friend. It doesn't matter. Because they are a fellow human being. And they are walking this same walk through life as you are, even though their path may branch in different ways. And doesn't that alone connect us all?

Imagine the world if everyone sent out love, instead of hate. If we all tried to see the good in each other instead of instantly looking for the bad? And if we could look past the differences and see what we share in common.

I'm proud that I am able to support amazing wonderful mommies every single day. I can't think of a better way to spend my life than this........

Can you image a world without so much hate and more beauty, slow down this week and notice the beautiful people in your world!

Work of the heart is always "paid in full"




Somethings in life are close to your heart, and my work with the non-profit group The Mommies Network is one of those things. I have met some amazing women that I am honored to call friends thru this network. Even though what I do for this non-profit involves long hours, selflessness and of course no monetary pay, I continue to work late into the night at my "no pay job" so my spouse calls it. But is it a "no pay" job?
Not in the least! I am rewarded daily with the knowledge that I have help another mother some how thru a rough time in her life, maybe she is an new mom, new to breast feeding, new to homeschooling, suffering from post postpartum depression or many other possible problems that need encouragement, that I can actually offer support because I have been there at some time in my life also.
Maybe I just made another mom laugh with a blog post, or funny comment posted in a forum or fb page. At the end of my crazy busy day, I go to bed knowing that I have been paid in full.
