It was at this time I started<br />
drawing again. Something I’d<br />
do when I was a little girl, in<br />
my room with the music on<br />
because it took me to a<br />
magical place of freedom. It<br />
gave me clarity and a chance<br />
to be me…….and now<br />
FREEDOM of a child I felt I<br />
couldn’t parent. I felt<br />
completely isolated, like<br />
friends didn’t understand me,<br />
a husband that didn’t quite get<br />
it (because I was never the<br />
crying type) and most of all I<br />
didn’t get ME. I didn’t want to<br />
talk about it because who on<br />
earth wants to talk to a mother<br />
that doesn’t have her shit<br />
together. Or so I told myself.<br />
I’m wondering if you’ve ever<br />
felt this way?<br />
I started to create.<br />
I found my passion again.<br />
This was my outlet and I threw<br />
myself into it with all of my<br />
might because it was an escape.<br />
It was at this point I realized I<br />
wasn’t passionate about my<br />
MLM/Direct Sales business. I<br />
had never cared about skin<br />
products, although the results<br />
were fabulous. I just didn’t<br />
have the drive or passion for<br />
the product, so how could I sell<br />
something authentically that I<br />
wasn’t passionate about? I’d<br />
started seeing a psychologist<br />
for help dealing with my<br />
emotions and trying to parent<br />
my child... something I’d<br />
questioned about myself as I<br />
felt I’d failed as a parent if I<br />
needed help. And Jessica of<br />
Hopscotch and Harmony<br />
(https://wbsociety.com/listings<br />
/hopscotch-harmony-childfamily-psychology/)<br />
was the<br />
one to give it to me.<br />
She just got me and I can’t thank<br />
her enough. She suggested to me<br />
a mindfulness approach... and<br />
noticed huge change in both<br />
myself as well as my connection<br />
with son and my family. So what<br />
does one do when they are going<br />
through an emotional<br />
breakdown? They found a start<br />
up company!<br />
I’d fast come to realise that my<br />
life wasn’t going the way I<br />
wanted it to, I lacked<br />
inspiration, wasn’t keeping<br />
appointments and was just not<br />
coping. I’d collated all of my<br />
notes, mindfulness tips, my<br />
drawings etc and as I was a<br />
stationery lover I couldn’t find<br />
something that allowed me to<br />
have all of this information in<br />
one place. Nothing help me stay<br />
guided, motivated, grateful and<br />
calm. So My Mindful Year was<br />
created.<br />
"THIS WAS MY<br />
OUTLET AND<br />
I THREW<br />
MYSELF INTO<br />
IT WITH ALL<br />
OF MY MIGHT<br />
BECAUSE IT<br />
WAS ESCAPE"<br />
