Have you ever felt like you’ve lost a bit of yourself in life?
Well…I definitely have!! I know how it feels!
I felt like I had lost a part of myself to our many overwhelming life situations. Through all the good and the bad stuff, a part of me felt like it was missing or deeply hidden beneath all the junk in my trunk. And...my trunk was full and heavy.
We had so much going on in our lives, just like soo many families these days.
Our children’s regular activities and going many different directions all at once,
My loves declining health issues (which turned our life upside down),
then my love getting medically retired from his job (possibly us losing our home & our family’s livelihood), the new “fight” with the VA & SSI Disability over benefits,
choosing my love, our vows, and our family over everything else: every single day, in every single situation, every single moment. . .
Our Life, and me included, felt like we jumped on THE HOT MESS EXPRESS!!!
As many of you have experienced yourselves, life has not always been a smooth & easy adventure for sure. Since 2014, life has been very overwhelming. The constant go-go-go, the feelings of being pulled in many different directions at the same time, they all left me feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and unable to fully function.
These feelings of being overwhelmed turned me into a cranky, crabby, sad, some days-angry at the world, emotionally sobbing mess. These feelings turned into added stress, anxiety, and worry. Everything that I had tried could not lift these overwhelmed feelings from me. I showed the world that “everything was fine,” however I was having a hard time keeping my head above water (And honestly, I know how to swim very well!).
Then, I was re-introduced to something. It was something that I truly did not realize I needed, as bad as I needed it, and when I needed it.
Like most moms/spouses, I was always focusing on my family’s needs first, everything else got put on my “back burner.” As soon as I started using it, I started to feel better. There was a sense of calm that would come over me when it was applied. The options that were now available to me and my family have been amazing. That is when I truly realized my journey on the Hot Mess Express was changing course.
I truly have found HOPE through these past 2 years. I felt like there was a light at the end of the tunnel, in our life. So, now I am reaching out to others and want to share and serve as best I can. The blessings that have come through the community, love, and support are priceless.
I want to help you find HOPE in your journey as well. Come Join My FB group or Contact me today.
Much love & Blessings!!
