“In acting out, I was screaming when I could not voice my pain.”⁣
⁣
Big Red Book of Adult Children of Alcoholics p. 503⁣
⁣
I have acted out in so many ways throughout my life – drinking, drugs, food, toxic relationships and dependencies, and the list goes on. Yes, my behavior has definitely been hurtful to those around me, but the one I have harmed the most has been myself.⁣
⁣
Recently, I have become so much more aware of the ways that I self-harm and just how much I do it. Self-sabotage has been a word in the forefront of my mind for a few months as my eyes have been opened to just how I much I do this to myself.⁣

Got this picture from my mom this morning. It was from 9 years ago today. My Cal Boy was almost 10 months old. That face always makes me smile, take a breath and savor the warmness inside that I feel. I’m doing it right now!! Even at almost 10 years old, he still likes a squeeze and a cuddle from mom. This kid........ #speechlessmoment #boymomlife #boymom💙 #boymom #3rdchild #blessedmother #blessedmama #babypictures #babysmiles #babysmile

Twinsies? Recently I posted some pics of my girls and got an overwhelming response. I got so into it and searched up some old photos and did a blog post about resemblance between them and me and my mom and I. Check out the blog to read more and see lots more pics.

I tease these girls all the time about the time and energy they put into getting the “perfect picture”. The pictures taken, the pictures deleted, the filters, the edits, the repositioning, the posting, it’s endless. But I gotta hand it to them, they take absolutely gorgeous pictures which I love to admire because these are two of the most amazing girls I know. I am such a proud mama of these two. Who would have known that an hour earlier one was “never going to talk to the other again”. #sistersforever #sisterlove #sisters❤️ #proudmama #proudmama❤️ #mygirls💕 #mygirls #perfectpicture #perfectpic #onthewater #boatinglife

This queen had so much fun making cupcakes with kaileysqueens today. Even though the dog got all but three of them, she enjoyed them with her sister and her friend. #kaileysqueensbakingclub is always a fun time. Thanks #kaileysqueens for great experiences with so many #littlequeens.

Even when it’s a tough place to be. All we have

Even when it’s a tough place to be. All we have is this present moment. That is where God is. That is where we can connect with our true selves and have authentic intimacy with others. Right here, right now. It’s all we have. This is how we can really be alive and awake to life. #holestowhole #beherenow #claritycatalyst #clarity #presentmoment #untetheredsoul #recoverywarrior #bestill #beopen #heal

Children are not born racist and prejudice, it is

Children are not born racist and prejudice, it is learned. Growing up, my mom wanted my brother and I to have a more diverse experience than simply the community that we lived in. We bussed almost an hour each way to school. I went to an elementary school where I, a white girl, was the “minority”. It was an amazing experience, I absolutely loved it! When I was seven or eight years old my cousin was born. My first question to my mom was “what is it?”. My mom said “it’s a girl!” I was confused and frustrated because she hadn’t answered my question. I followed up with “no, is the baby black or white?” It’s easy to be in denial about what happens around our world when it’s not happening directly to us. I want to be a mom who strives to protect the whole state that my children were born in and teach them to protect it for themselves. God, please help me to teach my children to guard their hearts and minds from the pollution trying to imprison them. Maybe stick to and remain true to the unconditional love and acceptance that they were born with. #parentinglife #mamabear #untamed #theuntamed #uncaged #alllivesmatter #racisminamerica #racism #racismisreal #prejudice #childlikefaith #loveistheanswer
