Permission to Love YOU

   Good morning my loves. I miss writing and sharing sooo bad. Life with 4 kids is a whole different ball game. Not complaining at all, We are super blessed to have our newest soldier and the other privates. 
   Its a cold morning in Germantown MD, (my part of the world) this morning and I am getting ready to figure out if it will be a cereal kind of morning or full out breakfast at my home. But before breakfast and my sure ability to rant, I will like to share a little bit of what life is like so far with 4 young children. Each child in my house is a complete individual. They are as different from each as you can imagine. They have completely different ideas, coping skills, hobbies and temperament. I have 4 different nations and sometimes there can be war, haha to say the least. The one true nature and character trait that they do share is great self confidence. We insist on Loving YOU and making the best of every situation in my home. With great self confidence you have great self esteem and that eliminates a ton of issues that we are facing in todays world.

"My team"

    Anyhow  all this brings me to my mamipikins. Why are we not able to Love ourselves enough? we can Love everybody around us deeply but constantly need permission to love the Woman in us? We are able to smile and give compliments to everyone around us but still need permission to Love our own flaws and all.

   YOU need to LOVE YOU. Some women wont love themselves because they are waiting to be a certain size, color, shape, and more. We are waiting for the man of our dreams to Love us then we can start Loving us too. We are waiting to be 3 shades lighter then we can Love ourselves. We are waiting to get back to our Pre-pregnancy or baby weight then we can celebrate and Love ourselves. We are waiting to buy a new home or move to a new neighborhood then we can start loving ourselves. We have an endless lists of "wants" that have to be accomplished before we love the woman in us. Some how we have decided that until we check off each item on a mysterious list created by society on what a good  woman or accomplished woman is we wont love ourselves. A woman who Loves herself is a successful Woman, a fearless leader, a phenomenal woman. A woman who Loves herself has freed her mind from the burden of hoping,wanting and even needing anyone else to accept all of her.

  Let nomamipikin be left behind because they are waiting for permission from society to Love themselves. Love the woman in You! Love the mother in You. Be fearless and Bold.
