Creating my bold, inspiring life

I'm incredibly grateful for the overwhelming FB support I received following my previous post titled, Prenatal Wellbeing. The messages, both public and private, were comforting and at the same saddening. I learned that moms I know are either experiencing or have experienced similar feelings and we all hid in the shadows when instead we could have connected, checked in and been there. We still can.

Now, let's tip the scale toward something incredibly positive in my life. A team of Rockstar Women that has each other's backs in helping create wellness, time and the financial freedom to focus on the most important thing in our lives: Family!!

I kicked off my first entrepreneurial venture in 2007. Pet Love brought together both my love of animals and the business-ambitious lifestyle I wanted to lead.

After Ryker was born and before returning to work at the local newspaper, I was strangled by the thought of having to go back into the office and also about having to produce any form of the written word outside the lines of his baby book.

While the anticipation of that scene was building, I came across a 'momblog' on my FB newsfeed. I read post after post until the old adage hit me: 'Write what you know'. I turned to blogging and filled the blank, white pages with days of my newest venture: Motherhood.

I was fortunate enough to return to the newspaper on a freelance basis, working from home and taking my little sidekick reporter/junior pet sitter along for the ride on the days he wasn't in daycare. It was just the flexibility I wanted. A taste of the freedom lifestyle I continue to create.

Bored to death for the past two years, but hanging onto the graciousness of the flexibility my freelance gig offers, I've been surviving by my drive to work toward the continued growth of Pet Love. I wanted more freedom to enjoy other things I'm truly passionate about in my life. I didn't know that total freedom existed.

Until I became part of the MOMspired network that is building a global tribe of moms supporting moms to live a bold, inspiring life. It releases me from the things that drag me down and motivates me to recognize and attain my lifestyle goals. Partnered with the best quality nutritional supplements, I have the energy to work on a balance within myself that benefits my whole family.

A kind of confidence has grown in me to connect with people that comes with believing in something and wanting to spread that lifestyle opportunity with the people around you. It's the relationships I build through MOMspired and what we stand for that has influenced me to write again about the things that ignite a fire in me and motivates me every day to be my best possible self. Most importantly, its ripple effect offers me the financial freedom to slow down and to delve into more of the things that have meaning for me.

Now, not only am I providing pet parents peace of mind through Pet Love, but providing myself and fellow mommas health and financial peace of mind! It's a beautiful thing!!
