Here’s the thing.

I’m going to get real REAL with you.

If you’re going to have it all.

If you DESIRE to have it all.

 

A rockin business.

Doing what you love.

Changing lives.

Making money.

Influencing others.

Being a badass mamba-jamba.

 

AND…

 

You want a beautiful connection with your children.

Where you have so much fun when you are with them.

You dance.

You talk about feelings.

You are IN the love.

You are spending quality time.

 

And you’re just generally feeling GOOD.

 

Here’s what you have to do.

And I know.

Because this is the thing that I didn’t do this morning and I felt it.

 

All.

Day.

Long.

 

You have to create space for YOURSELF in the morning.

You have to.

There is no excuse for it.

 

YOU.

HAVE.

TO.

 

I don’t care how much time it is.

Sometimes I get up at 4:30 and have 2.5 hours to myself before the kids get up.

Sometimes I get up “late” at 6:15 and do some energy work, some journaling and take a nice shower.

 

It doesn’t matter.

It HAS to happen.

It is a non-negotiable.

 

If you want it all.

YOU. ARE. IMPORTANT.

And you have to create a space for energetic hygiene.

 

Or else you rockin it will NOT be sustainable.

 

Take me for example today.

Stayed up too late last night.

Didn’t want to get out of bed this morning.

Went in and out of sleep from our 4:30 alarm all the way until 6:59.

Not good.

Then rolled out of bed to the kids.

Already in a blah mood.

So their crazy energy didn’t feel good.

 

And the day just followed suit.

Blah energy.

Got in my head.

Didn’t have time for thought work, or energy work, or journaling so I just went.

 

It did NOT feel like a successful Naptime Boss day let me tell you that.

So here is the lesson here.

One that I learned, I keep learning, and I need to pay ATTENTION to the lesson learned and actually take it with me.

 

YOU.

NEED.

MORNING.

SPACE.

 

That is all.

No excuses.

Make the time.

Do what you need to do for YOU.

 

So that you can show up

 

ALL.

IN.

For ALL of your desires.

 

Your business.

Your marriage.

Your children.

Your mental health.

Your POWER.

I wrote this today.

Actually tonight.

After the kids went to bed (although as I write this part – my 3 year old is calmly “yelling” from the kid’s bedroom that he needs me to do Reiki on his knees).

.

.

.

Ok now that I’m back.

Yes I went to do the Reiki.

Yes my other kiddo needed extra kisses and found a sock in her bed… so there’s that.

 

Anyways.

I wrote this tonight.

And I wanted to share as my first post.

 

MISSION: BLOG DAILY

 

Create The Naptime Boss Blog

Every Night I write

Just write

No expectations.

What if I just started to write?

I become a “blogger”.

I write every day.

I don’t worry about perfection or organization or what comes out.

I tell stories.

I give my thoughts and my feelings.

I talk about struggles and triumphs.

What if I just did this?

For me?

For you?

For moms around the world?

For the collective?

 

I started my blog on 11/11/2020.

I started MY movement on 11/11/2020.

 

I commit to writing every day for ONE YEAR.

Every day.

It doesn’t matter how long the post is.

I commit to writing every day for one year.

Whether it’s in the morning.

The night.

At naptime.

While the kids are quarantined in their playroom (shoot… that word doesn’t feel right… because well.. That hits wayyyyy too close to home these days doesn’t it?).

 

WHENEVER.

 

I write.

I tell my story.

I commit to something that I have been wanting to do for a LONG time.

 

Write.

Consistently.

 

Maybe this will become a book.

Maybe it won’t.

 

Maybe this will start a movement.

Maybe it won’t.

 

But I have something to say.

And I want to say it.

I want to YELL it (ok…I won’t yell it – that’s reserved for the kids…I joke… ehhhh maybe not… ok it happens alright?! I’m not perfect!).

 

I want to become a better writer.

I want to become a better storyteller.

I want to BECOME.

Be in the act of becoming every single day.

 

I want to inspire others.

Inspire mommas to follow their hearts.

Follow their dreams.

Do what they love.

BE what they love.

Choose to take CHARGE of their lives.

 

I want to BE.

The messiness.

The perfection.

And everything in between.

 

I choose to be a naptime boss.

And this is my story.
