Moving Forward

It's been a while.  I can't really explain why except to say that I lost my mojo.  I could blame it on being too busy but there have been times I have sat down here and nothing would come out.  My drive was lost and for a time I thought I was done. 

But, I think what happened is that I no longer fit into the traditional "Mommy Blog" category.  There is so much more than that in my life, and although being a Mom is the most important part, by the end of the day I would like to take the extra time to cultivate the other parts.  To keep my sanity.  

So, what I have decided is to move forward with Stinky John Jones.  To evolve as our life moves forward.  To grow and embrace these other aspects that go along with being a Mommy while still keeping a piece of who I am as a person. 

Let's just say.....having kids is wonderful and fulfilling and a huge part of my life that I love to pieces.....but I have realized that they can't be my entire life.  I am coming out and saying, "I am a Mom, but that isn't all I am!" 

Wanna join me?  Even if it's just for one day.....turn your Mommy Blog into something more!  Post about yourself.  What you enjoy.  Your passions and hopes and wishes.  Be selfish!  And then come back and link to your post!

It takes all sorts to make a world

I totally agree! I started mine as a mommy blog but then realized that I have more to talk about than just my munchkin! Hence the lame post on my mantle re-do! More to come!

Lora is right. You won't regret it one bit. Woohoo for liberation!

I did the same thing on my blog a few years ago, and it was the most liberating thing I've ever done for myself as a mother and a woman. I learned so much about myself, my family, my friends, and life.

Do it. You won't regret it. It's scary and wonderful.
