Beautiful women & the chorus of crickets

I meet a lot of people. Every week someone asks me why I do not blog more about my true passion…encouraging women.

While on a trip with Van Houtte Coffee in Old Montreal this past week, I was asked the question AGAIN. I decided at that moment I would blog about it.

(Beautiful ladies pictured above are: Me: @MommyMomentBlog, Mijune: @FollowMeFoodie, Jeanette: @KickPleat, Tanis: @RedneckMommy & Karen: @Tinybites).

I have found my “encouraging” voice when talking with people in real life and have also found a way to encourage women on Twitter and Facebook, yet when it comes to encouraging women here on my blog,

I FAIL.

I have tried to find the right fit here by writing Mission Beautiful posts, but I feel that connection piece is missing. When someone reads what I write I want them to know that it is heartfelt and real. I want every woman who reads Mommy Moment to know that they are incredible and beautiful women. I want them to know how special they really are…

Ok, don’t fall asleep here.

I mean it.

Instead of giving up, I decided to try again. I want my blog to be a place that YOU can come at any moment and know that you are welcome here. When my blog loads, I want you to instantly feel that you have come to a place where you are welcome just how you are. I want you to know that you are beautiful, amazing and although not perfect, you are accepted.

I bet every woman reading this now could easily list many things they do not love about themselves. Yet if I asked them to list what they loved about themselves I have a feeling the crickets would be taking over.

I really want to challenge each of you to leave a comment here telling me some things that you like about yourself. Yes, I realize that I am opening myself up to the chorus of crickets, but it doesn’t matter. I am willing to take that chance.

It has taken me the last 7 years to finally believe that I am a beautiful and incredible woman. My hope is that I can encourage you to take the road of positive self talk and help you realize how incredible you are. I am not promising that every day will be easy, I am telling you that I am here for you cheering you along!

If you really are not able to tell me things that you like about yourself, take time to leave me a comment about the struggles you do face. It is hard when we do not have a place to be open and share.

Be sure to pop by the Mommy Moment Facebook Page every morning with your cup of java for a moment to connect with other women!
