Getting My Groove Back

Hello mothers,

How many of you feel that being a mother has numb you from being a woman? The Webster's dictionary of "numb" is; "Lacking the power to feel or move normally.":) These last couple of years I have put so much time and energy into trying to raise well rounded kids. The kind of kids that respect adults, that have confidence in themselves, that won't settle for average but strive for greatness, the kind of kids that you can take out in public and know people aren't saying.."she needs to leave them at home" :) I feel as though(some of you may agree)it takes a lot of time and energy to instill those qualities into our children. It's hard enough being a woman and maintaining our glorious image:)..its even harder when you have others lives to mold and shape. I recently made a major decision to improve the lives of my children and myself..I moved 1500 miles to a new beginning. I'm starting over in hopes of improving my financial situation and give my kids the one thing they have lacked and that is financial security. I have sacrified my life as a woman for the betterment of the lives of my kids...now its time to focus on what I love to do..and I have know idea what that is:)..I lost it some time ago...now that I've been a mother for 16 years it is easier to handle the dynamics of child rearing. I've been married twice and still married (on paper) to one but considering the type of fathers' they've been I have always been a single mother:) Now that I've moved to the great state of Texas I want my "groove back" I'm not looking for a man..but the "groove" that all of us woman have to complish great things, the groove to tap into my inner space and find the things that makes me who I am and turn it into a career or business...I need help mothers..please share your experiences with me on how to balance being a mother and staying a woman. Thanks for reading..stay strong.
