A Visit from Renewed Reflections

Today we had the honor of having Renewed Reflections visit us as our guest speaker.  She came to discuss self-esteem, relationship, boundary issues, and more.  Mostly she focused on issues that impact moms, which is most pertinent to our group. 

One of the most eye opening parts of the meeting was when she asked one of our members to come up to the front for a demonstration.  She then asked the group to start naming "roles" that we play as moms.  And for each role listed, our mommy volunteer was given a ball to hold.

Well, it did not take long for us to start rattling off "cook, driver, nurse, teacher, maid, etc." Pretty soon, she was overwhelmed and balls were dropping all over the place!

But you know what? That was the whole point! As moms we can not let ourselves think that we can do it all, or else we will end up dropping one of those balls. It would be really awesome to be supermom but the reality is that it just can't happen all the time!
