Loved this post. SO pleased to read your words: "I am totally and completely awesome." You are, and I know it's a real leap for you to say so. You're right; this post is different from the goals, schedules, and promises that have marked so many of your previous "new beginnings". As a homeschooling mom who knows she's her own most important person too, I'm thrilled at the prospect of your new self-focus. I hope your new attitude reaps wonderful things for you and those you love. Happy anniversary, Shannon! Loved this post.

You are an overachiever in many arenas, and I think you expect to be in EVERY area of life or else you feel like a failure. That's an awful lot of pressure or a Mom of 2 small children. Now that you are a mother, you've seen how things don't always go as planned, in fact, they rarely do. It IS enough to just to be you. With the extra 23 pounds or without. Be gentle with yourself. You ARE enough whether you get everything on your list done today to perfection, or you lay on the couch like a hedonist and eat ice cream and watch sappy movies all day. I, for one, vote for the latter. You deserve it, you've earned it, and damnit, it's time for a break!! You have the love of a man that will never break your heart and 2 beautiful children. Enjoy them and know that YOU made the right choices that got you here. You are already at the top of the mountain. Enjoy the view and don't be in a hurry to race down the other side just yet. Love, Jess Dear Shannon,

That's the spirit, and the truth that so many don't ever admit. You are awesome! And correct that awesome doesn't have to be perfect. Really, that would be too boring! I've been thinking about you, and glad to hear things are going well. Hopefully this independence might leave time for a girl's night again soon! You go girlfriend!

That is why I frequent your blog, because you post real feelings, emotions, ups and downs whereas many home schoolers (myself included)paint only a rosy picture. You've inspired me to be more real in my blogging and I'm with you on the weight loss, only I have 4 times the weight to lose as you do. You go girl!!! :-) Shannon (sorry, btw for writing you as “Sharon” in another post)
