Let Your Kids See You Happy

They need to see you laugh!

My son tells me often ‘mom, you laugh all the time.’

He’s not wrong…

I really, truly am happy!

It wasn’t always this way. If you’ve read any of my previous work…you know I’ve endured my fair share of mental and emotional abuse.

It took me a long to get here.

I did the work. I read the books. I went to therapy. I learned how to regulate my emotions. I learned how to believe in myself. I got closer to God. I learned how to reparent myself.

It took years.

I wanted to just be happy, so I decided to do the work to just be happy.

I’m at a place now that if something bad happens, I’m prepared, and I can handle it.

I’m at a place now where I know that God has my back and will always make sure I’m taken care of.

So, I CAN laugh all the time.

I CAN be a positive light for my kids and grandson.

I CAN be a good friend and daycare provider.

I CAN be happy!!!

Moral of the story…

Do the work to heal yourself so your kids can see you happy!!!

Thanks for reading!!

Have a Blessed Day!!
