Looking at that title, you may think I’m joking, or trying to make a point by asking that question – but I’m not! I really want to know: how are you today? What is happening in your life?
If you’re reading this and feel like sharing, please leave a little comment. I want to hear it all: comment if your day is boring, or if all you did today was shower, or if you feel like if the walls are caving in … or if it’s the first time you’ve smiled in you don’t know how long.
One of the biggest things I work on with my moms, and one of the best things I have done for myself, is just to write down what is happening. Even the silly details, or the things I would never dare to share with another soul (though there aren’t many of those left – you have my open heart!). There are two big reasons why anyone should do this, and especially anyone who is healing.
First: when you write down what is happening in your life and how you’re feeling, you can start to see the patterns and the rhythms that affect you. You gain clarity and understanding of what is happening. And if something changes, you notice it and can do something about it, if that is your choice.
Secondly: when you start writing your heart on the page, it takes some of the fear of the unknown away. Yes, there may be some things you will always keep to yourself – but many things, once you write them down, don’t seem like the big bad wolf they seemed to be in your mind. Even better, you may find that you’re willing to share your experience with people you trust – or even with me, here on this blog or through my Happy Mommy mentoring program.
So, I have some questions for you! Won’t you please share? You don’t need to post your answer here – but you can always send me a private email. I would love to hear about your day.
Questions For You
- How are you feeling?
- What did you do today?
- Is anything making you worried, guilty or anxious? What is it?

And just so you know what I’m up to today, I’ll share that I’m really looking forward to the weekend – yes, it’s been that kind of week… *wink*
