I need to make sure that my kids see a difference in my home than they do at the birth family’s house. So that when they go home they can bring the best things they learned here to their own families. That means a conscious effort at doing things differently than the way I grew up and the way things have happened in our house before.
Each day, I have this moment where I think that what just happened is going to make a lifelong difference in this kid’s life. It’s a surreal experience.
My health coaching program is helping me to be mindful throughout the days/weeks of our overarching goal of a bigger home and financial stability. It’s also helping me identify better personal habits for my own growth.
I’m taking a class for a professional certification this week, then I will start reapplying to jobs. I’m also starting school in a few weeks for a different certification that will further my career as well. I am excited to get going again.
In the meantime, I will do my best to not be overwhelmed and fall into the pit.
