So, I have been subscribing to Jill Savage's blog, www.hearts-at-home.org. I knew she was writing a new book called "No More Perfect Moms," and I was totally interested in it. You see, I sometimes lean towards being a perfectionist. Fortunately, I married a man who is the opposite, and over our almost 22 years together, I have become more like him, as he has become more like me. But where being a mother is concerned, it's tough.If we are honest, all of us mothers wish we were perfect. We wish we had a hot dinner on the table every night, all of the laundry was totally done all the time, our house smelled like chocolate chip cookies everyday, and there were no fights... or yelling. But that isn't reality!
Back to my story... After writing a response to one of Jill's blog posts, she asked if they could use it for the website, and I was very honored. Then, I found out they were choosing a launch team for the book, "No More Perfect Moms," and I really wanted to do it. I filled out the application, and I was chosen! Talk about a blessing!
Those of us on the launch team have the opportunity to read it now, and let me tell you, it's fantastic. It has made me look at myself in a different way so far, and I'm only half-way finished with it!
If you find yourself trying to be perfect, wishing you were perfect, or trying to make things perfect, I would suggest reading this book when it comes out in bookstores. You can find out lots of information on Jill's website, again, www.hearts-at-home.org. There you can sign up for the e-newsletter, find out about the No More Perfect Moms 2013 National Conference, and get great encouragement for your life.
I'll be writing about my experience with reading this book, so stay tuned!
