After reading your article I sat back and realized that I am not being honest with myself or others around me. "NO" is such a simple word but often the hardest to say out loud. Thank you for the article and once again hitting home! I am so blessed to have met you and have you as a friend. Stacy,

Lately I've really had a hard time balancing life with 2 kids while also pursuing other goals. Your honesty in saying that having 2 children is much harder than 1 gave me the grace to allow myself to slow down, savor this time, and put the other goals on hold for now. Thanks, friend!

Thank you for inspiring me to toss the mask and be myself every day, every situation. You rock, girl! Stacy,

Your article was so inspiring because this is what we need as moms - to know we are not the only ones struggling. Instead of putting on the 'mask', we would help each other so much more by saying "nope - I don't have it all together and somedays I don't want to do this at all!" A pastor said something to me today that really hit home for me - (I'm paraphrasing) 'burdened souls don't need saints to lift them up, they need other burdened souls'. This is SO true for moms! You are a total blessing to me as a friend - thanks for inspiring me ALL the time! Thanks Stacy for connecting me to this site!

I try so hard to hold all the pieces of my life together without anyone seeing my fears and frustrations. I would much rather have people think that I have it all together and am living life freely without struggle. Sometimes it feels like it would be aweful to have people see me as weak or incapable when in fact I am just human! I do realize that I need to let down my guard and let others in and let them help if I need it. Thanks for encouraging words, I think it is something that we all need to work on.
