Is Overwhelm Running the Show?
“You seem overwhelmed.”
Shocked, and a little taken aback, that’s how I felt when the man next to me mentioned that I looked overwhelmed. Me? Couldn’t be. Yes, I was juggling a full-time writing career, the homeschooling of three boys (plus all of the other requirements listed in the job description), and caring for aging parents, but overwhelmed, surely not!
I have always been a natural, glass actually completely full (because what isn’t liquid is air) kind of gal. And then a tornado fell on our house . . . with us in it . . . and it left our lives in disarray and my heart doing all it could to hold on to hope.
So you ever feel like life has crushed your hope?
“I have to focus,” I told the mirror as I tried to encourage myself to find a way to make it through. Even the #WhiteBoardofWorldDomination struggled to keep up with the constantly shifting tides. About the time I would fine my way, something else would happen and I’d have to adjust.

I struggled to be encouraging for my family. I struggled to keep believing. I struggled to get it all together. I struggled some mornings just to get started.
Have you ever been there?
I had lost ME in the struggle. But as I started finding ME again, I began to discover my glass completely full mentality again. Once I found me again, I recaptured the flexibility that had allowed me to handle homeschooling three boys while building a full-time writing career.
In other words, finding my way was tied to finding me.
