Hey Mama who may believe you're the only lonely mom on the planet.If you're a lonely mom, you're not alone. 51% of moms report feeling lonely. The truth is, you have lots of company. Many moms feel just like you. Before we dig into what you can do about Mom Loneliness, let's explore Why you need mom friends. Your “why” will help you make adjustments in your life. Your why will help you take action steps even when you've got more than enough on your mom plate and might just feel like giving up.  Here are 5 Reasons Why You Need Good Mom Friends1.  The MomLife can feel all consuming. Mom friends can help you feel like you again, like you have an identity beyond being a mom. 2.  When we have a mom friend or two, we have a sense of belonging. 3.  Other moms are a source of knowledge and support – whether we are caring for our firstborn baby or kids who have left the nest.4.  Fellow moms help us get out of our own heads. When we gather, we have an opportunity to air out our thoughts, be honest, vulnerable, and authentic. 5. Mom friends infuse a little fun into our busy lives. And by the way, all the whys above are not only why YOU need mom friends, but why THEY need you too. So How can you make mom friends? Well I suggest you start with a vision for what you want. What do you need?Are you looking for a group? Just one friend you can have coffee with? Do you need some inspiration or motivation, something in common to share with other moms? Take a few minutes to really imagine what you want. Visualize – we can't move toward something we can't see or articulate. Close your eyes for a couple of minutes and imagine a friend scene or two. Who are you with? What are you doing? Are you in a coffee shop? Library? Class? Use your senses – breathe in the atmosphere. Notice the feelings, colors, scenes. When you finish your visualization, write down what you observed.Want to take it one step further? Do a friend vision board. Put together words and pictures digitally that depict what you imagine as your ideal friend situation on Google Jamboard. Print it out and keep it in front of you. Of course, you don't have to do a visualization or vision board in order to make friends. But it is really important for us to know what it is we truly desire so when we fulfill that desire, we know it. Once you've come up with an idea of what you'd like your friendships to look like, it's time to talk about action. What can you actually do to make new friends? Well, here are some ideas. 1.  Look around you - Maybe there's a neighbor, mom at drop-off, fellow churchgoer you see and wave to from time to time that could be a friend. Strike up a conversation. 2.  Check out local community bulletin boards online or in local libraries, churches, schools, gyms. Once you start looking, you'll find there are events and happenings in your community you didn't know about. 3.  Take a class or join a special interest group - running, pickleball, tennis, crafts, painting, writing. Once you're involved, engage. Look for a friendly face and start up a conversation. 4.  Join a Moms In Prayer group (if you're a prayer…or would like to be). This was a life-changer for me. This is a worldwide organization, with groups run locally by mothers who gather once a week for an hour of prayer for their children and schools. 5.  Be the mom you're looking for and start a group of your own. 

Hey Mama who is possibly still knee deep in the messiness of the holidays, but ready for a New Year…Just in case there is any question about it, I want to firmly state here and now I LOVE VISION BOARDS!Along the lines of One Word for the New Year, Vision Boards have been a life-changer for me. This little journey of mine started back in 2011, which I can hardly believe. It started with the discovery of One Word for the New Year. If you'd like to know more about One Word for the New Year, I'll put a link here to my One Word for the New Year worksheet and I'll also include a link to the live One Word for the New Year Instagram workshop I did.In discovering the One Word for the New Year concept I found freedom. Suddenly, I was no longer entrapped by a list of resolutions I knew I wouldn't keep or even keep track of.  Instead, I was inspired by One Word that would guide me like a rudder on my personal journey, or raise my awareness, or help me grow. I remember my first One Word was Now. Some of my subsequent words have been Change, God, Metanoia (that was such a fun one!), and in 2021, my Word was Initiate. My new word for 2022 is FREE.Within a few of years of discovering the One Word concept, I came across Vision Boards. I was hesitant at first. They seemed a little too new-agey and creative for me. Yet I was intrigued. I got myself a piece of posterboard, a stack of magazines, glue sticks, and scissors. I thought about what I wanted more of in my life. How I wanted to improve myself – habits, fitness, finance, faith, marriage, relationships with my kids, family members, friends. And I thought about what I wanted less of – overcommitment, overwhelm, fear, FOMO (fear of missing out), codependency. And I made my first Vision Board. My good husband laminated it for me so I could keep it right on my desk in front of me. It wasn't the prettiest board I've ever seen…But, it was mine and I loved it!!From there my passion grew. My enthusiasm was contagious. I was invited to run workshops for lots of groups – women's ministries, business and entrepreneur groups, college groups, and now I've run my own workshops, including virtually (because of…well…you know). It's been exciting!!Vision Boards are a tool for realizing our dreams.Just like SMART goals – Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Reasonable, and Timely – they are a method of going from where we are to where we want to be. When we map out our Vision Boards - whether digitally through Google Jamboard, Canva, and the like, or with a physical board – powerful things happen. As with so many other approaches to growing and changing, a layer of accountability is a powerful addition that will make a vision board work harder for you. So gather some friends and the necessary materials, and get to making a Vision Board that uniquely reflects you – where you are and where you want to be, your hopes, dreams, and visions. And check in with one another over the next year. Eventbrite Link to 2022 Virtual Vision Board Workshop One Word for the New Year Instagram WorkshopOne Word for the New Year WorksheetHere's to 2022!!Lord, I pray for the Mama listening to this podcast today. The holidays take a lot of work and focus. Would you help her carve out a little time to think about this past year and what she'd like for this next year? Give her a little space to think and hear from you. Remind her of your plans and purposes for her. And bless this Mom and her family with good health and joy throughout this next year. In Jesus' name, Amen.
