Last weekend, I had the privilege to attend Mom 2.0 Summit, right here in Houston. As I mentioned before, it was difficult juggling the family at home and driving 20 minutes each day (sometimes twice) to focus and breath in everything. There are amazing women, amazing speakers, amazing bloggers, amazing companies, and amazing creative encouragement.

The thing is.

Here's the thing.

Before this weekend, I was feeling really discouraged. My Grandfather passed away, my laptop died, bills were piling up, and I struggled to get out of bed, much less blog, wash dishes, or play with my children. Don't get me wrong, I did all of them, but didn't feel I was putting all of ME into it.

I prayed. A lot.

I've got to say, these feelings only pop up "Sometimes".

Sometimes, I'm scared to write what I really want to write.

Sometimes, I'm scared to try different things.

Sometimes, I can't get the words out that I REALLY want to say to the ones I love.. and the ones I don't.

Sometimes, I don't want to try.

Sometimes, I even wonder if I'm worth it.. as a mother.. as a wife.. as a writer.. as a blogger.. as a woman who wants to make a difference in this ever-changing world around me.

Sometimes, there's an event that puts me in front of encouraging voices and women of strength. It's an event that gives me permission to dream... and dream big. That event was Mom 2.0 Summit and Matt Brouwer sums up all the feelings I had last week, up till now.

Album: Where's Our Revolution

Sometimes I'm afraid of what I might not get to say Sometimes I believe that everything is what it seems And we're just too scared to try Do we have what it takes when hope and clarity melt away To rise above our mistakes If we don't know any other way And we're just too scared to try

When it feels like there is nothing left It feels like this is as good as it gets It feels that way sometimes So let's take a second and catch our breath And realize this isn't over yet It just feels that way sometimes

Sometimes there can be so much more beyond what we see Sometimes I'm amazed how we see the world in different ways And were just too scared to try

When it feels like there is nothing left It feels like this is as good as it gets It feels that way sometimes So let's take a second and catch our breath And realize this isn't over yet It just feels that way sometimes
