Back to today’s email 🙂….

I never experienced terror as much as I did that day.

It happened in 2016. Winter Snow Storm Jonas. Philadelphia, PA

The wind was howling and picking up intensity. I could feel the sting of the rain as I waded through 12 inches of snow to get to my car. The weather was fierce with the mix of rain, snow and wind.

I had the bright idea to clean my car: “If I start it now, it would be less later”. 🙄

Bundled in my winter attire (including wearing pajamas), I took out my shovel and snow scraper and got to work. It seemed like whatever progress I made, the storm had other ideas. The snow picked up and dropped faster than the Flash. I barely made a dent in cleaning my car.

I opened the car door to turn on the engine and use the defroster button. I absentmindedly closed the door. When it was time to leave, I pushed the door but it would not open.

I was trapped with the sinking realization that my phone was sitting back in my apartment.

My heart was pounding with fright. My breath quickened and fear coursed through my body. I pounded on the door and screamed for help. No one heard me.

I got more frantic and started crying out of terror. “This is it. This is how I am going to die. No one is going to find me until it is too late.” I wondered if my family would know what happened to me.

Out of desperation, I kicked the door. By the grace of God, the door opened. I turned off the car and bolted out of there. I quickly went back into my apartment, trembling from the experience.

I made tea to warm myself up (and as a way of comfort).

I thanked God that I was able to get out and live another day.

When recounting this story, I thought of some fears you might be facing:

• Fear that you are consumed with your business and it is affecting your life.
• Fear that you are not a good enough mom because you don’t spend enough quality time with your kids
• Fear you are burning out with motherhood and all the hats you wear but have no other options other than to continue.

Fear is a powerful emotion. It keeps us trapped and strengthens the belief that there is no other option but the current one.

Even with fear, there is a glimmer of hope knowing God is my protector during the trials in my life.

I hoped and prayed that I could

→ Get out of my car in the snowstorm.

→ Find a way to make it work with my business while primarily taking care of my son.

I hoped and prayed that God would open doors for me in my business when my business wasn’t taking off.

I hoped and prayed that God would guide my actions towards my son and to help me be a good mom to Logan.

As we speak, hope is turning into reality.

I want this for you too.

To feel fulfilled in your work and providing for your family.

To feel that you are a good mom doing your best with your kiddos.

To find the right harmony for you with motherhood and work.

To wake up to a beautiful sunny morning and start the day with excitement and hope even in December!
