December 5 – Let Go. What (or whom) did you let go of this year? Why? (Author: Alice Bradley)
I let go the pressure that I often feel in my community to be the perfect mom.
I remember feeling like I had to be like the other moms for anyone to really like me or identify with me. I tried to conform to what "they" appeared to want but you know, no matter what I would have done, nothing would have won me the friendships and appreciation of these women. Wanna know why? I wasn't born or raised in Danville or in California for that matter. I'm not skinny. I'm ethnic. I have very ethnic features and I have an opinion that differs from the majority of people in this town. So instead of trying hard to fit into a community that would never really accept me, I found my own group of women in Danville that I can relate to and I am so much happier!
