Sunday breakfast

For many months now, I have been hosting Sunday breakfast at our home. We purchased & are renovating my Grandmother's home in hopes of hosting a social "club" for grieving families. Sunday breakfast is my version of practice. There is still work to be done on the house (especially the first floor) & it is a metaphor for the work that is to be done in the journey of grief for families as well.

This morning we enjoyed oven pancakes & waffles with a side of donuts, fruit & bacon. I thoroughly enjoy cooking. I just wish I had the same motivation for other endeavours...like schedules.

I am a terrible planner. I have a gazillion ideas & no real way of getting it done! It's a terrible life to live. But...it is also a wonderful way to live. I have always been a mess. My father actually calls me "Erin the Mess". If I have a drink, I spill it. If I do laundry, it ends up on the floor. If I have an idea, it gets moved to the back burner.

In many thanks to my children, I have come to live in the moment. I enjoy each moment, reflect on each moment & look forward to whatever life brings my way. My life has not been & never will be easy. We are a grieving family. We lived second by second through cancer battles with 2 of our children. Their legacy to us is a life full of kisses & hugs, last minute plans & living in the moment. It's a battle to live in the moment & to also keep the spinning & spiraling feeling at bay.

So...Sunday breakfast is an idea that I have kept up with. Keeping a schedule, if it is only for Sunday, is a goal of mine. In order to acheive a goal, I have to make it heard. So here it is. A blog. A blog of the accomplishments I make - great or small. The Momma Motivator!

This will be a different approach for me. No more announcing ideas, just showing off the finished product. My heart is racing right now at the thought of failing. I am great at creating ideas, but not so much at following through. I am putting myself on the line right now (even if it is just to me!). I want to slow down the spinning & add some more beauty to our home. Momma Motivator, do your magic.
