The Snuggle Is Real

      Ohhh the snuggle is SO REAL!! All week I have been riddled with anxiety at the thought of having to go back to work and school next month and placing June in a daycare. I always told everyone I could never be a stay at home mom, but now that I am faced with that reality I am terrified. So I changed the conversation in my head from impossible to possible!

      I believe in the power of words and thinking. As much as we may say we want something, it is so hard to not listen to that little voice in the back of your head that is telling you the list of reasons of why it can't happen. 

      I want to be a stay at home mom. I want to raise my daughter. I want to be there for all of her firsts. 

      Little voice.... "But you can't afford it, you're going to be in so much debt she will never have a good life." 

      It never ends.

      So I decided I wouldn't listen to it. I am going to do everything in my power to make this happen. I don't want my child being raised in daycare. I know she would be fine, but I wouldn't. This is such a crucial time for our bond and for her development and I can't bare the thought of missing it. 

      So I started brainstorming. It seems like the stay at home moms who bring in a sufficient income are doing it through blogging, etsy stores or MLM businesses. These are all great, but they take time. I love to write and love the blogging world, but I'm new to it. It's going to take time for me to create a solid amount of followers and that's OK. I am terrible with networking, so MLM isn't for me. I know how to sew! I'm an amateur but making baby clothes is definitely an option. 

      Once I created a new commitment and changed the conversation, I was presented with opportunities. June and I got a call for an audition for Pampers and now we are on avail! The funny thing about this gig, is that the day they want us for the shoot is August 16.... the ten year anniversary of my Dad's passing. Coincidence? I think not! 

      It was so obvious to me that my Dad was working with the Universe and God to make what would have been a really hard day, something fun and memorable. It's even more obvious that when I say I want something and am committed to doing whatever it takes to get it, the Universe provides! I'm not here to preach my beliefs on anyone, but this is my blog so I will talk about what I know. And what I know, is that there is so much power to your words. 

      I am putting my words in writing! This is concrete evidence of the reality I am about to create! Here it is...

      I, Megan Vint, am committed to being a stay at home mom. I will do anything and everything to raise my daughter while finishing my degree and bringing in an income. I will provide her with all of the necessities and give her the life that she deserves and part of that means being there in her first years. I am open to possibilities for income that nurture this commitment and will be of service to anyone I can help along the way.
