How I Live My Dreams Everyday {Ludavia}

I really had to think how I’m chasing my dreams as a mom.

At first, I had to think, “what are my dreams?” It was difficult to get a clear list of them. But, I thought back to pre-kids. What were my dreams and passions? I really loved creating things and singing and writing. I thought that all stopped the time I became a mom 4 years ago. It didn’t. It just looks different now.

If we’re baseing chasing dreams on a career and what we get paid, then, my chasing dreams stopped at motherhood. But who said, we have to get paid money to achieve a dream?

I sing to my kids everyday. I create things with them. I write. I do all the things, I wanted to do pre-kids now. It just looks different. It’s full of laughter and smiles. It’s silly and fun. And that is the best payment of all. Chasing dreams isn’t a one-size-fits-all definition. If it were, a lot of us would be disappointed and give up.

So, I’m creating my own definition.

I have achieved my dreams. I get to live my dreams everyday. I get to wake up and decide to sing to an audience (of two, but it’s an audience). I get to use my creativity and create fun crafts and activities for me and my kids to do. I get to write and share it with everyone. It’s amazing. I get to use the unique talents I was given and share them.

So, yes, I am a mom and I chase dreams. I show my kids daily that mama has passion and drive and I chase it. I show them that it’s awesome to know what you love to do and do it. My prayer is that it will motivate them to chase their dreams and achieve them. I have an amazing purpose. I was given certain talents. And I get to share them with the most important people in my life to inspire them.  I hope you use your talents to inspire the important people in your life too!

Let’s chase our dreams, Mama!

You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love that you so freely give to your family. It’s not just about holding space for them; it’s about holding space for you, too.

You don’t have to shrink yourself to make room for others.

You deserve to take up space too.
Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive becom Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive become the hardest to unlearn. Those patterns once kept you safe, but now you’re learning they don’t need to anymore. 

Give yourself grace—you’re unlearning survival. Healing takes time, and with each layer you peel back, you’re discovering the person you’ve always been beneath the survival.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ll really learn to love her. ❤️
✨ NEW SEASON ✨ I’m not a big fan of change. ✨ NEW SEASON ✨

I’m not a big fan of change. My nervous system gets all panicky and tends to over research every possibility that could take place. It likes to tell me safety is in the details. 

But I know that’s not true.

This year has been a big year of growth for me in this department. Trauma told me control was my safety, but the truth was all I ever had was a false sense of control. 

This year has offered plenty of opportunities for me to say, “Okay God, you have my yes, wherever that leads.”

No over research. No over analyzing. No predicting every possibility. No trying to control the outcome.

Just a heart that says, “Yes.” 

Even when I don’t understand. Even when I’m nervous how it will turn out. Even when it feels like right now isn’t bad. Even when my heart’s confused. 

Even when….

God has been asking us both a lot lately, “Do I have your yes, no matter what that looks like?” Friday was the end of a season for Chad working at the Appliance Guys, and today starts a new season of a new company. It was NOT an easy decision, and it came with a lot of tears (mainly from me - are you surprised?). His boss, where he’s been for the last almost six years, has been an incredible support for our family as we walked through some of the hardest seasons of our family. They will always hold a special place in our heart.

But God said “it’s time” and my faith-filled husband said “Yes.” I have to admit, I don’t envy how hard this decision was for him. It affects us both, yes. But he had to walk it out. And I’m so grateful for His leadership and faith to Jesus to step into the next season when there are so many unknowns.

Sometimes, all God wants to know is does He have our “YES” no matter what that means. No matter what that changes. 

May I live my life in a way that has an open heart to hear from God and a willingness to say “YES” even when….

(PS he was so thrilled I made him take this photo. 😂 But I know this season will be one we forever ever want to remember, because God always shows His faithfulness).
I wonder if they would have chosen life for her. I wonder if they would have chosen life for her.

I wonder if they would have seen what was growing inside of her, and the fight that was about to come on the other side, if they would have said her life was worth saving.

I wonder if they would have discounted her before she had a chance. 

I wonder if they would have made a prediction about her quality of life and deemed her not worth the cost.

I wonder if they would have saw the life saving measures she would need and decided that it was worse to let her live.

I wonder if they would have saw everything that could go wrong, the bleak prognosis, and compared her to statistics. 

I wonder if they would have made a choice to encourage a decision that robbed us all of the miracle we see today.

Whether 48 hours or 4 years - her life has changed mine for the better. It’s heartbreaking to think someone may have once told me she wasn’t worth it.
