"Be who you are and be that well."

- Saint Francis de Sales

One of the best parts of blogging is discovering all the cool widgets you can use to tweak your blog. Some you stumble on other's blogs; some you go searching for yourself.

So it was a nice little surprise to see this quote as today's "Food for Thought" - my latest widget on the left sidebar.

Saint Francis de Sales left a life of wealth, power, and status to follow God; how many of us could do the same?

*************************

Who are you?

You probably answer to many names: Mommy, Wife, Daughter, Sister, Friend, Worker, Boss, Volunteer, Citizen - truly, the list is endless for us Modern Mommies.

But again, I have to ask, who are you?

You - the you without a TO DO list, without The Schedule, without the layers of responsibilities and accountabilities.

Strip it all away. Lay down for one moment those burdens that are hidden blessings and blessings that sometimes burden. Take a deep breath.

Now - remember.

Then give yourself permission to just be that happy soul.

And be it well.
