Life Book 2015 – Art journaling is for everyone

January 2, 2015 By Christine Field

This post may contain affiliate links.

Maybe it's because I'm a lawyer, but I'm kind of a linear person.  Funny.  Linear, but spacey. I think in words, I talk in words, I write in words, I dream in words. Sometimes they can get stale.  Then I take a walk, take out my tin whistle and ...

Are you art journaling yet?

December 21, 2013 By Christine Field

I live so much in my left brain, logical, linear brain. I know I have an artistic side, but I don't spend much time there since becoming an adult. I was thinking about how to access that creative side to make my writing more creative. The ...

Hi, I’m Christine

Have you been a wholehearted mother, but time, toddlers and teenagers have moved on? If you are wondering what comes next for you, you’ll feel right at home here.

Or, are you a mom for whom family life has been non-Pinworthy and parenting has been downright painful? I hear ya. There are many of us around.

Are you looking for a life full of exploration and adventure after the nest empties, but maybe you have no idea how to go about doing that? Stick around! We’ll explore adventures together to help you gain more clarity for your own path.

After a couple decades of writing books and articles about parenting, homeschooling and adoption, speaking to homeschoolers and other parent groups, and reaching out to the mom in the trenches who was trying to make the best of it - my kids grew up. Some grew up and grew away. I was determined to find a way out of the pain, emptiness and lack of direction.

For many of us, the journey starts with something we moms are not accustomed to. After years of caring for and serving others, sometimes we forget the beauty and wonder of US. We need to spend some time getting to know the parts of ourselves that have lain dormant, and take the time to explore interests and passions that we set aside.

I’d like to invite you to get the “What’s Next for Mom” workbook and jump into this growing tribe of Moms who are emptying the nest and filling the life! Let’s reignite your Mojo after Mothering!
