Capturing a free spirit

As a woman holding on to her twenties, a mother of two, a wife, working full time and trying to find my place, I find myself trying to make time… time I just don’t have. It is a balancing act between getting to be my true self (which I lose frequently) and being all these other things that I dearly love.

More often than not, I feel these urges surge through my body; almost a combustion feeling… it is my creative spirit trying to free itself. I feel like if freed it would be like Ferris Bueller singing on the parade float, an epic release, euphoria, a rebellion against myself.  Francis Picabia said “A free spirit takes liberties even with liberty itself.”   I certainly believe this!!! My spirit reminds me with who I really am and at moments it will not be suppressed... unless I use the ‘force’.

After teenage years or ‘the good ol days’ you kind of lose who you are, even though you haven’t seemed to find yourself yet.  I guess life is a process of reinventing yourself every few years, with new experiences and circumstances you adapt evolve. But, I still feel those pesky teenage years hold something valuable.  I think the freedom (and the free time) of those years is what people hold on to. Now, the question is how you recapture that while holding down the fort!?! I haven’t found this balance yet, but it certainly is my mission. It’s time for this free spirit to fly! Hopefully by showing my girlies what this Momma can do, they will be inspired and free spirited individuals!
