And it's a good thing I did,cause I'm feeling the same way (Like a Turtle)! My daughter's personality is definitely a turtle (She is always in her shell during school-afraid to come out of her shell and speak out-but when she comes home she breaks out of her shell to me and becomes a drama queen! Help! Your discussion about slowing down and becoming the turtle is just what the doctor ordered for me! Thanks for your blog, I'm not sure I would stay grounded!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes we forget to give ourselves a break. It's okay to evolve and leave behind the "old" you. It's an opportunity to reevaluate who you are at this stage in your life and shoot for new goals and new definitions. Hugs to you! Oh, go easy on yourself, Jane!

I think at some point we all struggle with this. I love this post and your honesty (one of the main things I enjoy about reading your blog)! Give yourself some time and good things will come your way...slow and steady!!! Sending many hugs, Meg Jane,

Please cut yourself some slack. I bet you've watched turtles swim in the ocean. In their natural habitat, the world they belong in, the world they are meant for, they swim and look pretty cool. Lumpy, and lumbering they may be, but in the ocean they are light and free. Remember that turtles are graceful too. And give yourself the opportunity to regain your balance so that you can swim with grace again. Ah, Jane.

My only advice is: Be gentle with yourself. Having goals and dreams is wonderful, and keeps us alive, but do not be too hard on yourself if you don't accomplish it ALL right NOW!! We need those dreams and goals, to keep us going, to give us something to look forward to. We are all works in progress, or else we wouldn't still be here! Be kind to yourself, acknowledge all the amazing things you ARE accomplishing right now, being a great Mom, a wonderful writer, inspiring so many people, a loving, supportive partner, a good friend, etc.... Acknowledge where you want to go, but keep in mind how far you have come. Slow and steady wins the race girl! Sending you love and light. :) Oh Jane, as you can clearly see from all the comments, we ALL struggle with the same things, CONSTANTLY!! My only advice is: Be gentle with yourself.

Cheer up it will get better and what is wrong with being a turtle anyway? I have been one for awhile now and you know what? It is a lot more fun. Around here if someone asks are you a turtle your response is supposed to be "you bet your sweet a_ _ I am!" There was a time when I wasn't and now that I am older I find, that it was a sad time in my life. So slow down and stop and smell the roses. That is what we are supposed to do, in this life enjoy everything and love everything. If you forget something that is okay. Life gives you what you give and you have given a lot to a lot of people and you are still giving, and you will be getting a lot, more than you will ever know. Stay happy and don't be sad about not being the hare any longer, (they do shed a lot), turtles don't shed they just wiser! Thanks for being there for all of us! Enjoy the boys and all that you have! We enjoy your work so very much! Anita Boy Jane do I ever know how you feel. Cheer up it will get better and what is wrong with being a turtle anyway?
