Thanks for a wonderful month of challenges. I enjoyed every one. My word count is 154. I didn't even realize until I went to post in my thread, but I used the exact same kit for the first challenge!

 
Connecting basically means crafting! :agree I have 131 words on here:

This challenge got me really thinking about the ways that I connect with myself. I have been thinking about it all day and you know what? I don’t have an answer to that. Why? I guess it’s because my entire life I have been taking care of someone else, or I was a child. I realized that now is my time, and I need to connect with myself; to find out who I am apart from being a homeschooling Mom. I need to find out what heals my soul, fills my time, and touches my heart. So thats how I WILL connect.

To recharge and renew, I need to be left anole to do whatever it is I need to do. Very often, it is the mundane tasks that bring me peace – cleaning the kitchen reminds me that this is my home, while loading the dishwasher helps me remember I am not alone and that I have a family that I chose to build. I rarely feel the need to get away from it all, perhaps because I spend a lot of time on my own. I love ticking items off my to-do list because it fills me with a sense of purpose. I love reading parenting books because it helps me put things in perspective. I love scrapping our family life because it allows me to relive those moments I thought were worth documenting at the time. And I love browsing recipe blogs because variety is the spice of life. In other words, to renew and recharge I need a little refresher from that quiet voice inside my head that I am living the life I chose and I should trust myself to have made the right choice.
