Raising Three Savvy Ladies

My Meaning Of Life Inspired by Kelly Clarkson

This is a sponsored post that I am participating in as part of the Mom It Forward Influencer Network.  As a Kelly Clarkson fan, I am happy to share my thoughts on the album and how it resonates with me. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

“Sometimes, I need a minute just for me.”  As I listened, I was like YES!  This song is talking to me.  I need to unwind and take a deep breath.  How about you?

Listening to  Kelly Clarkson’s Meaning of Life album, I must say the this inspirational soul is what I need right now.  Who’s with me?  Calling all the hard working moms and dad.  Right before the amazing feeling of the holidays, I feel completely overwhelmed.  Work, school and life.  I know I am not alone in feeling this way.

If you are like me,  I know you want some me time too.  The picture above does not reflect the actual time that I have to devote the myself.  That picture was taken while I was away at my cousin’s wedding in Vermont.  My kids were taken care of and we had time before the wedding to take a dip in the pool.

Since this cannot happen, just a minute for me is what I will take during the regular work week.  It did not take long for the lyrics to stay in my head.  And now, I am humming along in the car and throughout the day.

Take a listen to the lyrics.  Although this album is newly released,  it brings me back to the classic soul sung by my favorite artists.  I want to see Kelly on stage with Aretha and the artists of En Vogue.

 

 

 

In those moments where it feels really challenging, it helps to think about what your meaning of life is.  For me, that was a simple task.  Although the day-to-day business can be exhausting, it is my girls who inspire me and give me the strength I need.

They are my meaning of life and everything I do is for them.  Through good times and bad, we are a family and I want them to know that I am always there for them.

When life gets crazy,  it’s best to to have a good laugh and and know that they are always there for you as I am for them.  See the woman in the background.  That’s my mom and she will always be a part of my meaning of life.  To me, the meaning of life is love and happiness and the people in this photo are my true happiness.

Singing in the car is one of our favorite past times.  When we received the download, we began to sing the songs together just like we did with Kelly Clarkson’s other hits like “Piece by Piece”  and “Heartbeat Song”.

 

 

Kelly Clarkson’s new album: Meaning of Life  really shows us what a strong soulful voice she has.  Deep is definitely a word that comes to mind.  

How do I get through it all?  Confidence, strength, love and support guide me throughout the day.  Songs like “Whole Lotta Woman” empower me.  “From the way I walk and toss my hips”.  As I type this, I feel my body wanting to get up and dance.

I hope this post gave you the inspiration needed to check out Kelly Clarkson’s new album: Meaning of Life.

    I really like and enjoy Kelly Clarkson . She was on a show recently and sang this song and it was beautiful. I think I like Kelly Clarkson because she doesnt fit the image of a super star but seems like a normal person.

    I’ve always been a fan of Kelly Clarkson. The first season of American Idol is the only season I actually watched. Her songs are always so inspirational, and I love how authentic her music is. I haven’t listened to this new album yet, but I’ll be giving it a listen soon.

So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macy So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macys and Santa! Last night, we took the train into the city to preview #Macys #Santaland I have to say it was quite magical. Although my youngest was 12, Santa was able to connect to her and put us all in the holiday spirit. 

I believe. I believe….

My mom also came with us. We started talking and I think it was almost 40 years ago that she took us to visit Santa at Macys. I was so happy to visit Santa with her and my youngest for a three generation experience.

Don’t forget to check out the beautiful window displays as you enjoy all of #NYC during the holidays!

#ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but #ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness and disorders today. 

Let’s reduce the stigma by opening up the conversation in the classroom and at home.
As a teacher and a mom of 3, I know how important it is to be there and be a good listener.

Conversations are super important. It’s never too early (or too late) to have these conversations with your students or your own children.

Operation Conversation is a check-in on kids’ mental health. When we start simple habits of conversations, we can learn about concerns or problems our students are dealing with, help them problem solve, and build their confidence for life’s difficult moments. 

Teachers can help to destigmatize mental health starting in their own classrooms by talking to their students about mental health using a free deck of conversation starter cards. Parents can also use these cards to support good conversations while at home. I know as a mom, I can use all the help I can get. 

#Giveaway Alert! 
I have 5 decks of Conversation Starter Decks of cards to give away to 5 lucky winners to help you get the conversation flowing! 

To enter:
1. Comment on this post as to why you would love the conversation starter deck of cards. 
 2. Follow @OnOurSleevesOfficial
3. Follow me @SavvyMomNY  I will pick the winners after 10pm on 11/22

Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest and touring her sister on first college visit. Maybe it’s a sign that they should be together. Totally bittersweet and we went to visit Binghamton in October 2019 and only made it to two more before March 2020. I’m only thinking of bright skies ahead for the both of them filled with amazing memories and wonderful opportunities 💚

New York state has so many wonderful places to be New York state has so many wonderful places to be a part of . From the bright lights of NYC, to quiet places of respite in its parks and wooded areas. Time to walk, hike and reflect. Being active and busy is something that I hope my teens learn from and something we can do together to enjoy all the beauty and nature it has to offer while keeping NY tobacco free. Did you know that our oldest generation of smokers are now dying? After them, you have me and a very large group of people who do not smoke at all. So, who’s next? Instead of taking cigarettes off the shelves, the tobacco industry views today’s teens as tomorrow’s customers, using menthol-flavored products to attract and addict kids – and it’s working. More than half (54%) of youth who smoke (ages 12-17 years) use menthol cigarettes. making it easier for kids to start and harder for them to quit. Menthol is not JUST a flavor, it attracts and addicts kids As a teen mom, I am sharing this so we can all take action! Learn more about the impact of Big Tobacco’s manipulative tactics on our communities and how you can take action to help end this injustice. Let’s keep our kids enjoying the wonderful things our state has to offer. Link in bio #NotJustMenthol #TobaccoFreeNYS #ad @tobaccofreenys
