With their many moves, most military families develop a course of action, one that likely engenders more scrutiny for improvement than any other element of military family life. We have our own, and though our movers think we’re strange, my little military family sees the bright side of a PCS.
There are many challenges that come with a life in the military, but there are also many sweet moments, and I feel it is important to relish in those good moments, when they come to us. My family recently got to experience one of these beautiful moments in our military journey—a Christmas homecoming.
I love being a Master Resilience Trainer. I’ve learned so much about myself and my actions. One of my favorite skills to teach is goal setting. I feel it’s important to have goals to push you forward. I always work better if I’m working to achieve something. My biggest goal last year was to graduate school, and I did it!
We’ve just wrapped up the holiday season with a neat little bow and the new year is upon us. All of those feelings of joy, sharing, gifting, and goodwill to all are about to run down the drain as we go back to work, school, and schedules. Here’s the thing, though—’tis still the season!

And now?
I’m scared to death about being a mother for a second time in less than two months.
