\"worried<\/a><\/p>\n

This weekend, I did one of the scariest things I\u2019ve ever done in my life, and I learned a lot<\/em> about myself!<\/p>\n

As many of you know, my older son has Asperger\u2019s Syndrome \u2013 a mild form of autism. Recently, we told him about his diagnosis and we have taken on really empowering him to try new things, stretch outside of his comfort zone, and have confidence in himself.<\/p>\n

Well, as they say:\u00a0B<\/em>e careful what you wish for<\/em>!<\/p>\n

This Saturday, I woke up at 4:30am to drop my son off at the church where his Boy Scouts troop was leaving for a full week<\/em> of sleep-away summer camp!<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t tell you how incredibly nervous, unsure of myself, and terrified I was. This was the first time he\u2019d be away from us for more than 48 hours \u2013 and in a completely different state<\/em>!<\/p>\n

I wish I could say that I was the picture of grace and ease.<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

As much as I tried, I simply could not hold back the tears. My baby was going far away and I would not be there if he got hurt, scared, or did not know how to do something. I had to trust that he would be able to communicate to those around him when he needed help. I had to believe that he would be able to problem solve and help himself.<\/p>\n

I felt completely helpless and afraid. And it was written all over my face (in big, shiny tears)!<\/p>\n

Thankfully, there are other mothers in the troop who have been through this and they gave me their phone numbers, have been reaching out, texting and emailing me to see how I\u2019m doing.<\/p>\n

Now, as a relationship coach, I\u2019m<\/em> usually the one who is helping and supporting other women through their own fears, pain, and insecurity. When it was my<\/em> turn to be on the receiving end of that type of love and concern, and I have to admit that it wasn\u2019t very comfortable for me!<\/p>\n

I noticed how I was trying to play it cool at first, not completely open to receiving their genuine concern and affection. It made me feel so vulnerable to let them see how afraid I really was.<\/p>\n

I also noticed how I kept thinking it was \u201cworse\u201d for me, because my son has special needs. I didn\u2019t think they could understand what I was going through because they hadn\u2019t been through my <\/em>experience. How could they possibly know what it was like?<\/p>\n

Then there was a moment where I stopped and thought about you<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 the women who trust me to guide you from some of the most heartbreaking and frightening moments of your lives to a place of hope and happiness.<\/p>\n

I thought about how you open your heart in such a beautifully vulnerable way, sharing it with me and allowing me to see into the deepest parts of it because you trust that together we can find a way to the other side.<\/p>\n

Realizing this gave me courage to allow these women who I don\u2019t really know very well, but who I see want to offer comfort and reassurance, to be there for me. I\u2019m allowing myself to be guided and taken care of, and to learn from their experiences. I\u2019m still afraid and unsure, but I\u2019m trusting, receiving, and releasing control and it feels great<\/strong><\/em>!<\/p>\n

The best part is knowing that I\u2019m not in this alone<\/em>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, what about you?<\/p>\n

Are you ready to open your heart and allow someone to help you break through your own fears, pain, and doubt?<\/p>\n

Are you ready to talk to someone who\u2019s been where you are and can show you how to get to the other side, where extraordinary love is already waiting for you?<\/p>\n
