Do you ever feel overwhelmed by daily routines or trapped in the monotony of chores? I’ve been there too, and it can be quite frustrating. It’s time to find balance between our responsibilities and our mental sanctuary, all while embracing the chaos.
Hello, I’m Sameera, and welcome to my blog! I’m a mom to three self-sufficient teenagers, a Mastiff puppy, and two rescue cats, and I’m married to a wonderfully supportive husband. With ten of us in the household, including my aging in-laws, life can get pretty chaotic. Yet, despite the whirlwind, we manage to navigate our days with gratitude and appreciation for one another.
I hold an undergraduate degree in Psychology and a double master’s in Social Work and Marriage and Family Therapy. My journey took me to a new town where I balanced my graduate studies with a newborn on my hip, surrounded by a supportive group of new-found friends. Although I chose not to pursue a counseling license after graduation, opting instead to become a stay-at-home mom, I’ve always cherished the fulfillment of prioritizing my family over a career. Now that my boys are older and more independent, I’ve found more time to focus on my passions. When I’m not busy juggling kids’ commutes, doctors’ appointments, or hushing my pets off the dining table, I love indulging in writing, arts, and forming new online communities.
Over the years, I’ve dabbled in blogging and joined various Facebook groups to document my experiences, though consistency was a challenge. Now, having learned to stop drowning in and hiding behind commitments, I want to inspire other women to never let their passions collect dust. Create a few minutes of sanctuary where you can pursue your hobbies and prioritize me-time. A little bit today will go a long way in the future when we become empty nesters, and these hand-painted walls and dirty sinks could otherwise haunt us with loneliness.
Through this blog, I hope to inspire you to find a balance between chaos and tranquility and navigate your own creative and joyful journey. Whether it’s through writing, crafting, or simply finding a moment of peace in a hectic day, there’s always a way to bring a little more joy into your life.
Join me as we explore the beauty of embracing the chaos and finding sanity in the midst of it all. Together, we can create a vibrant community where we support and uplift each other, making space for our passions and finding fulfillment in the everyday moments.
Thank you for being here, and I look forward to sharing this journey with you.
