Today, I did something different… like a little weird. 😂 I sought guidance from… within.
Okay, doing that is not that weird for me, but “who” I sought guidance from was the interesting part. I ended up learning something really cool and insightful. I’d love to share that story with you, so please press play to check out today’s podcast.
Blessings!

Today, I woke up with every intention to be in a good place. I paid attention to the beauty of the sky, that the leaves are returning to the trees, that the grass is green again. I tried so hard to focus on the good stuff.
AND despite my efforts to be positive, irritating stuff kept showing up.
As I write this description after the fact, I think that sometimes we have uneasiness going on within, deep beneath the surface, and without realizing it that energy is impacting our day. I may post a separate podcast as a follow-up to this one. (I recorded one, and I’m still a little nervous to post it.)
For now check out today’s podcast, as I share how I navigated the nonsense.
Blessings!

Mannnnnn…. it just took me the most unreasonable amount of time to make the simplest meal. But let me tell you why…
It used to really p*ss me off when one of my siblings would ask me why I was so tired. I was a stay-at-home mom, raising a toddler, and they were doing the 9 to 5 thing. They felt that all I did was sit at home all day so I had no reason to be tired. I could never articulate why I was always exhausted, but I knew I had good reason.
I’m about to tell you a story about how much effort it took for me to complete ONE task today. I believe that by the end of the story you’ll understand why I’m tired all the time. 😂

I originally posted this in 2024, AND maybe it’s a message you need to hear, today.
Sending you love if Mother’s Day is a challenging time for you.
I wrote a blog & recorded today’s podcast episode for people who have difficult relationships with their mothers. If that’s you, please visit mdillondesigns.com/blog.
For clarity:
Please note there are two separate posts. This is the podcast episode, “On Mother’s Day: A Healing Conversation.” If this resonated with you, you may also appreciate my separate blog post, “An Unhappy Mother’s Day Tribute.”
I believe BOTH are powerful and can be instrumental on your healing journey. Also, at the end of that blog post I share resources I found helpful on my own healing journey.
Blessings!

This post inspired me to create my own greeting card line for awkward relationships. I call them U.G.H. Moments because they are cards for those uncomfortable times when finding the right card is challenging because of the relationship. The UGH stands for Unique. Genuine. Honest. These are cards that get to the heart of the matter. They don’t lie about the nature of the relationship, but they are loving or simple and neutral. Also they can be customized so you don’t have to say things you don’t mean, that don’t feel true, or simply aren’t what you call that person. Just trying to do my part to make navigating this emotional space a little easier.
Check out my first collection for Mother’s Day. It launched April of 2025. 🥰
Depending on when you read this, it may be late too order for this Mother’s Day, but keep these in mind for next year. Also, there are matching gift mugs. You can customize those as well.
