Sammi (grand baby #3) came to the daycare after school wearing her “100 days of school” outfit, and then she told me that she dressed like I did when I was in school! 😳😳😂😂 Maybe 32 years of childcare hasn't aged me so well!

Motherhood

To every mother who feels a little alone today, please take this post and pocket it.  

You know what is hard? Motherhood. 

You know what is amazing ? Motherhood. 

You know what is lonely? Motherhood (even though you are never alone, like ever). 

You know what makes you feel like the biggest failure? Motherhood. 

You know what makes you feel like you are super human? Motherhood. 

You know what makes you feel like you are crazy? Motherhood. 

You know what  makes you feel like the most patient person in the world? Motherhood. And guess what makes you feel like the most impatient person in the world, yup, Motherhood. 

You know what brings out your worst side? Motherhood. You know what brings out your best side? Motherhood. 

Motherhood, it is full of oxymorons, polar opposites, fear, doubt, joy, love, and literally every single emotion in between and some you didn’t even know existed.Wherever you are on this motherhood spectrum, from brand new to having grand children, all of us feel these emotions! And it’s the reason we do it. 

Motherhood is a journey filled with love, joy, and challenges. It teaches us patience, resilience, and selflessness. We experience the highs of watching our children grow and achieve their dreams, and the lows of sleepless nights and endless worries. But through it all, the love we have for our children keeps us going. It's a love that knows no bounds and a bond that cannot be broken. 

So, wherever you are in your motherhood journey, remember that you are not alone. We are all united by the incredible gift of being a mother.

Tomorrow's Gonna Be A Snooze Fest!

It's the crack of dawn on a Monday. I should be getting my beauty sleep for work tomorrow, but my brain refuses to shut off. Sunday night insomnia strikes again! I've got a ton of things to do before the week kicks off, and I'm so hyped up with productivity. Who needs regular office hours when I can work on work-related stuff at this ungodly hour? Basically, I'm ahead of the game and ahead of my alarm clock! Sure, I'll feel like crap tomorrow, but at least I don't have a strict schedule. I can catch some extra zzz's and still manage to show up to work on time. Gotta love that flexibility! lol

Choose wisely.

How you perceive the world is how you will live

You can choose to focus on each awful, imperfect experience.  

You can assume the worst possible outcome and expect people to fail you.  

Or you can allow yourself to be in awe of what is right, beautiful and sacred, and profound.  

You can choose to focus on what makes you feel aligned with the extraordinary life you hope for. 

You can expect people to surprise and delight you in the best ways.  

What you focus on is what will become your truth.  

Choose wisely.

Words to live by

 

life isn't easy, and you have no idea what other folks are experiencing.

Your truth is yours. Leave space for someone else’s too.

Trust in people.

Believe in what you can't see.

Know that the world is an inherently beautiful place.

Believe that you are exactly as you're supposed to be.

Trust your journey.

Be a force of good to others.

And for the love of all things holy, be kind.
