Life Got In The Way

Are you okay with just being you?

I’m okay with being real.

I’m tired of the facades.

I’m tired of thinking that the only way to have a successful life is to actually complete the 4983 projects on my Pinterest boards. I’m tired of thinking that I don’t measure up because we lost the math homework again. I’m tired of expectations that I put on myself that are much too hard. I’m tired of worrying that because they had antibiotics when they were three their guts are messed up or that because we didn’t start baseball at age four that they can never play or that bad days define motherhood or that well, you know, all the worries and stuff that we’re told as moms every single day.

So I’m telling you.

I’m happy to be me.

And I want that for you too.

I want you to look at what you always wanted in life and to not just stop with I always wanted but to finish it with the beautiful rest of your story. Yes, sure it probably doesn’t look anything close to your I always wanted part. But truth?

It’s your story.

Definitely check out the rest of what this mom has to say on Finding Joy. You won't want to miss this.
