Yesterday got the best of me.
I had every intention of sitting down and writing, but life is messy, beautiful, unpredictable life had other plans. Between juggling work, motherhood, emotions, and just trying to hold it all together, the day slipped through my fingers.
And instead of beating myself up about it (like I normally would), I’m choosing grace.
Because some days are just overwhelming. Some days we carry more than what’s visible. Some days, showing up means simply surviving and that counts.
I’ve been reflecting a lot as my birthday approaches tomorrow. It’s that annual pause, that moment of “How far have I come?” mixed with “Where the hell am I going?” And honestly, I’m proud of the woman I’ve become. Even if she misses a blog post. Even if she cries in the car. Even if she’s still figuring it out.
So here’s to the chaos. The softness. The strength. The realness.
I’ll be back tomorrow with a birthday glow and hopefully a little more clarity.
