Tuesday was tough for me; mentally, and emotionally. I unpacked some health stuff with my doctor and it seemed to unlock this area inside of me, the realization that I’m not getting any younger and neither is my family. That thought naturally unlocked another thought, “how am I spending my time here?” What are we working hard for, what are we working towards, what’s the goal, what’s the purpose?

My mind and heart felt heavy, and so I cried… a lot.

It’s hard to do everything right, and as much as I want to (and try to), I won’t ever get it right every time.

That’s crushing. As a mom, a wife… a friend, a creative, and an entrepreneur… my perfectionist idealist voice wants to deny this truth and say, “You have to get it right summer” - oh that pressure!

I don’t want to be away from my kids, but I also need my own time.

I don’t want to stop eating certain things, but I also need my body to be healthy.

There are decisions I’m facing right now that feel really hard, and honestly, I don’t know the right answer for some things that are currently on the table.

But I’m confident that when I seek peace in all of it, that the right things fall into place.

Doing something of significance. Something that inspires. Something that sets my soul on fire. Something that shows my kids anything is possible. Something that leaves a mark on the world, even if it’s tiny… that is where the purpose is.

So… Day by day, moment by moment, the journey of growth and life continues, and here I am, storytelling my way through it. Thanks for being here with me, whether it’s on Instagram, Facebook, my website, or in person… I appreciate you 🤍🌻
