Different Seasons for Different Reasons

It feels like just yesterday I was 17....and now here I am at 46

Somewhere along the way, life shifted

I went from chaos to sunset dinners and drinks with my husband. From survival mode to something that finally feels like peace. From being a young, struggling mom....to becoming a grandmother this July.

And if I'm being honest, I'm still not entirely sure when the switch flipped.

But I do know this

You're going to be okay

That alone would have saved me years of stress, tears, and feeling like I wasn't enough. I would have rested more. Cried less. Given myself more grace.

Motherhood was long. It still is. I have a son who's almost 15, a daughter turning 18, and my oldest, at 26, is having her first baby.

People love to say, " You have to struggle to get to the good part." And maybe that's true.

But I know this

I made it.

And now I've found a place where I feel safe, secure, loved, and supported.

I am not broken

I am not stupid,

I was a work in progress!

If I could go back, I'd tell her again, You're going to be just fine.

And maybe we can't go back...But we can reach forward.

To anyone in the hard season in life right now

You will make it out.

You will be okay

Give yourself grace. Especially on the messy days.

Because one day you'll realize

You didn't just survive it..You grew through it
