Happy Mother’s Day. Today was a love letter to me. Though i absolutely treasure being Violet and Sophie’s mama, and am lucky enough to have a wonderful mom myself...today i focused on mothering myself. It’s like the universe gave us a big permission slip to treat ourselves the way we always should. Through the pain of this fall i learned so many amazing ways to love and accept and hold myself even when I desperately wanted things, (mostly me!) to be different. So today was a reminder of how far I’ve come and how much self love i deserve. I napped, i cried (cause who doesn’t love a good exhausted Sunday cry heyooo!), i took a long bath, and i took my girls to the mountain near us that i climbed over and over during the hardest days postpartum. We looked out over the city and took deeeep breaths and laughed and marveled at how small it all seemed from high up. Well, tbh, Sophie just drooled but still, it was perfect. So, consider this an invitation to all of us, not just moms on one day of the year, to do the same for our hardworking, overtired, and loving selves. Rest, restore, forgive, nurture, breathe, and feeeel. It’s only after all that permission to be with what already is that the fire starts again. ;) I LOVE YOUUUUU
