Hi friend. Yes, you. In need of a tea or coffee break? A moment to take a breath? Me too. Pull up a chair. Iām here. Letās chat.
How has life been? Good? Hard? Average? All of the above? Me too.
Today is Motherās Day; which can be a wonderful day for so manyā¦and also a really hard day for some of us too. Perhaps it can be both at the same time??? I donāt know about you, but Iām trying to learn how to live more gracefully in the āin-betweensā; those places where goodness and grief link arms for a moment. Between you and me, I genuinely feel like Iām failing wildly at the whole thing. *insert laughter here* All that said to say: are you in need of grace today? Letās walk into it togetherā¦even if for just a moment. The laundry can wait. The kids, theyāll be fine for a few more minutes. The lists, the shoulds, the text messages and emails or whatever else keeps us all too busy. They can wait.
How are YOU today? Honestly. I want to know! Is today your day to kick back and recharge? I hope so! Even if itās just for these few moments together, youāre worth the pause. Youāre worth a heart hug. And if you donāt feel worth that todayā¦thatās okay too. Life tends to hand us a lot. Weāre worth the good stuff anyway. (Including that second cup of coffee or cookie.) Just saying. ;)
Anyway, whether youāre hearing it from everyone today or just me: Happy Motherās Day. Happy āyouāre here and beautiful and aliveā Day. Thatās my wish for you, friendāa moment of genuine happy. Soooo needed, right? š
Lots of love,
š¤Ellice
P.S. I would love to know one thing you plan to do today that will bring a smile to your face! (My one thing is being near the water, watching sailboats!)
