Do you ever feel like you’re right on the cusp of doing something “big,” but there’s just so many things that keep popping up in life that get in the way?
Well that’s where I am. But I won’t give up. And neither should you, if you find yourself here too.
I spent a few minutes alone in the car (a common mom hiding spot) today giving myself a pep talk.
“Listen Ash, it’s -
- ok that you just lost your flexible virtual job of 10 years,
- ok that your husband hasn’t really been able to walk for almost 2 months and you’re more exhausted than you’ve ever been,
- ok that your head is about to explode trying to execute the most magical engaging homeschool education for your 5 kids,
- ok that you’re struggling to understand and teach a child with dyslexia,
- ok that your baby girl is becoming a teen and you weren’t ready,
- ok that you don’t actually have a 'real' baby at the moment but you kind of wish you did…
- ok that your 3 young sons keep injuring themselves daily; someone is bleeding constantly,
- ok that you probably just scared off a prospective new mom friend by letting her know that you actually have 6 kids and 1 died from Group B Strep,
- ok that you wrote a book but keep hitting roadblock after roadblock trying to publish it.
It’s all OK. Things will get better.
And I know they will…eventually. Life is A LOT to handle sometimes. But we must persevere. Have faith.
