If you’re feeling drained by trying to fit in with groups that don’t see or celebrate all of you, give yourself permission to step away. Opting out of spaces that don’t align with your values or make you feel seen is a powerful form of self-care. Your peace is worth protecting, and that includes protecting yourself from relationships that only tolerate you instead of fully embracing who you are.
It’s amazing to look back and see how much things have shifted, isn’t it? Motherhood, marriage, and life itself have a way of evolving us—sometimes in the quiet moments and sometimes in the messy, loud ones. We give thanks!
If we’re being honest, we often shy away from these questions because they’re hard. It’s easier to focus on external distractions than to really sit with ourselves. But here’s the truth: contentment doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a lifelong journey of learning, growing, and accepting. And it starts when you decide to prioritize what you want over what the world tells you to want.
The truth is, we’re all going to make mistakes along the way. But by being mindful of these common regrets, we can make choices that help us live more fully in the present and create lasting, happy memories with our kids. Take care of yourself, set those boundaries, and don’t forget to laugh—because you’re doing an amazing job, one day at a time.
We’re not saying life is going to get easier overnight. But what we *are* saying is that the grass we already have—the life we’re already living—looks greener and greener each day when we take time to nurture it. We’ve learned to be grateful for what’s in our hands, right here and now, whether it’s a good season or a tough one. Less "should’ve, could’ve, would’ve" and more appreciating the beauty of the moment we’re in. What a beautiful season to live in! I hope this encourages you to see the green in your own life, and to keep watering it.
