The year of the mother.
If there were ever a time to let perfection go, it's this year. It's right now, sis. In this moment. Today.

This waiting place isn't easy.
Some days I feel like I've got it together, while other days I feel like I'm coming unhinged.

You're good - right smack dab in all of your mess.
I was hanging on by a thread. I couldn't tell you what actually sent me over the edge. Maybe it was traffic, or work, or a text I analyzed.

To the mama filled with worry, you've done enough.
I feel like I’ve ran a marathon yet I haven’t left my house in weeks.
Life as I know it seems to be dangling above my head as a big fat TBD.

Stop coasting on fumes and calling it living.
Day after day I put myself dead last. I check off my lists and ensure that those around me are happy and accounted for.

Not everyone is going to like you - it's OK.
We wonder - did we say something or do something to offend someone? Is it our clothes or the way we wear our hair? We question everything.

It's time to lower the bar.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. It is NOT your job to ensure everyone is happy. So what are you doing?

I'm never going to be consistent, but that's OK.
Everywhere I look my inconsistencies scream the word "when." When are you going to get it together? When are you going to lose the weight?

That JOY you're searching for - it's not found in her life.
We chase objects and titles, homes and possessions and call it the quest for joy. Sis, that's not chasing joy, that's chasing comparison.

You can be grateful and still have hard days.
I know you are tired, mama. I know some days you feel as though the whole world rests on your shoulders. Your bones ache and your mind races

The five words my son said that leveled me in all of my mess.
Yesterday there was no winning. Yesterday was full on survival mode. Head down, foot on the gas ... mama needs to GO type of day.

Don't be afraid to run your own race.
We wonder why her tribe looks like 10 women when ours looks like one. We shift our focus inward. We start to believe that maybe it's just us

Stop telling yourself you can't when you can.
The word failure rings in our head, but sis it's time to put it down. Stop looking over at her paper and keep your eyes on your own.

Put down the guilt and see yourself for everything you ARE.
Reality? We all doubt ourselves, but never doubt who you are. Never bend yourself backwards to fit someone else's ideal.

Life isn’t meant to be a blur, mama—I’m throwing up the white flag.
I keep telling myself 'today is the day.' Today is the day that I'm going to get it together. I'm going to workout more, eat healthier....

Mama, be who you were made to be, not who others want you to be.
I'm not everyone's cup of tea. I'm too much for some people. Too loud; too outspoken. I talk too much. I voice my opinions far too often...

You're more than "Good enough" Mama - You're "Good" plain and simple.
I missed the mark today and not by a little, I'm talking a lot. Today, the tired set in and the frustration came out and with it came the...

I'm taking back my joy and you should too, Mama.
I hit my threshold the other day. You know the one I'm talking about. The one where you aren't quite sure if you want to laugh or cry. I...

Your worth isn't defined by others expectations, Mama, so let the guilt go.
Sister. I am calling it. Enough. The guilt. The pressure. The unrealistic expectations. The negative talk. It has to stop. WE have to...
