An Important Message For Women This Weekend

An Important Message For Women This Weekend

Lately, I've been finding myself fantasizing...and not about men with sexy abs or the hot dates of romance.

My fantasies these days go something like this: I'm in bed, sleeping the day away, not worrying about hair, makeup, or putting on work-appropriate shoes. I saunter to the couch eventually, stuff my face with bad foods without worrying if it goes to my hips. I watch endless hours of Netflix, ignore the pile of dishes and the bills and all of the adult stuff and just spend the day with Henry and my cats.

I know, I know....a wild fantasy.

In all seriousness, though, September always feels like a rough month for me. I'm back to school and trying to just get used to the routine. September usually finds me worn out, burn out, and just craving sleep. 

Sometimes I think life is just really hard, and we all fall into the trap of needing to be so many different things. There is always so much to do, to worry about, and to feel insufficient at. Hair, makeup, housekeeping, bills, careers, friends, relationships, marriages, parenting, and everything else we're a part of---wow, it's exhausting.

And wow, it can all leave us feeling inadequate.

But this week, I'm here to remind you this: You're doing okay. I'm proud of you. And, most importantly, you're more than enough.

I think as women especially, we need to remember to boost each other up. Life is hard. Adulting is hard. Exhaustion is real.

But if we can all remind each other once in a while that what we're doing is worthwhile and that strengths, weaknesses, and everything in between, we are enough....well, I think we might just all make it through together.

How has your month been? And how do you beat the exhaustion that sometimes sets in with the craziness of life? What keeps you energized? I'd love to know your tips and tricks. Hit reply and let me know what works for you.

Have a great weekend! I hope you get to rejuvenate a bit.

Xoxo,
