This was a really awesome quote I've been thinking on for awhile now and I wanted to share it.
Id love to hear your take on it!

How much easier would life be if we just focused on what we could control instead of fighting against how life happens to us?
I think it's is a really positive reframe that would really be worth trying!

This has by far been one of the hardest parts of my healing journey, but one of the most important.

One of my adult sons just sent me this and I burst out crying because I can relate so much to every line myself.

My son and I are a lot alike. We both need other people in our lives to help us feel loved, validated and to recharge our emotional batteries. It is clearly a big ask for the people in our lives. We are not difficult or overly demanding, but we definitely struggle to feel secure and have inner peace. We think we were born into the wrong family because they find our chronic illness needs burdensome.

Honestly, probably anyone with chronic health problems, mental or physical, feels like a burden to their loved ones sometimes. I am here today to remind you that it is not your fault that you have this neverending challenge that requires extra support from others. Hear me? IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT.

Sharing this beautiful paragraph brought my son and I closer, so I am giving it to all of you to use too.

Peace and Love.

The other night, I was struggling with my emotions and my 9 year old daughter saw me cry. She immediately told me "Momma, it's okay to cry. It's okay to feel all of your feelings, they are all important ❣️"

This was a much needed reminder for me & I thought you could use it, too.

So often, we think of hope as a pretty, glittery, glamourous idea- but it's not.

Hope is messy. It's a decision to keep moving forward, one baby step at a time, despite feeling powerless, alone or afraid.

This quote from the Lord of the Rings really has me thinking about what hope really looks like. I hope it's helpful to you, too.

Whenever I need help opening up or being brave, this is one of the songs on my playlist.

I'd love it if we shared some of our favorite songs you love when you need music to cope!
