Exactly what being a parent feels like. 🎯

You hit the ground.
No one expected you to die.
Of course, you're still making dinner!
Right?!

😜 💪

DON'T listen to the whispers that try to convince you you're too old, your time has passed or your best years are behind you. The journey of your life has been challenging. You have fought hard to become the woman you are. You have SO much more to offer than you ever have before.

Burning bridges is typically not recommended. But just like burning boats, there are boundaries that need to be held in every situation. So if standing up for yourself requires a burned bridge, at least ride at dawn with sisters! 👯 🐎 🔥 😂

Who has an explanation for this craziness?! By all means, explain the brain science! I'm so listening.

With so many important things to remember, why is this one of the things that sticks!?!

See if you can drop yours below. . .

When it seems like everyone around you is floating in pink clouds with candy hearts, romantic fairytales, and overpriced flowers, remember love begins within. Choose to love yourself this week. You're so worthy, whether anyone else sees it or not.

This quote is exactly why I started HeartStories and it's been the lifeblood of every single thing we've done since.

"She existed in her friends; THERE she was. ALL the parts of herself she'd forgotten. She knew herself best when she was with them."

I hear ya, Walt. But I gotta say, after the years we've had, blooming DURING the adversity has been a challenge.

If you're still breathing today, you are nurturing a beautiful bloom.

You are growing. You are becoming. You are a work of art.

Keep going, beautiful one.

Fresh air
Creativity
Kindness
Support
Self Love

What else do you add in for self-care? 💕

One of my favorite ingredients to add is water! Works like a charm, for me and my kiddos.

Quote from Dr.Edith Eger, Holocaust Survivor & author of "The Choice" book.

Your assertiveness has to be rooted in the belief that there is enough.
That YOU are enough.

There is and you are, you know.

When I get bored (AKA can't sleep) at night, I read funny memes on Pinterest. The laughter provides serotonin which helps me fall asleep. #truestory

This has me rolling on the floor laughing... but not near my bed, of course!

What are your nighttime tricks or routines?

[HeartStories ~ Connecting Experiences for Friends @replacethenoise]

Sounds about right.

What would you add?

There have been many days you didn't want to be strong, but you had no choice but to keep going.

Those are the days that made you.

You've become the strong woman that you are, precisely because of your story.

Your strength is worth celebrating!

Simply profound wisdom from @sethgodin blog.

It may seem like just a few hours here and there, but when you look back, it will be your life.

Moments matter.

Invest them with intention.
