MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
I know this isn’t your average Christmas picture. As I ponder all that I am grateful for this season, I can’t help but think about all of the incredible people our little family got to meet over this last year. And all of the wonderful adventures and memories we got to create!
As we wrapped up the “2024 Brecky Breck Books and Bikes tour”, my heart was SO FULL. But we definitely hit a wall of exhaustion. Kylan and I took a DEEP breath, held our kids, and then spread out for a few months. The kids and I went on adventures, Kylan worked at his old office space, and I went on tons of mom dates, workout sessions, and runs with friends). We went into a bit of “hibernation”, if you will.
As time has gone on, my heart has felt a bit overwhelmed. So much happened on the tour, I feel like I’m still processing so many amazing moments and memories. That feeling of overwhelm has come from a place of feeling like I haven’t thanked all of the incredible people who made it possible, not editing all of the content we captured in a timely manner, and not being the mom, wife, and business partner I truly strive to be.
BUT, I’ve come to realize that the only one holding me hostage to that way of thinking is myself.
This Christmas, I choose to be overwhelmed with GRATITUDE, PEACE, and JOY! The King of Kings came to the earth as a baby to prove His love to us. And His life was a series of interrupted events that He took on full of grace and love. That’s who I want my life to be a reflection of.
Merry Christmas to you all!
PS: Here’s a picture of Brecky Breck and her camera man (see the background?) in the waterslide at Lakewood Camping Resort in Myrtle Beach, SC! Fun facts: it was spring break, that day was a COLD day, and I acted like we had beautiful summer weather! When Kylan asked me to “do it again” I was like, “oh you’ve got to be kidding me, babe! I’m so cold I can’t feel my fingers.” All while our kids were watching a movie in the RV waiting for me to let them use the fishing equipment I purchased for this episode. 🤣 WHAT AN ADVENTURE! 😍😭💖🎉 So so grateful.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
