sorry if this is triggering it’s just how i’m feeling in this moment 💔

FAILURE IS PART OF THE PROCESS

10/02/2026

a VERY atypical friday. i never run long on friday, because work and kids and work and kids. but this weekend is booked & non-long-runnable, so this is how i make it work. 22 miles in the bag.

truthfully running, my kids routines, and my husband are the reason i am not in a ditch somewhere drowning in my grief. DRAMATIC BUT REAL. SO REAL. all i think about is my mom. i miss you so much. my forever angel in the sky. 🦋

one of the toughest things about losing my mom so far, amongst many, is choosing to let my kids see the worst version of myself, and knowing through no fault of anyone that they’re receiving the worst version of their mom. every day is some degree of hard and they see it feel it and are navigating their own loss

there is also such an endearing, innocent, and humorous side of how frank children are with death.

“you’re sad because naunie died”
“my mom is crying because my naunie is dead”
“my naunie died and now my mom is sad all the time”

i’ve learned that they are smarter than we give them credit for, they understand death conceptually and yet still don’t understand that she’s gone. exactly what i am going through 💔

we march and stumble and trip forward a day at a time and getting cards like these is so so sweet and morbidly hilarious

a close friend told me about this whole “sleep-under” concept and i was sold instantly. all the elements of a sleepover without actually sleeping over. like a sleepover…. except everyone’s outcha house at 9pm 😇 brb while i never look back. girly had a blast! 7 girlfriends & their 7 mamis — crafts, my diy twinkle fort, powerpuff girls, matching jammies, KATSEYE, candy, & cocktails for the magic-makers, ofc 😏💅

we had to reschedule my girl’s big night a couple times after my mom passed. so happy to finally get to celebrate her big 6 with all her favs. 🦄💋

what a difference a year can make. it’s so rewarding to see hard work pay off. patience sucks but it truly is key

things i’m prioritizing right now: VOLUME, VOLUME, VOLUME, and more speed work. intentional speed work with less short cuts. it’s so hard!

did any of these speak to you?

i’ve never been so gd tired of decision making. i don’t mention it here but something that’s worth its own conversation is the amount of adoration and appreciation i have for all my homegirls who have poured into me by taking decisions away from me in my grief. things like:

“i’m bringing you & the kids dinner on friday at 5pm.”

“i’m taking you out on this date at this time, all you need to tell me is what you’re craving.”

“i’m calling you tonight and we’ll either gossip or cry, whatever feels good to you in the moment.”

i love them and i adore them and i am so protective of them

the unwanted mountain of decision making i’ve had to scale in losing her has been so horrible and your girl needs a B R E A K

good grief!
