Today I walked.

It was supposed to be a run. One hour. But I walked. Briskly. But I slowed down- metaphorically and literally

I tend to be a go big or go home person. And taking my time is a bit of an issue for me.

But every step forward is just that- forward- and those steps can be small.

Sometimes we can only take it day by day and that’s ok.

One step at a time

You need this book if motherhood has ever felt less than enjoyable and you feel guilty about that because you wanted kids.

You need this book if you are pregnant and want to know what REALLY comes next after that sweet little blob gets here.

You need this book if you need a friend during this stage of life.

You need this book if you feel lost and have no
Clue how to find yourself again.

You need this book if you want to read the nicks names I came up with for my va**na.

You need this book if you need help making new friends

You need this book if you want to feel….. normal

Yes it’s clean.

No it’s not aesthetic.

Theres a difference.

These rooms have been swept, mopped, wiped down- etc.

Surfaces….. somewhat clear.

My house does NOT have to look like a magazine cover (though I think if more covers showed the average home - we’d all feel less bad about ourselves) and it does not have to

It’s not a show home- we actually live here

And it’s ok if it looks like it

Let’s clean up a little doom table together

There will times in life you don’t know what the f*ck you are doing.

Maybe several times.

There will be times you feel lost or “behind”.

But remember life is NOT a race.

Vera Wang designed her first dress at 40.

Samuel L. Jackson landed his first major movie role at 46.

Ray Kroc found success with McDonald's at 52.

Morgan Freeman got his first big break at 50.

Oprah Winfrey found fame at 32.

There's no such thing as "too late".

Maybe you will never be a millionaire or find the cure for cancer.

Maybe you will just be a kind person.
Maybe you will stop and admire flowers.
Maybe you will dance without abandon

Maybe success in life actually doesn’t have anything to do with how much money you have how big your house is or how many vacations you took that year.

Perhaps it’s how much you tried your best, spread kindness, and found some happiness along the way

Maybe- that’s enough
