Merry Christmas to Everyone!

Take a moment to do a little self-check- How are you doing today? And what do you need to do to ?

How are you doing today? Take a moment to check your battery. Remember to take care of yourself.

It seems there has been a lot more overwhelm this week. Perhaps it's the announcement last Friday, perhaps it's because we've been in crisis mode longer than maybe we should be or maybe it's because of the full moon, who knows🤷‍♀️

Either way, taking 5 short minutes might be just enough to give you the space you need to get out of the overwhelm and back in control.

5 Minutes in the Mayhem It’s not easy, is it? There are so many demands on your time right now, homeschooling, laundry, keeping the kids occupied, uncertainty over exams, constantly moving things so that everyone has a desk, cooking, cleaning, shopping, queuing, caring for relatives, reaching out to friends, making sure ...

This is so important. So much of how we communicate is in how we smile and how our mouth moves. If masks become our new reality it makes sense to have these!

I believe all of these things are true. I believe grace and rest are key. Feeling and owning our own s**t instead of working it out on others is key. When we slip up, apologizing to the people we offload on is key.

And, when we hit that wall, sometimes courage looks like scaling it or breaking through it. AND, sometimes courage is building a fort against the wall and taking a nap.

For those of us with kids, I don't think we pretend that the wall doesn't exist.

Rather than sucking it up and pushing through, we name it. We help them understand that invisible wall that they will run into hundreds and hundreds of times in their lives. We model what it takes to recognize it and how tough it can be to choose the right strategy: scaling, reaching out for a lift, and/or resting. Naming, modeling, and not having answers is how we help them feel less alone or scared when they face their own wall.

Hard days are real because this is hard.

Stay awkward, kind and brave enough to rest and feel,
