Today we remember the ultimate sacrifice and act of love…but death will not hold him. ❤️

But we do have the choice to own it, embrace it, and make something good happen because of it. 🤍

Ever think of it like that? Self-care is so important. Regardless of the form it takes, self-care replenishes us, and gives us the capacity to give of ourselves to others. It took me a long time to understand this. I always felt guilty when "indulging" in self-care. But it's not an indulgence, it's a necessity.

I encourage you to do something for yourself this weekend that replenishes you - even if it's just a 5-minute walk, or enjoying a cup of coffee with a good book. You deserve it, and you will be better for it.

I just wrapped up listening to Brené Brown's "The Power of Vulnerability" (highly recommend), and one of the guideposts she outlines for whole-hearted living is "letting go of exhaustion as a status symbol and productivity as self-worth." Wow. This was an eye-opener. For me, this translates to giving myself grace instead of beating myself up when I'm not performing or producing at a certain level. It's so hard to do, especially for those of us that are our own worst critics. Yesterday I missed the gym, I wasn't as productive as I wanted to be at work, I cooked a mediocre dinner, and did not get to most of my to-do list before calling it a day. But the reality is, I got some much-needed rest by "sleeping in" a little longer, I had a successful presentation in front of 100+ people, the family was fed, and I cleaned the kitchen and did a load of laundry before bed. It's interesting how my mind immediately went to what I didn't do before I caught myself and switched the perspective. The reality is, we're going to have days that we don't check all the boxes. And that is completely okay. Sometimes rest is more important, and the exhaustion is not worth the productivity.

Don’t ever forget it! 💜

Yes, it is. Be kind to yourself on these days. 🤍

My sweet friends Dan and Kellie Henry (Oh.henrys ) have launched a new podcast series called, “The Marriage Comeback,” and the first episode is up! I think most couples would agree that marriage is not easy, and it takes hard work and intentionality to have one that is healthy and fireproof. This podcast is all about that – real, relatable talk for real couples. Their story and purpose are near and dear to my heart, and I’m so proud of them for being vulnerable and opening up about a topic that doesn’t get enough attention in today’s world. Check it out! ❤️

This hit home. It’s something I still struggle with. I just have to constantly remind myself that there’s a plan greater than anything I could ever design. 🤍

Speaking from experience, He does and He is. 🙌🏻
