Just read this & had to share. It’s an important reminder not to be distracted by the thoughts & opinions of others.

When my social media presence started taking off and everybody and their dog had an opinion on who I should be - and what I should say - how I should say it - and how many times I should apologize, etc, etc, etc. someone I love and trust sent me this exact quote. And I have never forgotten it. It’s still one of my favorites!

Ladies, if you are doing anything worth doing, you will stir up the field mice.
They will squeak, they will scatter, they will run to the corners (or their keyboards) with their tiny little voices.
They will tell you you’re doing it wrong, you’re too much, you’re not enough, you shouldn’t even be driving the combine in the first place.

And here’s where you have a choice:
Stop. Climb down. Tend to the squeaking. Lose the whole harvest…
OR
Keep your hands on the wheel, your eyes on the field, and keep going.

Because you were not called to gather opinions.
You were called to gather a harvest.

Let them chatter. Let them scurry.
Their motives, their misunderstandings, and their miniature view of the world are not worth your time.

The field is wide. The work is big.
And you, my friend, are made for this.
Now — get back in that seat.

I love you,
Mel

Tips for Transitioning Back to School

Beauty from ashes 💚💚💚

There is a quiet kind of beauty in broken things—
a kind that does not shout, but whispers
to the soul.

You may have cracks from moments that shattered you.
You may carry the ache of memories that pressed too hard.
But even in your brokenness,
you are not worthless.
You are not done.

A broken mirror still reflects light.
A shattered vase, pieced together, holds more meaning than it ever did whole.
A torn page may still carry words that change a life.

Sometimes, what breaks us
is what opens us.
What wounds us
is what softens us.
What scatters us
is what teaches us how to gather beauty in the smallest places.

Art doesn’t need to be perfect to be powerful.
A song in a minor key can move a heart more deeply
than one in perfect pitch.
A painting with rough strokes can still stir tears.

You, too, are like that.

Your story, with its jagged lines and unfinished chapters,
is not something to hide.
It’s something to share.

You may not return to the form you once were,
but that doesn’t mean you’re any less worthy.
It means you are evolving.

From brokenness comes depth.
From loss comes clarity.
From pain comes poetry.

So, when you feel fractured,
when you feel like all your pieces no longer fit—
remember:

You are not lost.
You are simply being reshaped
into a new kind of masterpiece.
One that only you can become.
