Life will be messy at times..mark my words…….and it is through the mess that we can often find the most beauty. Whether it is the beauty of a creative masterpiece, a beautiful relationship, or even a meaningful life lesson, the chaos and uncertainty that we encounter and choose to grow through is where the joy can be found. Embrace the mess and you just may find something beautiful.
For a long time I have been in denial that the mess exists. Afterall, messes are frowned upon, right?
So it scared me to let others in to the parts that aren’t shiny and pretty.
Why?? Because no one was talking about their mess!! I felt like the only one dealing with the hard despite always trying the absolute best I could.
Others appeared to have it all together AND I thought that meant I should too.
If I have ever given you that impression, I.am.sorry.
I have found when we keep our humanness locked away: we isolate, we compare, we judge – whether that be ourselves or others.
I figured that if I didn’t want to feel the pain, why would someone else want to sit in that space with me?
It’s not normally fun to feel stuck in the messy.
However, through the love and embracing of my friends, I have found a safe place to be me and have learned how freeing and energy-giving it is to let others in. Now I can offer that same grace to the women I care about to know they aren't alone either.
It truly can be beautiful. You don’t have to feel stuck in it anymore.
Just like in this photo, I have been able to turn my mess into my MASTERPIECE.
It felt good to be in the room, slinging paint around, while blasting rock music! I chose a canvas because I wanted to create something that I can display and have it remind me that life is messy AND it can be beautiful.
Especially this time of year (running around trying to shop, wrap, cook, drive this person here and attend that party there) it can feel like we are throwing paint at a wall hoping it sticks. It can look like a real disaster – yet it always comes together.
We did this call last month where all of these amazing women jumped on and heard others share what it is like to be a mom thriving in the midst of the messy in life (whether that be relationships, work, faith, or themselves). Hearing practical ways to balance all the things, finding clarity through connection, and the support of being in community are essential. When we have backing we can conquer anything!
We received so many messages during the call and after saying how inspiring it was, that they really felt the heart of the other women, that these ladies didn’t feel so alone after tuning in, that they felt capable with the tips and tricks shared, and are empowered to live in the AND…to not settle for the either/or any longer. I even cried during it! By the end the ladies were begging to know the date of the next one.
It’s here! Back by popular demand, tonight, at 7:30!!
Take 30 minutes for yourself, and if you are reading this and saying that you don’t have any time for you, this may be your sign to know exactly where you will receive benefit being at that time.
I’ll tell you, it’s absolutely validating when there are a group of women that you feel heard and seen by! To know you are not alone. I’m thankful to be able to offer what this community has been to me...a safe place, where I can welcome anyone in for some extra love, support, and encouragement.
So, if you are interested, drop below or message me for the invite.
Bottom line, we all will leave with our cups absolutely filled. Looking forward to seeing you there!!
