It Can Be Both

Oct 1

The worldwide pandemic has been a time of highs and lows, ups and downs. And if we are really honest, perhaps the lows feel a lot lower and more frequent than the highs we’ve experienced.

And yet…

Amid the separation, disappointment, sadness, frustration, uncertainty, defeat, anger, anxiety, fear—there’s joy, hope and gratitude.

We can hold both loneliness and love, sadness and contentment, uncertainty and faith... we can hold both at the same time.

I’ve been overwhelmed A LOT with the everyday chaos of life and motherhood added to quarantine, virtual school and no time alone. And then guilt follows, because, well, there’s so much to be thankful for! Why am I not feeling more satisfied & in a better mood? So I gently tell myself a *million* times a day—it can be both. I take deep breaths to reset and not judge the feelings that I hold.

Recently I spent a whole, lavish day with one of my favorite people. It was so, so refreshing! What a great reminder to lean into people who listen well and connect with your heart.

Things are still heavy.
We can hold both.
