the confession I need to make…

Hi my friend,

I know this time of year is C-R-A-Z-Y. 

And sometimes that craziness means thinking that you did something…and then realizing that you actually didn’t do that thing.

Or, in my case, maybe multiple things. 😉

I have a confession to make: I have forgotten to RSVP to not one, but three different parties this month. The big problem? In my head, I did RSVP!

That’s why this week’s quote made me laugh—literally—out loud. So. Stinkin. Relatable!

Sure, we should all probably be responsible and remember to answer our texts right away 😂

But let’s be real. When your mind is constantly thinking about making sure the kids did their homework, the dog has food in the bowl, college applications are in, meeting those pressing work deadlines, and…is there anything in the fridge to eat for dinner tonight?…it’s kind of a LOT.

I get it—sometimes the details (and our manners!) can fall through the cracks. But it’s also important to give yourself a break, laugh it off, and move on to the next thing.

Your Action Step: Don’t take yourself too seriously! We’re all human—of course you’re going to miss something in the busyness of life. When you do, shake it off, laugh a little, and then let it go. 

(And then thank the person for their grace when it took you five days to reply to their text!)

Two things that make life so much better? Learning to laugh at yourself and giving yourself grace. We all need it 🧡

With love,

Jamie
