Some challenging seasons are meant to prepare you, strengthen you for what's to come.

How to be grateful in truly challenging seasons of life? This is what I wrote in the challenging season of losing my mother and having my first son in a matter of months: "Yet somehow, unexpectedly, through the throes of grief, I found strength. Strength for my own newborn baby when I held him in my arms, Gus. I had been presented with the highest form of gift. That I will hold in my own hands the small joys, the small moments, the moments that add up to a lifetime of love. My mother could never be replaced, but she lived on through me, and she will live on through my children.My hands have purpose now, just as my mother’s did, just as her mother’s did and hers before that." I wouldn't be the strong driven woman that I am today without walking through that grief. What a gift every moment is now.

Are you living up to your fullest potential right now? Is there something challenging going on with you? How could the future you see this as a building block to the foundation, the foundation that needs to be strong before you add more building blocks on top?

What is the best version of you?What does that person look like? How do they feel? Take a minute a write right down. How are you slowing down in a day? Try to fit in 3 conscious moments where you take pause and take in how great you really have it! (this helps, trust me, even through the darkest times) ⁠
