Happy Birthday Mum
Hey everyone,
Today is my Mum’s birthday :) I can’t believe she has been gone for almost a decade. It’s always a little tough each year, but I know she is looking over me.
This is a good reminder to be grateful for all of those close to you. It’s really a blessing.
Let’s get into it:
January is a full on birthday month in my family. Celeste, my Mum, my father-in-law, and myself. It’s a busy one!
Because I worry about the future a lot, sometimes I just have to tell myself, “I’ll cross that bridge when I need to.” This allows me to focus less on trying to plan for everything and more on what is in front of me.
It still surprises me when I see people who appear to be doing so well in terms of accomplishments and other achievements admit how much they’re struggling.
It’s a reminder that the social media lens doesn’t paint the whole picture.
You’ll get everything done that you need to. Trust in yourself.
Keep track of your wins each month, even if it is just 1-3 things. This list is always good to reference when you’re feeling behind or need an extra boost!

Loved this one. Number 3, that social media lens, is all too real!
