Halfway through 2026, I think a lot of us are simply taking life one day at a time. Today's post is some encouragement to give your heart a dose of happy. The kind you'd get from a hug... or a good laugh with a girlfriend. ❤️ Quick story. The last three weeks have been a lot. I came down with a respiratory infection on my son's birthday, and I'm still not quite over it. In the middle of that, we traveled to Phoenix and Reno for baseball. It was hot. It was busy. It was fun. It was exhausting. Every day was making sure the kids had breakfast, snacks, water, sunscreen, clean uniforms, enough sleep, and enough opportunities to make special memories. I happily ate the burgers and fries with them... while secretly missing my cottage cheese, slow-cooked oats, and giant arugula salads. I'm not complaining. I'm just tired. And if I'm honest, there was a little part of me hoping someone would say, "Thanks, Mom (or "Sis" or "Babe"). You're doing a great job." 😂 I laughed at myself as I wrote the above sentence. Because that's not usually how caregiving works. Women just keep the show running. We solve problems before anyone notices them. We carry the mental load - heck, even the physical load like coolers full of drinks and ice! We love hard. And then we wake up and do it all again. That's why I think we need to cheer for one another. And maybe... learn to cheer for ourselves, too. Quit focusing on everything you're not doing silly.😉 Pause long enough to notice everything you already are. The meals you've made. The appointments you've remembered. The people you've encouraged. The countless little things that no one else even sees. So if you need someone to tell you today... You're doing a fabulous job. You are strong. You are kind. You are deeply loved. We see you. Keep going. And when you need it... Take a bow. Then take a rest. 💚 💚 Consider this my little gift to you today: My friend and fellow health coach, Azul, shared a beautiful breathing practice inside the classroom
