Be Brave

Some days you just wake ready to take on the day, with a spring in your step and a smile on your face. And then there are those days where you just don’t feel… enough. Maybe not strong enough to handle the pain, maybe not beautiful enough (based on what we gather from snippets of the twisted ideology of beauty), maybe not wise enough to make a tough choice, maybe not brave enough to face the day.

But you ARE enough. You don’t have to work to be enough, to be stronger, to be braver. Sometimes, we just need a reminder, and sometimes we need to be the ones reminding our own self.

Whatever you’re feeling today, here’s a little reminder from Skylar and I… I hope you take a deep breath and chant right along with us as a reminder to yourself, “I’m bold. I’m brave. I’m strong.”

Whether we feel ready for the day or wish we were hiding under the covers, when we feel up or down, when we know how much we’re valued and how much we’re loved or struggling with bravery in the face of our feelings … someone is always watching.

“In our rising up, our sitting down, and in any other wayside moments of the day, children pick up knowledge from our lips, our attitudes, our example.” Charlotte Mason

What do you choose to be today? My prayer is that you choose to be brave, because other good stuff will always follow.

(Can you tell that it’s 4am? I ran out of words.)

So much love, xo
