Hello Mops Mamas! It was wonderful to see you this morning and we missed those of you who were unable to make and praying those feeling ill will be on the mend soon.
Today's talk (from both Lauren and Tricia) was packed full of wisdom, encouragement, vulnerability and gave us mamas a chance to authentically connect. I took away many important points that I hope to keep as a part of my daily internal talk/encouragement when self doubt or frustration sets in. A reminder that we can't do it all (the butler, the maid, the chef, the hostess, etc...), but that we can choose to do one thing well and focus on that. Our gifts/choices as mothers may be different from one mama to the next; comparison and judment are void when we make this acceptance. I loved the encouragement that God made each of us and for that very reason we are special; seeing our children in this very same light is priceless.
What does success look like this day in age where we are expected to be running the top and bottom floors (as Tricia shared) and how do we compat the need to acknowledge the failures over the triumphs. Because let's face it, every day is a triumph even when it involves diapers and cheerios. Our children are our gift - and we are theirs.
Wishing you a wonderful week ahead and till next time...
Annie
