To the mom who’s escaped to the bathroom for a moment of solitude, tears streaming down her face…
To the mom who’s so exhausted she feels like she can’t even think straight, wishing for just a moment to lay down and recharge…
To the mom in her car, sneaking bites of food because she doesn’t want anyone to see what she’s eating…
To the mom curled up on the couch, feeling the weight of guilt after raising her voice at the kids for something insignificant…
To the mom squeezing into those old jeans, hoping to catch a glimpse of confidence in the mirror…
To the mom reluctant to step outside because life seems overwhelmingly chaotic right now…
To the mom ordering pizza yet again because dinner plans fell through…
To the mom feeling isolated, whether surrounded by people or alone in a quiet room…
You are enough.
You matter.
You are worthy.
This stage of life can be a tough, wild ride for us all. It’s hard. Really hard. Many of us share in these struggles, even if we don’t always voice it. You are not alone.
You are enough.
You are doing your best.
Those little eyes gazing up at you see perfection. They believe you are more than enough.
Those tiny hands reaching out for yours think you are invincible, capable of conquering anything.
Those mouths enjoying the meals you provide see you as the greatest because their tummies are satisfied.
Those hearts that connect with yours desire nothing more than your presence.
Because you are enough. You are more than enough, Mama. You are extraordinary.
