If I were to sing something to you myself today, this would be it.

Because I have a pretty good idea that you could use a little break!

How do you know when it’s time to relax? Well, when you find that you are judging yourself harshly. That’s a big red flag.

Or when you realize that you are out of patience with your learning curve, or you just feel overwhelmed by anything and everything, or you’re just sick and tired.

No, you aren’t a horrible parent, a poor home maker or a failure of any kind!

In those moments when you feel disappointed in your abilities, chances are very good that you need some time to think and rest and recover from the Herculean efforts you have been making in your family life, day after day, week after week and year after year.

Please, please, make some time to slow down and give your best self a chance to shine through.

You have permission to slow down and breathe.

And remember; you are of worth, your feelings matter and many people care about you.

All my love,
