late night conversations with myself.

Baby Girl,

It's okay to stand up for yourself, but you can't do it if you have to step on someone else to get there. Let that small stuff go. You don't always have to be right. So, let someone else think they are if it helps mend conflict. Don't be a mean girl. Be a forgiving girl, they sleep better at night.

Stop chasing things that you can find within your own beating heart or in the laugh of your son's play. Breathe and Listen. PRAY. Please stop forgetting to pray.

Read something wonderful during Hen's nap-time instead of always cleaning. You can deal with dirty dishes, but you can't go on smiling with a hungry soul. Make your well-being more of a priority. You are responsible for your own happiness. GO OUT AND GET YOU SOME.

Enough Diet Coke, girl. Seriously. WE BOTH KNOW HOW LONG AGO YOU BOUGHT THAT 12 PACK. It's shameful. Brew yourself some sun tea. It's summer for goodness sakes. You could even carry it around in mason jars. You know, write a novel about it.

Let go and let God. Did you catch the let go part? LET GO.
