Mama, you can SO do this...

Sometimes we need a love letter to ourself. A permission slip to say, yes, I can do this. I am doing this.

Well here it is. Mama, you can do this. You ARE doing it.
It doesn't matter if you show up tired, or hot or frustrated (although you may not have the most fun).
It matters that you showed up.
It doesn't (mostly) matter if you were late, or not quite at the time you hoped, or that it didn't go exactly as you planned (when does it ever?).
It matters that you showed up. You gave it your best.
And your best is the best you have to give on any given day. It may not be what you expect of yourself. It may not be what you think others expect of you. But it is your best, in the real world today.
Applaud yourself, mama.

Stop, and see the powerful impact you are having in the world. You are raising humans. It's not easy, but it's important.
Be a love letter to yourself. Show up with the knowledge you are doing your best. Tell another mama she is doing just great. Build community. Make friends. Share stories. You are not alone in this, even if in that deep dark hour of 4am where there are tears and deep sobbing cries, it feels like you are.
Be well, mama. You are doing better than you know.
