Celebrating in sadness

Feeling very #SPRING in this outfit on this May Day 💚💗💛
.
Loved getting to celebrate a beautiful bride-to-be today…and also gave myself the grace to be gentle when I felt some sadness coming on 😥 goodness knows that even though I’m thoroughly loving my life, I’m also excited to get to be a bride-to-be someday 🙌
.
I didn’t let the sadness linger, because I’m not willing to give up my JOY 😃 but I’ve learned the hard way over the years how awful it is to try to ignore it or stuff it down 🚫
.
So, friends, if that’s something you’ve struggled with (how to acknowledge and process sadness 😔 without getting stuck in a pity party 😭), let me encourage you that it gets better and easier the more you practice 👍
.
Be intentional. Practice. Try again. And then do it some more. It WILL get easier. Promise 😉
.
Have grace. Give grace. Repeat.
.
And if this is something you want extra support with 👏 these are the kinds of things I equip ladies with in mentorship.
