What September Taught Me.
hop on over to instagram and fill this out with me!
ONE: We care way too much about the opinions of people who probably don’t even give us a second thought.
It’s not worth it – do what makes you happy, and don’t steal your own happiness by worrying what anyone else thinks about it.
TWO: Literally no one can argue that this year hasn’t been terrible…BUT there’s still a lot of joy hiding around.
I remind myself of this constantly every time Jack does something that makes me laugh. Joy is still there.
THREE: A good book and a strong cup of pumpkin spice coffee fixes (almost) everything.
If you haven’t tried Target’s brand of pumpkin spice coffee yet, DO IT.
FOUR: Just because you’re not where you thought you would be doesn’t mean you’re not where you’re supposed to be.
Trust the process, trust yourself, trust life. Grow where you’re planted (me, to myself, every single day).
FIVE: Getting to walk through life – even the bad stuff – with family and friends is such a privilege.
It is truly the greatest privilege to get to walk through this life next to the people I’ve chosen to walk with. Canceled weddings, pregnancy announcements, heartbreaks, lost jobs, all of it. It’s an honor to link arms and say “I’m still here, let’s keep going.”
Your turn – What did this month teach you?

Love these posts. I have definitely been trying to focus on the joy that we had this year despite everything going on!
Amen to that, friend.
Four and five… so true. I think this year has really beat us up but it’s also made the silver linings and rainbows in our lives a little more obvious and appreciated 🙂
Amen to that!
Love these posts so much and honestly need them. 2020 has been interesting and while it’s been a dumpster fire, it’s also had some pretty great moments.
That’s kind of just how we have to look at things now, isn’t it?
This year has really made me re-think priorities and how much head space I’ve wasted on other people’s opinions. There will always be someone wanting to rain on ones sunshine and I’ve given myself permission to avoid them (and NOT feel bad) for putting myself and my happiness first.
You and me both! Personal happiness over people who pull you down, ALWAYS!
