A Simple Phrase to Repeat When in Doubt

I’ve been on maternity leave for about 2 ½ months. Despite the newest beauty that has entered my life, slowing down has been a challenge for me. I have these moments of asking myself:

What Do I Do?

It’s so funny how often in life we say “I Can’t Wait for X”…then we get “X” and we are like okay soooooooo what’s next! Oh,the joys of being a human. UGH! At this point I’m like listen “X marks the spot Ninjago”!

As I relax into this current season there are daily lessons that pop up. They come through the funny sayings oozing out of the little human beings living in my home (rent free). Lately my youngest son has been playing and shouting:

Obey Your Nonsense
