i want you to do something. i want you to picture me {im}perfectly. because real life is messy. my life is messy.
and you know what? i am not perfect. not even close.
have you ever? yes you have.
have you ever read or seen something where you just knew that the lovely woman had it all together?
and even though we know in the way, way back of our heads that they aren’t perfect, we still sometimes convince ourselves that they would never, ever have:
laundry that has been sitting on their couch for three days waiting to be folded and put away
or a floor that desperately needs to be mopped
or dishes that just sit and sit and sit in the sink
or children who throw fits
or a craft that went completely awry.
so many women seem to have it all together. but we really know that none of us do.
none.
and you know what?
that’s okay.
that’s more than okay.

because no matter how prepared, no matter how organized we are, no matter how much planning we have done, no matter how thoughtful we try to be, sometimes things just fall apart and sometimes we just fall apart.
that’s real life. and real life is messy. but it is also really beautiful.
i want to encourage, inspire and remind other women that none of us have it all together.
