something that’s really stuck with me? 💞

“we were never cups, we’re a well!” - words from Jesse of @movewithtruelove

we always hear “you can’t pour from an empty cup,” but what if there isn’t a bottom to the cup?

what if there’s this deep and infinite place moms tap into - this well - that love flows from again and again…

now, don’t get me wrong… I’m not saying we should run ourselves into the ground or lose ourselves in the name of being selfless (that’s not sustainable, and I’m learning that the hard way)

but it’s about asking for the help you need and finding what keeps your well replenished!

for me, that’s throwing on a cute outfit, doing my hair, moving my body on a beach walk, grabbing a little treat… and asking for the support I need (like looking into a babysitter a few hours a week since our family isn’t close)

also remembering this season is temporary and fleeting and beautiful in its chaos

because the well doesn’t just exist to give - it’s also where joy, rest, and love flow back in💞
