It’s been four weeks of back-to-back sickness at our house. Gastro. Then hand, foot, and mouth. Then just when we thought we were through it—another wave. The kind where the laundry piles up, the fridge is empty, and the to-do list looks more like a guilt list. My blog? Quiet. Inbox? Overflowing. My energy? MIA.
And if you’ve been here too—some version of it—let this be your reminder:
You’re not behind.
You’re becoming.
Becoming the version of yourself who gets back up, even after hard weeks.
Becoming softer in your expectations.
Becoming wiser about what truly matters.
Becoming braver for showing up anyway.
Sometimes the growth isn’t loud or shiny. It’s slow. Sticky. Full of detours and rescheduled plans.
But becoming doesn’t follow a perfect timeline. It follows your life—messy, beautiful, unpredictable life.
And if you’ve been daydreaming of feeling more like you again, but aren’t sure how to get there, I wrote something that might help. It’s called From Dreaming to Doing | A Gentle Guide to Your Future Self, and it’s all about small, doable steps toward becoming the version of you that you crave—not in some ideal future, but in the middle of your real, everyday life.
So if your tea’s gone cold again, if you’ve had cereal for dinner twice this week, if you’re holding it all together with a hair tie and half a smile—you’re doing better than you think.
You’re not behind, my friend.
You’re becoming. And that counts for everything.
Growth doesn’t always look like progress. Sometimes it looks like surviving—and that’s still becoming.
