If thereâs one phrase I repeat non-stop in futility ever since the day I became a mother, it is this: slow down, slow down, slow down. I catch these little glimpses of pure joy, things I used to pray for and dream about, and Iâm living them. Iâm living way better versions of them, in fact! And itâs wild and unexpected. Time is more precious than ever to me, and only becomes more so as the days go on and more memories are made with these two girls I get to call my daughters. *cue âSlipping Through My Fingersâ by Abba* And right now, Iâm lookinâ over at my girl Quinn, because sheâs 1 today. ONE. You only get to be a 1 year old once in life. I did it, you did it, and these are the kind of days I need to catalog and pin into my memory. Iâm going to tickle her and let her hands absolutely obliterate a tiny cake and carry her around and tell her how much I love her at least 400 times. [image] She is a gift to us! Her peaceful presence, her innate contentment⦠she brings us all warmth and grounding every single day. Like a bear hug became a human. And my oh my, I love how she looks like my dad! (Not everyone sees it, but I sure do!) And in the midst of the celebration and giggles and kissing all over her sweet face this morning, I felt this thought enter my mind: right now is truly all we have. I dream about the future all the time, and I canât help it, Iâm one of those dreamer types. But choosing to be present in this very moment, and learning how to make that a habit for myself, was one of the best gifts Iâve ever received in my life. That lesson, once it really sinks in, is priceless. Today, Iâm also one year older from that day I met Quinn. Iâve grown, changed, and created things I didnât know I could! And I believe it was only possible because I gave myself the gift of being in the present and savoring the juicy little moments as often as I could. And I bet Quinn would want you to do the same, so while she canât string sentences together, Iâm going to say thatâs her birthday wish. Find a moment, perhaps a little sunny corner, and let yourself be you for a minute or two. Be in your body and enjoy it for a moment. Feel gratitude for the years of life youâve had.
The growth youâve had in the last year! The unique way you move through life. Iâm proud of you! Of us! So, Iâll eat a GF cupcake in celebration of us today, too! And I know how much the little moments matter, so thanks for reading this and givinâ a few to me. :) Jenna P.S. Is it your birthday month, too? If so, biiiig happy birthday from us over here! Hit reply to let me know what youâre doing to celebrate so I can join you! [Unsubscribe]( Jenna Kutcher 340 S Lemon Ave #4227 Walnut, California 91789 United States
