Being brave
Somehow my little baby twin soccer girls grew into grown up teenage soccer women who are trying out for their high school soccer team this week and it’s been stirring up alllll the emotions in our house all summer (Inside Out 2 hit a little too close to home for all of us 😭😭😭). They have loved this sport since their shin guards were as big as their entire legs and I have grown to love and learn so much about it through their eyes ⚽️🏃🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️ (sidebar: what if the ball to human ratio really matched these emojis? 😂😂) Last night we watched a documentary on Simone Biles and even though she’s in a different sport, it was so inspiring to see how she’s taken care of herself and her mental health as well as her physical health and how even when things don’t work out how we want we can keep rising up again and again in life. I’m grateful for powerful (female!) voices like hers for my daughters and me and all of us to look up to. And here’s to stretching and putting yourself out there to do brave things and reach for your dreams 💫 🙏🏻 👊🏻 ❤️
