Life Update

The last couple of weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind.

I haven’t really spoken about it publicly yet because, to be honest, I’m still processing it myself. But I’ve been on a bit of a health journey lately trying to figure out what has been going on in my body and why I haven’t been feeling quite right.

Nothing dramatic to share right now. Just a lot of appointments, questions and a fair bit of uncertainty.

One moment that will stay with me for a long time happened during our Monat retreat a couple of weeks ago. Everyone was enjoying the retreat, relaxing and spending time together, and instead I found myself getting in my car and driving myself to ED because something just didn’t feel right.

Sitting there alone in the emergency department gives you a lot of time to think.

Your mind starts going in a thousand different directions. You start thinking about life, about the future, about all the things you normally move too quickly to stop and reflect on.

Health scares have a funny way of doing that. They pull you out of the busyness of everyday life and force you to pause for a second.

Most days feel like a constant cycle of school drop offs, work, after school chaos, dinner, washing, packing bags and getting ready to do it all again the next day. Life moves fast and you just keep going.

But sitting there that night (and over the next 5 days) made everything slow down.

And the thing that kept coming to my mind over and over again was my boys.

They are everything to me.

I already knew that, of course. But moments like that make you realise it in a deeper way.

My children are my number one priority. They always have been and they always will be.

I am completely obsessed with them.

Even when they are loud.Even when they are fighting with each other.Even when they ask for snacks for the hundredth time in a day.

Even when they drive me completely crazy.

Motherhood is wild like that. One minute you are overwhelmed and counting down until bedtime. The next minute you are watching them laugh or play and thinking about how lucky you are to be their mum.

This whole experience has reminded me how fragile and unpredictable life really is.

We spend so much time worrying about things that probably do not matter all that much in the big picture. What people think. Whether we are doing enough. Whether we are getting things right.

But when something shakes you up, even a little bit, it brings everything back into perspective.

For me, it always comes back to my boys.

Right now I am still figuring out the health side of things and taking everything one step at a time. But one thing I do know is this.

My children are my greatest priority in this life.

And they always will be.

Thank you for taking a few minutes out of your week to read this and sit in my little corner of the internet for a moment.

Life moves quickly and most of us are just trying to hold everything together while raising little humans at the same time. Lately I’ve been reminded how precious the ordinary moments really are. Our families, our health and the quiet moments we sometimes rush past without noticing.

If you’re in the thick of motherhood too, I hope this space feels like a small pause in the chaos and a reminder that you’re not alone in it.

I’m really grateful you’re here.

Until next week,
