Friends.

This is the time when our relationship, our connections, our community…change the day. Especially postpartum. Our people are our Lighthouses. Maybe you’re feeling more private and guarded, not sure exactly how to let people in. That’s ok. We’re all trying to figure out how to let people in. Forever. But that’s the key…ya gotta try. It may feel fumbly or awkward or even inauthentic. That’s ok too. It has to be ok. Sometimes life does this. But what’s on the other side of the clunky new “type” of friendship, is magic. It’s the difference between doing this parenting thing alone or doing it with friends (old or new) who are also making up this life thing as well.

We give people a gift to care for us. We give them opportunities to feel like heroes. And witness us becoming heroes. Hand them a soggy burp clothe, ask them to change out your interesting bathroom garbage can, change your sheets, and make you tea with more honey than you can handle. You’re all worth the opportunity to be here with each other. It’s what makes life feel like “ok, now we’re living.”
