Maybe instead of asking or expecting more, what we really need is to let go of more. Let go of anger, past resentment, hurt, apologies that never came, love that wasn't reciprocated, childhoods that weren't perfect, ideas of what we thought our lives would look like. Maybe we should do more of just living right now in this moment, after all, it's really all we have.

So true

It's a job that came with no prior experience.

There are no days off, and no sick days.

It doesn't come with a paycheck, even though you're always pulling overtime.

The entire world wants to weigh in on your performance review.

It often requires functioning at a high stakes level while completely sleep deprived.

Despite giving it your all, there's constant questioning of your ability; if you're doing enough, if you're doing too much.

There's no one right way to do the job. And the job requirements are ever changing.

It's one of the toughest jobs out there, and once it starts it's never ending.

And... I love it.

I love being a mom.

Choose friends who are choosing you right back. Choose friends who are willing to get real in conversation. Choose friends who are making room for you at their table and willing to invest. Choose friends who lift you higher, let you relax—who make you laugh harder, breathe a little lighter, and come alive a little more.

Choose friends who don’t play small. Choose friends who don’t play games. Choose friends who pass on things like jealousy, and competition, and making you feel like you’re not quite good enough.

Choose friends who listen. Choose friends who make the first move when they can. Choose friends who are reciprocating. Choose friends who are giving. Choose friends who let you help them.

Choose friends who let you be yourself.

Choose friends who like you just the way you are, but never let you settle for less. Choose friends who encourage you to goodness, and push you down the right path.

They say you’re the culmination of the five people you spend the most time with, so you know...choose with wisdom. Choose like your heart depends on it because it kind of does.

Love,
Amy

I want to be a come-as-you-are-friend.

I want my friends to come as they are when we’re together. Rough day? Haven’t showered in a week? Going through something hard? Not feeling yourself? Perfect. Come as you are.

I want my friends to know they don’t ever have to censor themselves around me. You don’t ever have to say, “I hope this doesn’t sound bad, but…” Sound bad. It’s okay to sound bad around me. Come as you are.

I want my friends to know that I’m a safe place for them to erupt like a volcano, laugh like a lunatic, and cry their ugliest without ever feeling judged. I love you in all the ways and I don’t ever want you to quiet yourself around me. Come as you are.

I want my friends to know I’m here for all their controversial opinions. It doesn’t matter if I agree or I don’t, I’m here for your thoughts. Can’t post it on Facebook without a cat fight breaking out with an entire side of your family and also some strangers? PERFECT, I’m here for your unedited thoughts. Come as you are.

I want my friends to know I’m there for the middle place. Don’t have it figured out? Still in the woods? Stuck in a struggle and you’re not sure you’re way out yet? I’ll plop myself down in that uncomfortable place with you and pour you a glass of wine. Your mess doesn’t scare me. Come as you are.

I want my friends to know I’m there for their celebrations. Don’t tone down your successes around me. I want to shriek and clap in the front row of all your accomplishments. I want to get a text with the video of your son taking his first steps and I want a screenshot of the email that says you got the job. Come as you are.

I want my friends to know they can be “too much” around me. Be loud, be funny, be obnoxious, be crazy. I love you for all your too muchness. Don’t turn down the volume or edit the you out of yourself when you’re with me. Come as you are.

I want my friends to know they can be “not enough” around me. Be tired, be empty, be quiet. When you run out of gas and when you need a good long nap I’m still here. Come as you are.

I want my friends to feel completely free to be THEMSELVES around me. Be you. In all your tiredness, in all your loudness, in all your opinions (uncensored), in all your big feelings. Come as you are. Be you in your stained T-shirt and your dry shampooed hair or be you in your cute Instagram worthy outfit and recently whitened teeth. Be you. I want you to be you because that’s what friendship is all about: you being you and me being me and loving each other through it all.

Come as you are.

Love,
Jess

You can only be a people pleaser for so long before you lose yourself. you can only change your appearance so much before you don't recognize the person in the mirror. We hear all the time love everyone as they are in reality what we really mean is to make people into something we can love.

We started out being co-workers, became friends, and our friendship turned into sisterhood. We talk daily about personal struggles and achievements as mothers or as individuals. We want to share our experiences in everyday life with moms, dads, and just ordinary people who can relate to our stories and share other people's stories too. We want a safe space for everyone, with no judgment, where you can vent or come to get or give advice and tips. So we are excited to announce coming, soon we are starting Therapy Time! Coffee or Wine? So join our page, and listen to our podcast.
