balancing act

Does anyone else get super overwhelmed by adding one thing to their never-ending to do list and then avoids everything at all costs… or is that just me?

As some of you may know by now, I recently got engaged to my high school sweetheart. Even though people say “you must have known it was coming” and they are right, I still feel like it’s so surreal. I’ve never even thought about what I might want for my wedding. I was never one of those little girls who dreamed of the perfect fairytale princess wedding scene. The questions and unsolicited advice are already flowing in.

I also recently started a new job with a different law firm. I was also not exactly planning on this change, but when a good thing falls in your lap, you don’t take it for granted. So I took the leap and I don’t regret it at all. It truly feels like the perfect match. I am preparing to take my paralegal certification exam in October 2021.

These are two new amazing things that I am so grateful to have in my life.

However, I also had just recently (& FINALLY) launched my art website and am working towards making my side gig of art and creativity into a real business.

Everything is falling into place. Exactly like I had always hoped and dreamed. So why the hell am I so overwhelmed? How do I balance all these things at once? How do I clear my mind and calm my breath so I can do all of these things and do them well?

I believe that whatever you have been given, you can handle.

You can do those hard things.

You can check off ALL of your boxes.

You can do those hard things and do them with grace.
