I’d like to introduce y’all to somebody I haven’t seen in a while…me. 🥹💕
Not Mom. Not Wife. Not the woman working, planning, taking care of everybody and checking things off the list.
Ashli.
Today is the first day in years that I can honestly say I felt completely like myself again.
I don’t even know if I realized how much of me had gotten buried underneath all the roles I’m blessed to have. And I wouldn’t trade those roles for anything—but somewhere along the way, I stopped making as much room for the woman underneath them.
This weekend reminded me that she’s still here.
She likes to laugh. She likes to travel. She likes planners and creating things. She likes spending time with her sister. She has ideas and dreams that have absolutely nothing to do with being somebody’s wife or mama.
And finding her again doesn’t mean I love my family any less.
It just means I’m finally remembering that I belong to me, too.
So hey girl hey. 🥹
I’m Ashli. And it feels really good to meet her again. 💕
