Do you have a hard time taking pictures of yourself? In this day and age of social media, there is so much pressure to have that “insta-worthy” photo, but I want to challenge you today to ask yourself – what does it look like to get in the picture of your life? This episode was initially shared  back around Mother’s Day and whether you are a mom or not, sometimes it can be hard to get in the actual picture! But you know what, YOU are a gift in this world and those around you need your presence!

 

Listen, I know life can be crazy and maybe you’re running around at a hundred miles per hour, but it’s those moments of presence that will truly leave an impact. It’s those moments of sitting on the front porch together, running around in the yard, jumping on the trampoline, or  joining in the laughter that make up the moments of life. And friend, I don’t want you to miss it! Maybe you let those dishes sit there a little longer or wait to fold the laundry to make sure that YOU TOO get to be a part of the moment. 

And then, take it a step further. CAPTURE that moment! Some of my favorite photos are where we all look a little disheveled, but you know what, we were also full of joy! Life is full of “ordinary” moments, but those are the beautiful moments. Sometimes the best photo is the one where all the personality is showing through. Now that is real life.

As women, we have the privilege of bringing forth life. Your presence, your words, and your actions are full of potential to give life to those around you. Whose life have you chosen to bear witness to and participate in? Who are you calling up with your words of affirmation and courage? Whoever is in your circle, be present and make the memory. Your life is a gift and it leaves an imprint on those around you. I hope you celebrate you everyday, but more importantly, I hope you get in the picture! Let me know in the comments, what is one of your favorite pictures??
