It was something I had never done before. One of the things that I learned about myself was that I hate housework. So I hired a housekeeper. Best money I have ever spent!

Jackie – thank you so much for your honest and vulnerable thoughts. I’ve had the same struggles you’re describing with the people I’ve lived with in the past – and it’s so interesting to me that I still feel some of those same struggles with my own self. It’s reaffirming to me that grace and kindness are key. For ourselves, for our people, for our world. And yes, how lovely to get a head start on loving that Me you have now. xo

Thank you so much for writing it from a neutral perspective and then bringing it around to that you are a mom. I struggle a lot with holding down the fort at home with my husband, who tends to leave the pile of clothes on the floor for much longer than I would like, and with a two year old who loves to spill everything. I struggle with the repetition of having to do things over and over but then I protest and don’t do anything for week. But slowly, I’ve come to terms with these tasks that fall on me whether I like it or not, and I do give myself a lot of grace. This has helped me to keep my home from crumbling but also means that I’m not cleaning or picking up all day long and can have some time to myself. Can’t even imagine what it would be like to live completely alone in a couple of decades… this is such a great article to start thinking of that Me now.

Sometimes, we forget to love ourselves. We can love more, grow more if we are nicer to yourself.

I need to do better about that and be nicer to myself.
