After weeks of rearranging and re-organizing and redecorating, I’m finally sitting down in my reading nook in a new oversized West Elm chair that I scored for $40 on Facebook marketplace lol.

I’ve been processing a lot of feelings since last week.

Grief over missing my parents and siblings as they do missions abroad or pursue dreams in other states. I’m so dearly happy for them, but I also wish they were close to me and my kids.

Mourning over going no contact with family and putting up new boundaries even though it hurts like hell.

Loneliness as I grapple with feeling disconnected from the church body, but not really understanding in full why I do and working through how to manage it.

Oh yeah, this was all happening during my little luteal phase as well 😅

There’s been so many things running through my head and I’m tired. But progress has been made both externally and internally and faith has been strengthened.

My brain already feels lighter without the mind numbing distraction of social media.

I’m not sure how long I’ll be off but for today, I’m happy to have the voices in my head narrowed down to mine and God‘s.

This little stack here has been better than scrolling already.

Goodnight MomStack
