“Get excited and enthusiastic about your own dreams. This excitement is like a forest fire—you can smell it, taste it, and see it from a mile away.”
~Denis Waitley

Today was a girlfriends’ day where I not only swapped out my comfy pajamas for a cute summer dress and boots, but I also indulged in a bit of culture by catching a play. The theater was stunning, with its architectural details whispering tales of history that left me in awe. Afterward, we treated ourselves to some famous barbecue in the next town, stuffing ourselves silly until we were groaning in satisfaction.

Yet, as much as I enjoyed the sophistication of the evening, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt mixed with longing. Part of me wished I could immerse myself in the performance without the distraction of thoughts about my kids calling for me. At the same time, I missed the chaos and joy of being surrounded by my family. I imagined myself dancing down Main Street with my friends, savoring my ice cream cone alone, but I also yearned to tuck my little ones into bed and tell them bedtime stories that filled their imaginations.

Yes, I was excited—still am—because they’re my dreams come true. They made me a mom, and every moment feels like a gift.

So today, I found a balance. I embraced both worlds—enjoying a night out with friends, appreciating the beauty of the theater, and savoring delicious food, but I also made sure to come home and dive into the warmth of my family. I played like I used to before my children were born, and then returned home to relish the reality that’s always been right in front of me.

Today, my worlds collided beautifully.
