I want you to know that you don’t have to do it all on your own.

The dishes, the laundry, the grocery shopping. There is a lot that you do to keep your world spinning smoothly. Cleaning out the garage, wiping down the counter, remembering to take out the trash. The list feels never-ending. There is also getting everyone where they need to be. Planning for the next troop meeting. And trying to lift that side hustle off the ground that you are so passionate about.

I see you over there in your corner of the world. I see how hard you work. How much you show up. How you make so many things happen and most of it occurs behind the scenes. You give and you give and you give, never really expecting much in return.

You are a freakin ROCKSTAR.

But here’s the thing. I know that the weight of the world feels like it is on your shoulders. You are carrying all of it and picking up more boulders along the way. But you don’t have to be doing that. You don’t have to carry it all alone. It’s ok to let the dust and laundry pile up. It’s ok to take a break. It’s ok to ask for help.

I know it’s hard. Hard to reach out. Hard to let go. Hard to give someone there own time to do something that you would have done in half the time.

But all that responsibility isn’t yours alone. There are people who will help if you ask. Some will do so willingly others may take a little more coaxing. And there are others who can do what you are trying to do even better. Let them jump in. Let them help. Together we can do more. You don’t have to do it all alone.

You deserve to fill your tank. You deserve to rest. To ease in. To simply just be. You deserve to see how things can go beyond what you ever thought they could be when you have the right people in place doing their part.

We need each other. We need to reach out and to lean in. Go ahead, take that first step today in asking for help and easing some of the weight you are carrying.
