Right now: hot black coffee and a beautiful cool autumn, a teen at a sleepover and a goodie bag of homemade rocky road given to us after a dinner with friends.

It’s a dog on lap kind of morning.

And this is what I’m thinking.

We can be who we ARE right this second.

Let’s let our shoulders drop and be imperfect.

Be the one who has a hard time when she tries to change herself. The one who still criticises, or overeats, or drinks. The one who meant to start working out three months ago and has done it twice. The one who said the wrong thing and didn’t get the project finished (or even started).

It’s okay.

We are loveable right now, like we are: imperfect and trying. Human, like everyone else.

Yes, yes, we can do better, and we will keep on trying.

But for today — hugs to you right where you are.

This is where we begin.

Love, Catherine x
