Count to 10 & Welcome Home!

What if I told you that embracing your inner child—letting yourself be silly, joyful, and even a little foolish—is actually a sign of confidence, not weakness?

My friend, my sibling, when was the last time you let yourself be free? When was the last time you laughed until your stomach hurt? When was the last time you played—just for fun?

Count to 10 and Welcome Home!

Today, I want to have a real and heartfelt conversation with you. I came across this quote from Read Life Accurately by Sonia Choquette, and it really made me pause:

"Consider the intelligence of the 'mind my own business' model. It doesn’t mean you don’t care about others; it just means you don’t carry others."

This one hit me hard. Because for a long time, I didn’t understand the difference. I thought love meant carrying the weight of other people’s emotions, struggles, and experiences—especially when it came to my family.

So today, I want to share with you a personal story about when I had to learn this lesson myself. It was one of the hardest things I had to do, and maybe you can relate.
