One day my 12-year-old came home completely exhausted. Honestly, I never thought a 12-year-old could be that tired. Kids always seem to have endless energy.
I looked at her and said, "𝐈,𝐦 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭."
Without missing a beat, she replied,
"𝐈𝐭,𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧,𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭... 𝐈 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧,𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐭."
That sentence stayed with me.
We all learn our lessons in unique ways.
In 2023, I learned the same lesson. I realized that I do have limits, and if I want to go further and stay in this work for the long run, I have to respect them. I also learned something equally important—you can't build meaningful change alone.

If so, let's connect.
Whether it's about community building, holistic healing Inner Sensory Healing, storytelling Unity Through Diversity, fashion, gardening, baking, cats, or just life over a cup of coffee, I'd love to chat.
