Hot Mess!

Who hasn’t woken up feeling like they’re auditioning for the role of ‘Hot Mess of the Year?’ Between the tangled hair, the to-do list that reads like a novel, and emotions that are swinging like a pendulum, it’s hard not to feel like you’re unravelling. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought, ‘Yikes, I’m a total hot mess!’—then this post is for you.

Okay, let’s be real: Who among us hasn’t felt like a walking disaster zone, an emotional tornado, or just a straight-up HOT MESS? Today, I’m right there with you, swimming in a whirlpool of overwhelm and juggling the needs of everyone around me. When life gets this chaotic, it’s way too easy to slide back into the ‘me-last’ mentality. Especially when your loved ones are struggling; their pain becomes your pain. So, what’s a girl to do when it feels like the universe is in a conspiracy against her?

Let’s pause for a sec and get some inspiration from my biblical bff, Ruth. She had her life flipped upside down—talk about overwhelming! But did she let her circumstances define her? Heck no! She laced up her sandals and got to work in the fields. And guess what? Her grit and grace didn’t just bring her a bushel of barley; they led her to love and legacy!

But here’s where we dial it back to us: Just like Ruth, we’ve got our own fields to tend. It’s okay to feel like a hot mess sometimes, but it’s crucial to remember that we too can channel our inner Ruth, our inner Action Taker, and make transformative choices. Pour into yourself, even when it feels impossible, because that’s when you truly need it the most. And remember, your ‘hot mess’ days aren’t stumbling blocks; they’re stepping stones to your next big breakthrough.

So, take that deep breath, and let’s turn this hot mess into a message, shall we?
