Need a pick-me-up? I did. Now, my advice to you. You may either a) Just look through these, b) Go buy some balloons and blow them up, or c) Be inspired and do both. Do it. Being goofy = best 15 minutes ever.

OUR DAILY INSPIRATIONS

Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep out alone under the stars. Learn how to drive a stick shift. Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back. Say no when you don’t want to do something. Say yes if your instincts are strong, even if everyone around you disagrees. Decide whether you want to be liked or admired. Decide if fitting in is more important than finding out what you’re doing here. Believe in kissing.

  • //super fun night tonight. Spike the Hedgehog and Ash the Cat finally meet. It might get poky.
  • //even though I yell at them for being on screens, I do love hearing them giggle at YouTube videos that they watch of #peoplefails. #snowday #lifewithboys
  • // discussing failure. Baseball is a huge part of this conversation of life...those opportunities to fail there are pretty abundant. Translating that into opportunities for growth is kinda hard. His dad talked about the Bible story of Jonah and him being in the position of opportunity to be swallowed by a big fish. What seemed like a disaster was necessary. Stress caused him to do different and be different. It's hard when you wonder if you're good. If you're the right person or athlete for this; if you're in the right spot or good enough. It's such a mental game and it doesn't discriminate. Everyone goes there...but then what? The takeaways: be prepared to fail, and be ok to struggle in that tension to figure out how to grow. #spiritualgangsta
  • // did you know that this kid is a number 5? The first born son of the first born son, and so on, has carried the legacy in my husband's family of being a Robert. His name comes from the Middle Ages Germanic time and means, "famed," "bright," and "shining." • I've been learning about geneaology lately; how family lines mean something. How names have deep meaning and tell us where we're from, who our ancestors are, and what they've done throughout history. Our names have been born from emotions or what's happening at that time and are given purposefully -- they are much more than a simple melody on the tongue. • I don't know if we grow into our name or if it helps us know to whom we belong, but I know this: He is definitely a Robert, through and through.
  • // his hair. Magnifico, always. #lifewithewan
  • // we rescued something. We named him, "Ash," and now I fear my potty mouth husband will make his last name, "Hole." • I live in a frat house.
  • //morning meditation over coffee: take pleasure in obeying God. No dragging my feet, no defiance, no "but" as if I know more or better than Him. Just pleasure. Sweetness. Freedom. And obedience. #spiritualgangsta #thegreatestoftheseislove
  • // let the bartering begin. Between them, they have 23 lbs of candy and one kid has braces. Lots of trading out of Taffy and Tootsie rolls for chocolates. Holy moly. 🤢 #happyhalloween2018
  • //probably my last year of this with him. #5thgrade #halloweenparty
