Yay! It’s Music Monday!!
I’m starting to LOVE Mondays because I get to share my favorite music with you! There is nothing like a song that moves you and stirs your soul….0r….Your Feet!
This week’s song is the beautiful Kellie Pickler’s “Don’t You Know You’re Beautiful”. This song has an obvious message for mommas. Not only can we relate because we once were the young woman Kellie is singing about, but more than anything we want pass this message on to our children. We always want them to know just how beautiful they are.
I have a question for you though…… Do You know that You are beautiful? We spend so much time making sure our children know how special they are, we forget how special we are. Right now you’re probably thinking, “Sure. That’s nice. But, not only do I not have time to stop and remember how special I am, I really am not that special. I take care of my kids and keep things running for my family day to day. That’s about it.”
So, let me ask you another question: If you fast forwarded to 20 years from now, what would your ’20 years older’ self say to who you are today? Do you think you’d tell yourself, “Yeah, you’re not that special” or do you think it would be something like “You Rock Girl! Day in and day out you make it happen. Don’t sell yourself short. Stay strong and make your life what you want it to be!”
Isn’t that what you would tell your children? To stay true to themselves and create something amazing with their lives? So…What makes you any different than your children? Just because you have children and just because you’re life is full of people pulling you here and there, counting on your support and guidance, does NOT mean that you have to stop living your own life.
Do You know who wants to see you succeed at life more than anyone else? Your Children! They believe in mommy more than anyone in the world. You are their Super Hero! And your win is their win!
Even more importantly, your children need to see you love yourself and win big in your own life. We’re moms, we know our children are sponges and that the apple doesn’t fall to far from the tree. So if they don’t see that You know you’re beautiful, They won’t know that they’re beautiful either.
Every time you start to forget just how beautiful you are, ask yourself, “What would I say to myself 20 years from now?” Because in your heart, you know. You know that you’re beautiful and that you have so much to give to the world. We just feel like it would be arrogant or self centered if we acknowledged it. But Damn It! You are beautiful and you should scream that out every single day!
I hope you enjoyed this week’s song! Make sure to share this with all the Mommas you that should be reminded just how beautiful they are!
Lots and Lots of Love!
