This year, forgive…
When you’re struggling to build your family, it’s so easy to get caught in a cycle of judgment. We judge ourselves for not being “strong enough.” We judge our partners. We judge friends who mean well but say the wrong thing. Sometimes, we even judge life itself for being so unfair.
This journey can send us into panic and desperation, riding an emotional rollercoaster that takes our self-esteem up and down. And before we know it, we’re stuck in the blame game—blaming ourselves, others, or anyone in reach.
As we enter the holidays, we want to invite you to think about forgiveness—not as some grand, sweeping gesture, but as a gentle starting point. Forgiving ourselves for not being perfect. Forgiving others for fumbling their words or not understanding. Forgiving the idea that this process has to look a certain way.
Take a moment to recognize just how much you’ve already carried. Remind yourself that you’re human, and you’ve shown tremendous strength in simply continuing forward, no matter how hard it’s been.
And one more thing: please forgive us, too. We know we haven’t always been everything you needed this year.
💔Sometimes your messages went unanswered, or took too long.
💔Sometimes a program, a post, or a speaker didn’t land right.
💔Sometimes our words might have hurt when we wanted them to comfort.
For those moments, we are deeply sorry. Our intention has always been to hold you with love and remind you that you are seen and not alone.
Xoxo,
Aimee
