A moment for Michigan in the fall. ❤️ I shared a bit on my story yesterday - but in short, I’ve been burning from both ends of the candle for months. Depending on who you ask, even years. Sometimes I carry “busy” as a badge of honor, and tend to put alot of my self worth in the work I am doing, the projects I’m completing, the new offers I roll out. And before I know it, I’m left yearning for rest and time to remember who I actually am outside of all of this. My identity is NOT my work or what I accomplish. I am a wife, a best friend, a daughter, a sister. The work I do in my relationships will forever mean more. Over anything, I am God’s. And that is everything.
Don’t get me wrong, I love every aspect of my work. I love what I do, that’s why I push so hard for it. But I’m not serving anyone or anything to my best ability when I have NOTHING left to give.
So take it from me, your type 3 workaholic friend, pushing it that extra hour really isn’t worth much. Check on yourself, check on your friends, be the friend that’s always reaching out, and tell your people what you NEED. It’s a photo of some donuts LOL, but obviously to me it represents a rare moment that I took time to just be Jord. I love you so much. ❤️
