Dove Commercial

“We pretend to be perfect, that high heels are comfortable, and that we can handle anything that life throws at us. But there are times when we need a moment to remember that we are only human. And that's more then enough.”
I saw this Dove commercial a while back and I had to post about it. I love that all the people in the commercial were women… the gender that tends to internalize our stresses and tries the hardest to do everything perfectly.

I feel this way sometimes with Snazzy. Like I can take on EVERY job that comes at me,  little ones or big ones. Along with writing blogs, the accounting, marketing, designing, assembling, and printing, plus running a home…. it gets to be a lot. And I have to say no sometimes. (I hate doing that - but I do recommend others:) I needed to learn that I’m only human, that I can take a step back and breathe some of that Oklahoma air. I needed to hear that I CAN say no to a job that is going to put me over the edge on stress. If I’m stressed I won’t enjoy what I’m doing and that’s a bummer for me and for the bride I’m working with! I’m looking forward to staying BUSY, but NOT being stressed! Much to be thankful for. :)

Thank you for reading, I hope that if you are stressed… you realize you are only human. And you are enough!

Thank you also to my past AND current brides - you did not and are not stressing me out. :) You have been amazing, I’ve learned so much from you! I’m looking forward to keeping up with your married lives!
