open invitation no. 29: shed all the shoulds

Posted byRuth AyresPosted inidentity

Be true to you.

There is no one in the world like you, and you are just the way you should be. When the year piles up, sometimes it can weigh us down and be heavy on our shoulders. It’s easy to think we should be different than we are. Take time today to shed all the shoulds, and relish in being you.

Unhurried. Finding the magic in the middle of living. Capturing a life of ridiculous grace + raw stories.

  14. At first it may not seem like I followed the prompt. To be fair, I didn’t actually read it before writing. BUT, it was better that way, because then Ruth’s prompt was more affirmation than prompt!

    I was inspired by Julie — to write about books. Thing is I don’t read nearly as many books as she does. But I do read a lot of picture books! And I love them! They are fantabulous, fun, inspiring, and all around great. So I decided I’d embrace me — the relentlessly positive kindergarten teacher, and share one of my new favorite picture books.

    Hope you enjoy my post, and the piece of PIE 😀
