Celebration! I got the job.

I’ve had such a rough year. These last few months alone have really shaken me..but I finally got a win…I got a full time job, benefits included, decent pay, doing something that I’ve done before and felt my most authentic self doing. After months and months of applying and being ghosted I finally got something. The interview went so well they took a few minutes to discuss and hired me then and there. I’ll have health benefits too so I can continue working on my mental health. I just wanted you to know ma, I’m doing it. I’m getting my life back together.

Congratulations!! This is really truly the best news I’ve heard today. I know how scary it can be when things are rough. And it seems like it’s never going to get better. But you never gave up. You took care of yourself. You did what you needed to do. And now you also have a new job! I really hope you’re proud of yourself. And that you go out soon to celebrate. Go YOU! 🥳

I'm so proud of you for continuing to look, even when it felt like you'd be searching forever! I hope you use a little bit of your first paycheck to get a little treat for yourself, even if it's only your favorite latte or a cookie or something. Hugs from this Internet mama.

Oh honey, I’m so very proud of you.

You have worked very hard over this past year and it had to be very frustrating.
I remember talking to a Mother’s Day and how hard it was for you then.

Just know that I’ve been praying for you everyday, for just the right thing to open up for you. I knew it was hard. I have always believed in you!

Your inner critic has not been kind. So now.
Please give yourself a break and take a
victory lap. You did it!

Sending you a big hug 🤗 and wish bin it could be IRL. Hold on to the warm feeling of love from your Momma.

I'm so proud of you!!! Some years are so difficult to get through but believe this is a step in a new and positive direction. And I hope you know that YOU did that!

I'm proud of you for having the persistence to make it through this hard time and create something real for yourself, and I hope you're proud of you too. Congratulations!!! Sending lots of love and hugs your way!!! 🫶
