Yesterday wasnāt a glorious day for me. It started with something as small as picking an outfit. My husband, with the kindest heart, told me my jeans looked good on me. But as I turned around, I made a snarky comment. Why? Because those jeans, the ones he was complimenting, donāt zip up anymore. From behind, they look amazing. From the front? Not so much. . Postpartum has been hard. My body has shifted and changed after having two babies under two. I wasnāt fully healed when we found out I was pregnant with Huxley, and the toll itās taken has been overwhelming. . For a fleeting moment, during our family Christmas, I felt joy. I watched the kids bond, play together, and found myself excited about our upcoming Disney trip. But then came the car ride home. I cried - tears streaming down my face. I didnāt want to talk. I hated the way I looked in the pictures that were taken. I felt like a stranger in my own body. . When we got home, I told Jord I needed to grab groceries, but instead, I found myself driving to Rachel's Closet. Wandering quietly through the store, I tried to collect myself. I tried on a pair of jeans - hated them - and walked out of the fitting room feeling defeated. Thatās when Rachel approached me. . She asked how things fit. I mumbled, āMeh, it is what it is.ā But her eyes, they glowed with kindness and understanding. Without saying a word, her look told me, āYouāre leaving here feeling beautiful.ā I broke down right there and told her it was a bad day. And thatās when everything changed. . Rachel, with such compassion, brought Sarah on board. Together, they went above and beyond, staying open late just to make sure I left feeling like my best self. Their kindness wasnāt about the clothes, it was about their belief in me. Before I left, Sarah gifted me a coffee mug with the words āYou are loved.ā . That mug couldnāt have been more perfect for this season of my life. I am loved. I am here, in this exact moment, because my God and my guardian angels have a plan for me. I am exactly where I need to be. . This morning, as I sit here sipping coffee from that mug, Iām reminded that there are still kind-hearted people in this world who want to see you succeed. People who will meet you in your struggles and cheer you on when you feel like giving up. . To Rachelās Closet, Rachel herself, and Sarah, THANK YOU. Your genuine kindness and encouragement turned my day around. You reminded me of my worth, of the love that exists in the world, and of the strength I have within me. I will never forget what...

Ā Ā Ā Read moreRachel's Closet is my favorite place to shop. The music is so uplifting, and in addition to their wide variety of clothing, they carry clothing for girls. They also have loungewear and pajamas, swimsuits, some decor/gifts, devotionals, drinkware, gosh so many other things and of course accessories. Speaking of accessories, I was a giveaway winner! Oh my goodness I love all of these pieces! And you know what is funny? I wouldnāt have picked any of these for myself because when I look at jewelry I get overwhelmed and canāt picture what is in my closet and what will match. When I got home I realized every single piece will go with pretty much everything in my closet! Why? Because the ladies at Rachelās know their stuff and what to give that will be perfect for what is in your closet no matter what is in your closet. I was so excited to win something that I didnāt even care what it was. I would have been thrilled with the teeniest of prizesš I peeked in my bag when I got in the car and saw a bracelet and thought ohhh it is so pretty! When I pulled it out of the bag, I saw a couple of other things, pulled those out and there was still more in the bag! I not only won a giveaway but hit the jewelry jackpot! Thank you Rachelās Closet for the thoughtful and very generous gift. I highly encourage you to shop at Rachel's Closet. The staff is friendly and encouraging and they offer free styling. So if you don't know what you want or are indecisive, let them style you. They are good at it! You won't leave disappointed. Picture of...
