Days have a way of filling up with all the shoulds, have-tos, and must-dos. Before we know it, our own wants and dreams get pushed to the bottom of the list.

I remember needing a permission slip for school field trips and extracurricular activities. Someone else had to say it was okay for me to go.

Today, I decided to give myself a permission slip.

The truth is, at this stage of life, no one else needs to give us permission. We can choose to make time for ourselves. We can choose joy, creativity, rest, adventure, or simply a quiet moment with a cup of coffee and our thoughts.

Today, I signed my own permission slip.

Maybe it’s time you signed yours.

You have permission…

…to begin again.

…to change your mind.

…to outgrow the expectations of others.

…to protect your peace.

…to say no without guilt.

…to dream bigger than you did yesterday.

…to learn something new at seventy.

…to lift weights.

…to write a book.

…to start a business.

…to laugh loudly.

…to rest when you’re tired.

…to become stronger.

…to disappoint people who expect you to stay the same.

…to choose yourself

….to create a life that feels like your own.

….to do something that nourishes my soul instead of simply checking another box.

And above all…You have permission to believe that your best chapter may still be waiting to be written.

 I’d love to hear the one thing you’re giving yourself permission to do.
