Encouragement for moms

Dear Moms,

I clenched my phone deciding whether I wanted to make that phone call. My thoughts went to she's probably really busy. She doesn't have time. I will probably just be bothering her while she has other things to do. Instead on the other side of the conversation, I heard gratitude and excitement. It was a phone call that led to a play date. It was a time to get our kids together to let their imaginations run wild while we enjoyed adult conversation. Why had I been so hesitant to call? Why are we all so hesitant to stop by one another's houses? Why do we sit at home in isolation when we could be so much happier sitting in one another's company? Our houses are always clean enough for two little girls to have a tea party. Our kitchen table is always big enough to welcome a conversation over your favorite beverage.

I want to encourage you to reach out to other moms. They are probably just as lonely as you are some days. They are probably hoping someone will come knock on their door to enjoy someone's company. It takes a village. Go out and see what the world holds with all the friendships ready to be made. Go knock on someone's door and make their day by just saying hi. You never know where it will take you.
