It’s not an easy thing to start and keep an active blog, especially a public on (yes, they can be private). So why start (another) one? Well, when I became pregnant I felt that I hadn’t read a lot about how I was feeling. That led me to believe that perhaps there was someone else out there having the same experience. If I were to share my story, then that other person wouldn’t feel so alone.

I’ve also gotten a lot of strength, courage and emotional relief reading what others have shared. If I can be that for even just one other person, I’ll feel I’ll have paid it forward. I guess it’s the helper in me (which made me become a teacher). I want to share it all in the hopes that others can too me strengthened, supported, lifted and relieved. Cuz life can be tough but you don’t have to do it all alone.
