I've been a target my entire life. At this point, there's nothing anyone can say that will faze me. Bring it on!

With two kids it's hard to find down time to write so I often write during their nap time.

With friends, if you keep making an effort to reach out and you keep getting hurt, you eventually stop trying. But it's much harder to give up on family. Somewhere deep down you want it to work so badly that you keep making the same mistake over and over again.

My mother is who she is. I've become who I am. At some point I realized those two just didn't go together.

I wasn't truly comfortable with myself until I was about 30. I spent so much time and energy wondering if I wasn't worthy, and trying to find people to validate me, instead of validating myself.

Its always when you think that youve lost a little of the baby weight that someone steps in grabs a handful of a now sans baby soft belly and asks the inevitable When are you due?

I just want to have a great relationship with my child and have a great family dynamic.
