We can do HARD things!
Mother’s Day can be a dreadful one for those who have lost or long to have a child. For me, its just another reminder (as if there aren’t enough already) of the chubby cheeks I don’t get to kiss, the little hands I don’t get to hold, and the small voice that I don’t get […]
Eating Disorder Part 4- Lost in Someone else’s body I have never been one to have a lot of friends- especially of the girl variety. I was never comfortable around a big group of girls. I had my few gems and I called it good. It worked for me. It was comfortable. So, […]
