Welcome to my blog. I write about my parenthood journey.
This year, as the calendar circled back, it was as if time had gently reminded me, "Here you are, again, on this significant day." I couldn't help tracing the date with my fingertips, even grabbing a pen to circle it, as if marking it would somehow make it feel more real or significant.
6 years since I questioned my very existence 6 years since my whole life completely changed...
It's six years now and every year your birthday is celebrated
The event this year saw a continuing recovery from participants who joined last year, healing journeys started, stories were shared for the first time, others for the second, third and others have been shared uncountable times. We believe sharing these stories is the beginning of healing, inspiring hope to those suffering in silence and is a great tool to engage in this maternal mental health conversation that has been previously ignored or if it was talked about it was often in hush tones and incomplete sentences. These stories are changing this narrative and many are coming out to seek for help and support.
Excessive crying was a part of my pregnancy with my second child. Something I never thought would be a cause for alarm that I was going through an emotional and mental struggle.
I climbed to mark my climb out of the darkness of depression and anxiety. Hiking Mt. Longonot for the second time as a mom was exciting for me. This time I was climbing for a cause that symbolised my struggle with grief, depression, suicide attempts, anxiety;and my journey to recovery.
Visiting a children's home taking in children below 4years at least once annually is our way of honoring Amani's memory...
The moment I spent with the children was the most tranquil moment I’ve ever experienced. I enjoyed feeding the young ones and playing with the older children. These children have so much love and their innocence is adorable.
I just bumped across this post in honor of Mother's Day from naturallynn.com Have a read and be enlightened like I have been.
