Bye Bye Baby | My Missed Miscarriage

July 30, 2015

Depression | Seduction of Melancholy

December 15, 2013

I’m going to be honest with you: I’m not always the smiling the face you see in my pictures.  In fact, many days it’s such an effort being that person that it affects everything I do, right down to creating blog posts.  Sometimes it’s painful […]
