Smashing the Glass
I often feel like people don't realize you're depressed unless there are obvious signs that you're crying out for help... like if you aren't partaking in self harm, substance abuse, isolating yourself... etc, that everything in your life must be completely fine and you've totally got your shit together.

To the Woman Who Lost Her Daughter...
I don't know where else to write this, but I feel it needs to be put out into the universe. The other day I went for a motorcycle ride with my boyfriend of 9 years. He and I dropped our two babies off at my friends house and went for a cruise out to visit my boyfriend's dad. On the way back home, we stopped at Walmart to pick up some much needed items, things that we had been putting off buying all month, and met up with my boyfriends riding buddy.

Toddlers, Trials and Tribulations Part 1
Toddlers are a breed unto themselves. They have newly discovered that they are in fact independent of their parents, and so they act accordingly. Once a child as young as one year old realizes that they have control over the world around them, they start to test their limits, quite ruthlessly at times. This is the time in life where the “terrible twos”, “the trying threes” and the “forgetful fours” find their place in the world.

Planning for Pregnancy, Fertility Facts and Alternative Methods. Top Story - August 2017.
When it comes to reproduction, fertility is the number one focus for many. Some people aren't able to conceive naturally. Studies have shown that one in seven women will have problems with infertility. This can be caused by numerous factors such as an underlying health condition, a poor diet, an unhealthy lifestyle, stress, depression, anxiety or even the smallest encounter with a toxin like fluoride {which is found in most toothpaste as well as drinking water}, or BPA{ a toxin found in plastic bottles and the inner liners of cans used in the packaging of canned goods}.
