Dear Loss Mama | My open letter at Scottsdale Mom's Blog

I'm pretty excited to announce that I am one of the new SMB contributors for 2016. This isn't really an accomplishment, simply a way for me to reach a lot more mamas out there who need to hear (read) the healing words and wisdom that I want to share with them. I had initial reservations about the time commitment involved in being a contributor, but it turns out its pretty negligible and mostly a lot of girl fun.

Luckily everything worked out and our leader has been so good at communicating with me outside of the group #facebookquitterproblems. Below is an excerpt of my open letter contribution post at SMB. Please read and share!

Thank you reading and for choosing to heal! This is me choosing hope and healing.
