Oh my you aren’t kidding. It’s taken moving 4,000 miles away and stripping myself down to the core to rid myself of pride, envy, gluttony, and the whole dang host of deadly, toxic sins that used to (and still try to) corrupt my dreams and aspirations. Thanks for saying what’s in your heart – keep it coming!

Perfect timing and beautifully written! Friends are truly precious and a true gift for sure! I think that’s why I’m even more amazed at how God brought the #bigdealmoms together. We all just “clicked” and knew it was “right.” Well, and you keeping us laughing helps…but you keeping it “real” helps even more!

And, I love that picture SO. MUCH!!

Ahhh, the Berlin Wall. We (women) really can form walls, can’t we? I’ve made it a continual commitment of mine to strive for honesty and humility in my friendships. I can truly say, there are too many moments in life I wouldn’t have made it through if not for my friends!

I love this picture!

As to the point of your blog, I feel like the old word from church explains this whole phenomenon, “Testimony”. Not only can you have testimony of your faith, but Testimony of what its like to be a depressed, scared, crazy mommy who would really like to take a bath, by herself! Hearing each others struggles and successes only makes us mroe hopeful. Knowing we can speak about our own hard times without being judged makes us not feel so alone. So preach on cousin.

We all have struggles. It’s so incredible to have the support of women from all different walks of life. I know I’m not alone and I appreciate that. Not that I wish these things on anyone, because I don’t.

Great post!! It’s so true. I did a couple of posts early on about my struggle with depression and it helped me to write it out and read the comments. I had to take them down and I’ve not posted about it since bc my husband…well he didn’t like it. He didn’t say this, but he(with some good reason) feels like it reflects on him, so he was quite defensive about it. Even though the posts didn’t mention him.

Oh well. It still helps me to read others. Love this post and it was good to see you again!

Wow, this post touches me in so many ways…(no, not that kind of touching!)

There are so many posts that I have half written, only to never post because I’m scared of what others might think or say, or how it will be perceived.

I’m going to finish one of those posts and get it up soon, if I don’t chicken out. Thank you!!
