This year has been very difficult for me. I had a very very challenging pregnancy, that was complicated by other major heath issues, and unfortunately while dealing with all of that I was let go from my job while on medical leave. My husband and I grew stronger as friends and lovers during this ordeal; we have always been very close but living in a state of crisis for months caused us to really live in the moment and to be gracious and grateful for all the simple blessings. We learned to truly live in the present! Even through all the pain, and physical anguish that my body was in, I tried to seek out joy…wether it was watching my kids have a dance party in the living room, sketching ideas for new art pieces, or watching the waves of my belly as the little-life that was growing inside of me stretched and moved. – Now, I am living in a state-of-bliss because my little girl was born 100% healthy (and gorgeous)…and I am slowly on the mend too. I am so thankful for all of my amazing friends and family for all of the LOVE that poured in daily. <3 xoxo
