I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching this past year (well three years, rather) when it comes to self-image. I’ve been relearning how to love myself the way I am.

The dark side of having a baby that I was not prepared for was Postpartum Depression as a military spouse; especially when your service member is away.
PTSD Awareness: Supporting Our Heroes on the Home Front
When the brave men and women of our Armed Forces take the oath to defend our freedoms, they are committing their minds and bodies to protect our nation at all costs.
