Evolving

When I first started this blog, I started it with the purpose that writing would help me get through what I thought was post partum depression at the time. My second visit my therapist asked me what it was that I enjoyed doing for myself. I couldn't answer her question. I didn't know what I was about aside from being a mother.

In the past few months I have grown as an individual oh so much! I have evolve into who I have always been yet been so afraid to look into or express. I have brought myself to stand up for my beliefs even if that means standing alone. For the first time in my almost 23 years of life I am comfortable in my own skin. I am me!

Part of this confidence in myself I owe to the time I spent exclusively breastfeeding my youngest. Don't ask me how or why, but something about it made me love myself in a new way. I enjoyed every bit of it. Looking deeper into myself I discovered the terms attachment parenting and gentle discipline. Terms I hadnt heard of, but that I very easily identified myself with. 

The more I looked into myself I discovered my passion for pregnancy, birth & motherhood itself. Thats how I came across the term doula. I looked it up and related to its description. I knew how nurturing I am and how something about a pregnant woman always hits my soft spot. I have over the past few months been researching it to make it a career and have been looking for reading material to prepare me. For once I have found something I truly love. 

I am only at the very beggining of my journey. I'm not changing. I'm evolving. I'm finally being myself. Take it step by step into my journey to live life in a more natural and peaceful way!

Until next time! Xoxo
