Motherhood has a way of teaching us that we don't have all the answers. It's messy and unpredictable, but so is life. For the most part, I'm a survivor. I look at each day as an opportunity to grow and to learn. If you are reading this, then I guess you have become part of my journey to learn who I am, and who we are as a people.
