Thus far, my breastfeeding journey has been filled with many mishaps and learning experiences (sometimes embarrassing ones, really embarrassing ones) along the way but also many real moments of love and empowerment.

Because I understand how draining life’s challenges can be, I tend to refrain from sharing my difficulties with others. I prefer to allow persons to share their burdens with me so that I could help them in some way, however small, to lighten their burdens, even if it is just for a minute.

I am saying this because on the outside, people might think that my husband and I have the perfect relationship, but we really don’t. We have been through some things that have really tested our couple metal. There is so much I could share about our journey and the lessons we learned (and I will in future posts) but here is just a little snippet of our love story.

It sounds so simple yet it was one of the most difficult things for me to do all my life. I would say it took almost all my 32 years of life before I truly believed in myself. Also, it took some of the most challenging times of my life to get me there.
