BrokenBrownBelle: “The other side of my infertility” Part 2

If I knew then, what I know now, I might have never started this fight. My story is just what I described in previous posts, and to be honest I’d spent [...]

Transparent

The transparency for which this blog has gained its momentum is not as easy a feat to uphold as some may think. It is dreadfully hard for me to decide what to share boldly, and what to let fester in the corners of my mind for fear that I'll run you guys all away.

LOL I know how I want to help, or where there is a void, and I jump headfirst into it. I started this blog almost a year ago to pacify a [...]
