I am struggling with the beginning of this piece because I don’t actually know where to start.  I have been thinking so much about what I do, how I do it, why I book up, what I provide, and how to be better.  I am usually triggered by something I read that gets my brai...

July 24th 2017 was my due date. But I know he would have been born today, actually right about now. As I was putting the kids to bed I had insane cramping, but my period wasn't supposed to be here for another three...
