As this year comes to a close | Project 365 {Days 35-44}

This blog is a part of my project 365 series. Documenting life and sharing too much, every day, for 365 days. For previous entries see the link at the end of this page. 

 

As this year comes to a close I'm blown away that only a year has passed. Time is just such a fascinating thing.  

Its been a year of change. A year of deep heartache. A year of perseverance. A lot of learning. And then a lot more lessons. It's been painfully humbling yet been brilliantly resilient.

Life is full of its ups and downs. Always has been - always will be. I haven't fully sorted out how I feel now standing on the other side of this particular storm- but I feel different. Very different. 

And as the dark clouds continue to pass I have finally had an opportunity to wipe my eyes and look at the world around me. It feels different. Very different. And I am humbled, once again, that no matter how impossible parts of this past year have seemed - we made it out alive - and we are so goddamn blessed.  

Of the many many things this year has taught me - one is pretty consistent : like it or not, I have absolutely no clue what the future holds. 

So here's to 2016.
I am ready for you.

St. Augustine Nights of Lights | #PBAP2015

 What is #PBAP2015? Find out in our post from earlier this year HERE

"Breastfeeding came very naturally to me. My baby needs to eat and it's my job to nourish her. It takes dedication and patience in the beginning but it's entirely worth it. There's no prouder feeling than nursing a happy baby. And there's something very powerful about yourself being everything your baby needs - food, warmth, comfort, and love" -Dana, mom of 1

 

 "Breastfeeding for me was the most emotionally and physically difficult lifestyle change but I was so determined to make it work for me and my daughter and it finally has! Being able to share the experience today with everyone was a really wonderful personal celebration in how my daughter and I can learn together and how far I've come as a new mom" -Kristen, mom of 1

 

 

Thankful this holiday season for an awesome group of women coming together to support one another and empower women everywhere. We're so fortunate to live in such an awesome and festive town! 

See you in the new year!
