		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll admit, I spent all day Sunday crying my eyes out after my labor stopped Saturday morning and obviously has not picked back up yet.  I kept thinking, &#8220;But it was REAL! I dilated 2cm! I had real contractions! I should be holding my baby right now!&#8221; and then I would start crying all over [...]]]></description>

These past few months have certainly brought me closer to God, but I still feel like [...]]]></description>

Your acne, your hair color, the size of your hips and thighs, the way your nose is shaped. I, like the most of America, am guilty of all these things.

And it will only get worse.  Which, is why I&#8217;m glad I took a week off to figure out what is really important in my [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m beginning to feel dreams take root in my heart. Yes, writing is one of them still. But, more than that.

It&#8217;s because of you, you taught her that. I hadn&#8217;t really thought of it that way before, but it&#8217;s true. For the most part (ya know, aside for [...]]]></description>
