It’s October, which means it is time for 31 Days again! I
thought about passing this time around because I haven’t had time to post
lately that I was just for sure I would be setting myself up for failure. But
then I remembered how much doing this renewed my passion for writing. So much
inspiration and so many new friends came through taking this challenge on that
I think it could be really good for me to join in again.

I fumbled between two topics, but have really felt God speak
to me on choosing the one I have. For the next 31 Days I will be writing on the
first year of motherhood. I am not sure if it will be lessons I have learned
from motherhood, experiences I have encountered, or what. I am sure it will be
everything that lies between. There is one thing I promise you it will be
though, and that is real. I am going to write for 31 Days on the first year of
motherhood and I am going to be real and unfiltered. I want you to know that
you aren’t alone, that the feelings and mountains you face, every mother faces
too. I want you to know there is no need to feel guilty for feeling certain
things because you aren’t the only one who does. I want you to know you’re not
the only one who thinks you are going to burst from all the love that is inside
of you. I want you to know the real and raw of motherhood. The dirty, the
messy, the ugly…but I also want you to know the beautiful, the breathtaking, and
the extraordinary.

Because that’s what motherhood is, extraordinary.

I hope you will join me; you can refer to the button for all
