Got Milk?

So any of my friends or family that know me well know since having Bryn know how determined I was to exclusively breast feed her and I was successful at that and still going.  I am so excited to start on a new venture as a Lactation Specialist working for the health department here in Mississippi.  My job will be breast feeding education, support, and issuing pumps.  I am looking forward to this job since I am passionate about mothers nursing and now I get to educate others about the benefits.  When I think about how God created our bodies to make this perfect food for our babies it amazes me what are bodies are able to do.

I Am Not My Hair

Well to those who haven’t noticed I recently in January cut all my hair off (See my profile pic).  This is the shortest my hair has definitely been in my life and I never thought I would have the guts to do it.  I had been talking about cutting it for years and finally did it.  My husband was supportive and gave me the ok even though I was scared he would hate it.  Most of my friends and family miss my long hair and are having a hard time adjusting to the new look.  I cried and thought I was ugly at first and even felt hurt from comments that people made but I realized that I can’t worry about what others think.  Since cutting it has truly made me reflect whether we place beauty on the wrong things.  I feel like people don’t like my haircut because they felt my long hair was so beautiful but what I learned about myself is I am still the same person and it’s just hair and it can grow back if I want it to.  I felt as if my hair was defining who I was and I don’t want something physical to define me, my character or beauty.
