Well it has now been about 9 months since my last post. Looking back I see that I did not achieve one of my goals for this blog. I wanted this blog to be a place to share my views on motherhood based on the research I have done and experiences I have had. In my haste to do the blog, I failed to give my research/evidence for my opinions. And now I can see why I was misunderstood. I also see that it was hard to have people disagree with me, because the people who did disagree were friends and people I had hoped would understand where I was coming from. Now I realize that there would be no way for them to know where I was coming from since they have not read what I have read or experienced what I have experienced. I assumed too many things. In trying to speak out against culture, challenge parents, encourage mothers, and throw everything into a spiritual light I took on too much at once.
So where does that leave us now? I still want to continue the blog, but I will be doing things differently. It will now be primarily a place for me to share my experiences and post any research articlies I have found interesting. I will let the research and experience speak for themselves and allow people to make their own opinions. I have much less time now days with two little girls, so my post will be fewer but I hope to continue the blog. For those of you who enjoyed my blog in the past I hope you will continue to do so!
