Why It’s Dangerous To Shame Another Woman’s Feelings

October 12, 2015 By Lauren

Since I started blogging last April, I’ve tried to be intentional about what I choose to post about.  I never want to write in a way that seeks to incite controversy just for the sake of inciting it. It seems like the internet isn’t a safe place to disagree with people while still loving them so I’ve just avoided more opinionated posts.  But when I read 2-3 articles with similar messages over the last few weeks, I got a little upset.  So with all the grace in the world and knowing that not everyone will agree with me on this one, I decided to respond.

Here’s a very short summary of one of the articles (and the other two were pretty similar):  The author was out at a public place and overheard a pregnant woman talking to a friend.  The pregnant woman was sharing about her pregnancy and told her friend that she had cried when she found out they were having another boy.

Womanly Wednesday: A Guest Post On Eating Disorders And Second Chances

August 5, 2015 By Lauren

Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Womanly Wednesday!  This is one of my favorite parts of the week where different women bravely and vulnerably share their stories. This week, we have the honor of hearing from a lovely new blogging friend named Liz.  Liz writes about marriage, motherhood, and life over at Sundays With Sophie, and her blog is definitely one you need to add to your must-read list!   I love how bravely and honestly she is sharing about her journey of wrestling with an eating disorder, and I have a feeling you will too.  

Hi, I’m Liz!  This is what you know about me, mama to Sophie, and wife to Kyle.  I’m the sole writer of Sundays with Sophie.  Mama by day, blogger by night and wife on the weekend.  But, here’s something you don’t know about me.  Something that I haven’t talked about before, something I’m bravely telling the world.  I’ve suffered from both Anorexia Nervosa.  It happened quickly and quietly.  This is my story.
