Motherhood is...
Hi there! I (Bryana), took some time to myself the day before Mother’s Day. I wrote in my journal and I though I’d share it with you. Right now I have a 2.5 year old and a 14-week old. This season is life is very much in the category of: “long days and short years.”
To all the mothers out there - I see you and you are incredible! To all those desperately wishing to be mothers and/or experiencing grief, loss, trauma - I see you and I feel deeply for you.

I'm a survivor of sexual assault.
I’m a survivor of sexual assault. The first time I said that phrase out loud I was in my 30s, over a decade after my assault. March is Women’s Month. All month on the blog we are featuring women doing incredible things around the state of MN. Today, I’m honoring all women. I am sharing a small piece of my personal story because, like women everywhere, we endure a great deal and often carry those burdens in silence.
