There’s no shame in needing help. Long ago, my mother pushed me in a stroller and took me to doctor’s appointments. Now it’s my turn to help her. I’m a #volunteer for @babybluesconnection for the same reason. I once needed help for #postpartumdepressionandanxiety, and later I used what I had learned to help other #parents on their own journey as #newparents. Baby Blues Connection does such important work. Please support us on #giveguide2019. ❤️Kendra @karysmabirth
Yesterday anxiety and overwhelm had me feeling very unsafe. It felt like I would never be able to do right by anyone, myself included. I missed my dad more than I can articulate. Today’s a bit better, after a good night’s rest. Last night, Saryn spiked a fever, so we all rested and ordered pizza for dinner. I felt #safe again after showing my baby girl and the rest of my family that that they are safe with a lot of snuggles and TV watching. #doeptober2019 #inktober #artistsofinstagram
Trying out #inktober2019 with #doeptober2019 prompts. Today’s prompt is growth. Growth isn’t easy or fun most of the time, but it’s usually worth the effort when you come to the other side.
Today, I'm grieving. My beloved, kind, funny father passed away suddenly and unexpectedly yesterday morning. As much as it hurts to think about a world without him in it, I know that he was so proud of me and the work I'm doing in the world, so today I honor him with my grief and with my work. He was a servant at heart and he had a way with words that he passed on to me. #writer #healer #karysmabirth #grief #birthtrauma #chaplain #daddysgirl #gonebutnotforgotten #preacher

I’m helping Karys get ready for Girl Scout Camp. No phones are allowed, so we’re going old school for taking pictures. I remember how miraculous digital photos were when they first came out. We used to have to wait weeks before we could see how pictures came out. Do you remember waiting for your pictures? Today’s kids will never understand.❤️. #karysmabirth #rememberthetime #takemorepictures #digitalphotos #girlscoutcamp
