Not Nice Spice
I think everyone knows someone who you would readily deem a powerhouse. Rena is exactly that—she is determined to let God lead even when it doesn’t seem to go according to plan. I met Rena through a health and wellness group my sister in law runs. Even via social media Rena exuded a light from within and a good dose of humor through her authenticity. Rena’s birth story of her daughter Daisy shows that the road to motherhood doesn’t have just bumps and turns; sometimes it takes us onto a completely new street altogether. But the beauty isn’t always found in expected places.

I am beyond thrilled to have a handful of mamas come along and share their own birth stories. I was considering the order of stories to share—just start with the order I received them or layer them based on how their motherhood journey began—but I decided to just roll with my heart strings instead. On my mind the past few days has been sweet Angelina. I met her through a health and wellness accountability group my sister-in-law runs. We’ve never even met in person, but she was always incredibly lovely and encouraging, had a crazy nurse’s work schedule and managed to love on her family and others in a beautiful way. I absolutely love her story of motherhood and adoption.
On the eve of my daughter’s third birthday, Stud and I were not so much nostalgic as we were proud of the parents we have become. Sadly, we couldn’t always see her essence, but as I looked over at her eating lunch being a wiggly little goat my heart swells. Three years ago we were two naïve newlyweds, aghast at the turns life can bring.
