"Motherhood has brought me many joys and insights, but the new perspective it granted me on the role ..." — Carre Otis

Exposing any subject that is unpleasant or controversial means risking judgment and making some people feel uncomfortable.

I delight in my family obligations, but they leave little time for breaks let alone quick trips across the country.

My days are jam-packed with carpools, classroom assistance, tending to chickens, dogs and seven acres of olive trees!

In the past, I often found that when I reached out for a fast cure it led me down a slippery slope of more medications, hopeful dependence on the next prescription and ultimately a much longer drawn-out illness.
