What Not to say to a MOM

Taboo. Plague. Stay-away-from-her were the thoughts and feelings I had while going through the most unfortunate of relational events - divorce.  Not only is divorce devastating and painful, when kids are involved, the pain is indescribable.  I decided to turn my pain into something productive - an event to encourage other mothers to find resilience in their inner and outer beauty.  Beauty is power!  Yet beauty is the very thing we let go of during and after divorce.  This does not have to be…
