My Pregnancy Journey

Let’s rip off the bandaid. When it comes to private matters, it’s not so easy for me to share. I want to be vulnerable and share because it’s so humbling that most of you take the time to care about what’s going on in my life. I really appreciate the patience and support. We’ve beenContinue reading “My Pregnancy Journey”

All decked out with a birthday cap and bandana. Poor dog. Too bad none of you are here to enjoy with us. So….How do I tellContinue reading “How do I tell others how I hear?”

Hearing Aid Insecurities: Overcoming it

We all have dealt with body image insecurities growing up. But there’s another part of me that has been shaped by something else. I got called weirdo, a deaf-mute, foreigner, etc. “What’s wrong with your voice?” I used to have rocks and wood chips thrown at me during recess. “Why don’t you use sign languageContinue reading “Hearing Aid Insecurities: Overcoming it”
