Brainy Mama 
I liked your wondermold piece in literarymama. Just wanted to tell you. Even gave it to my next door neighbor and she liked it too. I’m a stay at home mom/writer who struggles to finish pieces and keep a structure.
Thanks, Carol.
I’m so glad you liked my piece and shared it with someone else. It’s so gratifying for me to know that my experience resonates with so many women. It was a tough essay to write because it required me to truthful with myself and I was scared to do that. But now that I’ve shared my thoughts publicly, I can see how my words and experiences have the ability to touch and inspire others. I’m sure your words can, too. Keep working at your writing in spite of the challenges and hopefully, I’ll be reading your work on Literary Mama soon!
