May 2013 was the first time I undertook a month-long theme of multiple posts to mark mental health awareness. Below are some of my posts from that series. A trip in the way back machine that explains a lot about my current state of mental health, motherhood, and life – and how I got here.

When I was a child, bright May mornings were filled with energy.
Sturdy rubber soled, strapped toes met pebbly concrete as in formation we marched
to crown Mother Mary.
Even if your hands didn’t rest the blooms atop her head
the songs and solemn file made you feel special.
The Mother of our Church, it makes sense that this month also celebrates earthly mothers.
And given the true gravity of motherhood, it makes sense that it also celebrates mental health.
I’ve done all manner of mother-centric posts over months of May past.
This past year has been full of research and connection as well, but in some new directions. I’ve decided to share some of my experiences over this month of maternal mental health and mamas. To shine a light on some of the amazing work that mothers and women are doing. On their own and in support of each other.
