Thank you Dr Mehmet Yildiz!

I actually have 2 stories today. The first is a story I wrote before joining Illumination. It’s very personal and deals with adoption trauma, a term I knew nothing about except for the fact I was living it with my son. There is hope for those families experiencing this.

Are you willing to get messy? This is a question I’ve been asking myself during my personal 31-day challenge. It’s been a month of experimenting and discovery. Some things work, some things don’t. Please check out my acronym story for MESSY and let me know what you think.

BTW, acronym stories came from getting messy. Will it stick? I don’t know. I had one writer comment that she loved it. That made my day 😃
