When I got married, I thought I had faced the hardest transition in my life thus far. Merging two lives into one is guaranteed to be a messy but beautiful business. But God had another change in store that was far harder than I ever thought it would be. I became a mom. Being a wife meant I could still have my own work, interests and passions.

5 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Became a Mom
I became a mama on the cusp of the New Year. We actually prayed our son would be the first baby born in 2011 because then we could score some major swag, including a year’s supply of diapers.

Becky Beresford Author. Speaker. Dreamer. 2021 18 Oct Before the tidal wave known as COVID-19 hit us, I was sitting with a group of friends in a coffee shop. We all are writers, but we spent the first half of our time together sharing what was going on in our messy lives.

I grew up hearing people call me “too sensitive,” implying sensitivity was something out of the ordinary – something that needed to be corrected – something I needed to hide.
