You, Wild child, are as you should be

This is a piece from my first book, “Light Up the Darkness: Reclaiming Your Voice” available on Amazon.

https://a.co/d/ehc5V6I

This book is for anyone who has been silenced, hidden, or felt forgotten.

Remember this: no one silences something with nothing to say.

If you want to find your voice and strength again, please read my book.

It is interactive with questions and space to write and dig into your own memories, dreams and internal thoughts.

A pregnant woman in a hat and white skirt stands on a beach, looking at a young child. The text overlay asks, "When people ask if this baby was planned," highlighting the article's central theme.

A Clearblue digital pregnancy test is shown with a blank screen. Overlays state, "The truth is Does it matter?" and "A baby is a blessing. If we purposefully tried to get pregnant or not. We are blessed and excited for the life of another baby."

An ultrasound image of a fetus is held in a hand. Text overlays read, "People asking this when you already have children" and "Just because you have more than one child doesn't mean that you didn't plan or aren't excited for another."

Should people ask if a baby was planned or not? 🕊️

Honestly, it’s one of the most WILD questions someone could ask parents. It makes me cringe to my core. Like if they weren’t trying to conceive but are so excited for this little life why does it matter? Would it change their opinion and excitement over this baby? Personally for me I am a Christ
