Challenge 33

JOURNALING: Even before I got married, I always knew I wanted to breastfeed. I believe that it is not only beneficial to baby but to mommy as well. I looked forward to the initial bonding with my children.But when I gave birth to Nadine, I was told that I didn't have enough milk each time she cried. I did not have the support I needed. Sadly, I breastfed her for only a month and a half. I will always regret not being able to do it; not trying harder.When I got pregnant with Raya, I vowed to do things differently. I could not accept the fact that I didn't have milk. I know that God did not make it that way. That it is not the natural order of things. So I read books, researched in the Internet and surrounded myself with supportive friends. My efforts paid off as I breastfed Raya for one and a half years!Now with Alyssa, there is no doubt in my mind that I can make milk. And it is enough to nourish her. I have done it before and I will do it again. Yes, I do make milk. What's your superpower?

This challenge is brought to you by Mia, and is the first that needs to be done for the September contest.

We all have something that we're proud of. Something that we've done that we feel is exceptionally great. It might be as elaborate as conquering a fear or reaching a goal. Or it might be as simple as getting through the day. Nevertheless, going through it gives a certain high, a feeling of superpower. The challenge is to journal your superpower.
