Great walk today

I am shy. Believe it or not, I am very shy. It is hard for me to connect with other moms because this is such a new phase of my life. Another mom in my neighborhood reached out to me today and I felt comfortable asking her to go for a walk. It was really cool. My life changed radically when Elle was born. The old me went to work out of the house and was defined in that role. That role is completely gone now. I get to make new friends as me, just me. Having Elle has made me a different person because the things that define me now cannot be taken away.
