here, there and everywhere
you can find me over here today… my friend sara, fantastic mother to the gorgeous 8 month old chloe, and fellow tattooed hot mama, asked me to do a guest post for her.
this is the first time i’ve posted on someone else’s site and really did not know where she wanted me to take this. often times sara and i will share stories of puke, poop, and “what the hell is going on with our babies!!!”
but sara gave me full creative freedom with this post, trusting where my muse would take me (hell, i don’t even always trust where my muse takes me…)
last night, sara tweeted out a picture of her tattoo she got yesterday. and that was my inspiration for my guest post on her site.
i’ve noticed more judgment of mothers, of women and of those who are “different” in some sort of way (like having tattoos), and it saddens me. there is no “perfect mother, woman, child… etc…” there just isn’t. sorry to burst your bubble.
and while i’ve addressed this topic on my own site before, i went about my guest post in a different manner.
so click here and head on over to sara’s blog. show her some love in her comments section.
thanks for hosting my crazy ass over on your site sweet friend!!! *MUAH*

in other news, the story of my rape has also been published on another activist’s website, After Silence. my story can be found by clicking here.
i know many of you read it when it was originally published on Violence Unsilenced. the way you readers embraced me after i posted was truly overwhelming.
i am proud to share my story with another site promoting survivors and giving us a voice.
thanks to kim for publishing my story on her site. the blogging community is continually amazing me with support and friendship.
please check it out and show kim some love for the amazing work she is doing.












i have 2 tats. i’m all for them!
I enjoyed your guest blog on Sara’s site! I could only post anonymously on her site since I do not yet have a url or my blog. I can’t stand the judgement that goes on due to tattoos and I love how you look at ours as stories. I am the same way. I got a celtic butterfly split between the tops of my feet to remember how far I have come in the last very difficult year of my marriage. I love it and love showing it off (I teach barefoot so it will be seen in the winter, too). Thank you Nic!!
Hi Nic, I read your story at my voice after silence and left a comment. You are an extremely brave woman to share your story so openly.
Hi Nic!
I admire you so much for putting your story out there for others to read. I am sure there are many women that have needed to hear your story to know that it wasn’t just them. You are so brave! I love that blogging has made it possible for women to support each other in this way. I just wanted you to know as a new blogger and a new mother I am thrilled to be part of a community with women like you.
