Julia Burzon introduces her new blog, "Dear Diane"

Julia Burzon was kind enough to stop by and let me know about her new blog, which covers a wealth of topics in relation to motherhood...mental health, religion, psychology and more. Julia's a stay-at-home mom of two and has been dealing with postpartum depression and anxiety for several years. She shares her experiences as well as resources that can help others in the same situation.

She also provides a listing of doctors (psychiatrists, pediatricians, etc.) that she recommends highly who are located in the Baltimore/Annapolis/DC metro area. You can find the list by clicking here.

Definitely a blog worth checking out!

Time got away from me

I know it has been forever since my last blog post.  And it's not because I've not been in touch with the latest PPD-related news and issues.  It's just that life has been way too full and way too fast these days.....

So in the last month, my mom remarried (to a wonderful man who I just adore), the company where I work, EmpowHer, went out of beta and launched a fabulous new version of the site, and I've been dealing with my first holiday season post-divorce.  At the moment, I'm contemplating what it will be like to be alone on Christmas day.  (I had the kids with me over Thanksgiving.)  But I'm not too overly worried about it because if Christmas Day is anything like the rest of the year that has gone by so fast and furious, it will be a fleeting memory before I know it.  My New Year's resolution is to get back on track with my blog here and to stay focused on reaching out to women who need the best information and resources on postpartum depression.
