A Note from Laketa Renal

My journey to and thru womanhood and motherhood has not been an easy one.  No one (family or friends) talked to me about what to expect or how to even handle all the many phases you go thru (all the doctor’s appointments, health challenges, sleep deprived nights, and how things do eventually smooth out) when you make the decision to become a mother.  And then what do you do when life throws you those curve balls (divorce, a special needs diagnosis, career changes).  My 20-something year old self would be so proud of how I navigated all these changes and still kept pressing on. 

I created fromlaketarenal.com to form a kind of community where women could come and share their dreams and goals without the negativity and pessimistic feedback, get pointers on how to make a new living space feel like home, learn how to create budget and manage their finances, learn how to meal plan for 2 when you’re used to cooking for 3 or 4, or maybe learn where to start when you’re ready to take the leap and start that business.  And really overall get the support they need to find their joy, to create the lives they want for themselves and their families, and just be heard. 

Welcome,
