Alena Dillon's Article in BookTrib

Alena Dillon, author of My Body is a Big Fat Temple, has written an article for BookTrib that will be published on October 18.


My Body Is A Big Fat Temple, a memoir of pregnancy and early motherhood, follows a writer as she debates having children, miscarries, faces morning sickness, uncertainty, physical impairments, labor, breastfeeding, the “baby blues,” the heartache of not loving her son as she thinks she should, parenting through a plague, until finally (basically, mostly) blossoming into her new identity.

Creating life is a primal phenomenon. It requires grit, resilience, and a lot of bathroom breaks. There are dry heaves and darkened nipples, crotch lightning and brain fuzz, milk stains, sleep regressions, and equal amounts of despair and joy. It's a complicated magic. The undertaking is airbrushed to preserve the ideal of motherhood, and exacerbated by a culture that dictates what women can do and how they should feel. We don’t get the full story, so mothers with unromantic experiences feel like aberrations, and worse, alone. This is why the voices of women matter. The voices of mothers matter. Here’s one to keep you company, and to remind you to do your Kegels. (They’re really important.)

When a message bounces or lands in spam, the raw header is the first place to look. The challenge is that it is dense and hard to scan quickly. A service that maps the relay path and flags authentication results in one view saves real time. This delivery route and validation breakdown is a practical way to turn that raw data into something readable, especially when you need to explain the issue to someone else.
