Shana found herself unexpectedly emotional at her three-year-old's muffins with moms event. Unlike the other mothers who might shed tears out of love or the joy of the special moment, Shana's tears stemmed from a different source.

Regardless, her experience this morning taught her some valuable lessons that she wants to share.
