Being a mother is something I have waited and prayed for since I was a young girl mothering dolls. After 4 years of infertility, tests and procedures that failed 100% of the time, we were blessed with a miracle. I have become passionate about helping others through the struggle of infertility and have started a non-profit organization in order to reach out to people across the country.

It has been a process of sorts to be open enough to talk about this part of me, but it is now something that I choose to embrace and appreciate, as I have learned more and more about myself and my purpose.

I hope this blog can be a place where you can find strength and support through others who know the struggle. Please feel free to contact me with questions, advice, or any and all venting. I know that with the help of each other, we can overcome this struggle...or at least handle it in a way that will leave us better for it.

Welcome to my blog - My Journey To Fertility.

'Believe'

I've found that there are certain persons who seem to waltz into my life just when I need them.
Does that happen to you?
I feel so lucky.
I believe that someone somewhere knows that I need these people and that someone somewhere seems to align the universe just right in order for me to discover these perfectly placed people.
(wow. vague and aliteration. awesome)


I have a friend. I've known him my whole life (we'll call him Mark). He's married now...to my new friend (we'll call her Che). I've known her for only a few measley months, but those months must be longer than most, I swear. We met eachother for the first time for lunch at Kneaders (without my friend, the husband. aren't we adventurous?) She was so easy to talk to. Smart. Grounded. Supportive. We got along well.

Recently, she sent me this in the mail.


It's full of insightful little tid bits from wise people.

Needless to say, I teared up and said a prayer of thanks to that 'someone somewhere' who brought this kind of support into my life. To say I appreciate it wouldn't be enough.

This is where it stays in my home. It is a lovely reminder of lessons learned, good people, and really the best way to take this journey.


She is one of those perfectly placed people. Thank you Che!
