  • Were You Loved???

    Tuesday, March 25, 2008

    Sometimes in the self-discovery that allows for personal growth and acceptance, it is equally important to recall a moment where we know we were loved ... recalling it provides the "balance" that is needed in our lives and promotes the healing of our hearts.
    As a chubby 13 or 14-year-old, finding stylish clothes that fit was a daunting task. One day, my mother told my father, "...

  • Hard times...regular folks are amazing

    Thursday, September 18, 2008 | A Positive story

    As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess!  I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok.  When I do talks in schools or community groups I tell kids about the long haul medicine entails&nb...

  • My time will come

    Tuesday, November 25, 2008 | A Positive story

    I start Provera again after finding out I did not ovulate. My follies just "disappeared". My RE thinks they shrunk but I'm not going to get hung up on the details.
    CD 3-7 I'll be on 200mg Clomid. I really feel positive that we could be on the right track now. I responded to the 150 of Clomid, but I think I started it too early and I also think it wasn't quite enough.
    I have s...

  • Starting to get excited....

    Thursday, May 28, 2009 | A Positive story

    Well ladies, I haven't been this excited in months!  I really am starting to believe I am quite possibly pg.  My temp has not fallen yet and I am now 12 dpo.  Last month at this time, it had already fallen significantly.  If it stays raised through tomorrow and Saturday, I will almost certainly get my first BFP ever.  DH and I are cautiously optimistic at this point.&...

  • This fight is SO ON!!!!!

    Friday, June 12, 2009 | A Positive story

    Dear Great Adversary,
    DEVASTATE me, SHAME me, and KICK me while I am down, but you had BETTER kill me because when I stop crying I will be PISSED, and then I will get back up, and I will find you, and when we meet again I will FREAKING DESTROY you!
    How you like me now, IF...!?!
    This is for all you girls, not just me.  I am heartbroken everytime I hear your heart break.
    We CAN beat this!

  • Forgiveness... Letting Go...

    Thursday, September 3, 2009 | A Positive story

    “I don't know if I can continue even today, always liking myself. But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes- it is inevitable. But once you do and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, 'well, if I'd known better I'd have ...

  • Accountability

    Monday, October 26, 2009 | A Positive story

    I have to write this for my anger management class, but what you are about to read is honest and sincere and completely heartfelt. I am hoping to get some feedback as to how this reads and if anything needs or should be added or excluded.
    Dearest Daughter,
    First off I want to say how much I love you and how much I am hurting not having you in my care. I look forward to every day we get together and...
