    • About Me

      Holistic therapist working from home. Have tried everything to get pregnant. This includes natural, supported by holistic therapies, IVF. Nothing worked and we have just come to the end of the IVF road after 2 years trying. We are heartbroken, and struggling with it at the moment. Have a few other things going on in our lives, like most people, but trying to stay grateful for the positive things. I work at home which is isolating and I sometimes struggle with that. Also my beloved little sister has incurable cancer. She has a very young child which makes it harder. She's on chemo right now. Still trying to appreciate the many good things in our life though, like the love and support of my friends at Daily Strength.

      Hello Ann, that is terrible about the brake in! Glad they didn't take too much though, its not a nice feeling to know people have been through your house and belongings. the healing clearance was a great idea. where did you go on your few days? my trip went hmmm ok. was good to get a way and i did not feel as bad as i had expected but I still felt strange the whole time. The plane trip wasn't so bad, just the initial take off caused by the thoughts like "ok this is it, can't get off now!!) I haven't heard of the cypress before. I will look into it thanks! I am a lover of quotes but some of them are just silly. I bought one once for my fridge that said "life doesn't bring you think you can not handle" i thought it was nice, until my boyfriend said "that's not true, people kill themselves all the time" hmmm ruined my quote, but probably true! Hope this catches you feeling great.
