Crappy news

I was going to blog about this article...

Remember: Skills can be learned, but your passion is a part of who you are. The reality is you can do whatever you want to do and set your mind to do. The old adage, "Do what you love, the money will follow" is actually very good advice. It may take some work to reveal what you're truly meant to do but, if loving your career is important to you, your efforts will be a valuable investment in your future happiness.

I have an inability to follow my passions or even acknowledge that plenty of women have a home and children and start to follow a passion even later than year 29. I really have this on my mind right now.

But, this all takes a back seat because one of my great friends has tried for a long time to become pregnant, she finally did and then she miscarried. My heart is breaking for her. I have said so many times that I am lucky, as are all my friends with kids, to have had a healthy pregnancy and baby. It just isn't a guarantee. I was worried a lot about this last month but worry is not good for attempting to become pregnant and I realize that.

Amy, I hate that this happened. I wish you peace and many opportunities to make and carry healthy babies!

Julie,
I have been through what your friend is going through. If she wants/needs to talk to someone who has been there, please feel free to give her my email. I still mourn the loss of first baby... it will never go away.
