I never have felt much of a personal connection to Resolve, myself, but I know how many people I know who have guided me and helped me and talked me through craziness who HAVE had that connection. So I think it's important to note that in the same way that your blog is a connection for all of us, Resolve helps to serve as a connecter for others (who in turn, connect to me, and I connect to you, and on and on it circles until we're all dizzy). Ah, yes. Feeling a little "kum-bah-yah"-ish myself today, I guess. But CONGRATS to you!<br /><br />And why is Josh resistant to the Artist Formerly Known As Cat Stevens? Your post reminded me that I wanted to download that album (so I just did. My WORD is it good...).

Your blog truly deserves this award. Thank you for opening up your basement and cleaning up after us.<br /><br /> My brain doesn't seem to be working well enough to answer the "What if" this morning. I'm sure I will say things to my kids that I will regret that will come back to haunt me. I guess I would save the power? Then go back in time to erase what I said...I think. Ehh....more coffee.

Congrats on getting the Hope award from Resolve! You certainly do spread a lot of hope around the ALI blogosphere. <br /><br />I enjoyed reading about your experience with Resolve starting back in 2002. I had a similar experience with Fertility Friend in the same year, when we were first trying to conceive our now 5 year old son. Though in retrospect conceiving him wasn't that hard (it took us 8 months on our own TTC), at the time I was shocked that it didn't happen on the first few tries. Of course at the time I had no idea what was in store for our future, which included an almost five year battle with SIF, three early pregnancy losses, many ART cycles and then a neonatal death, before our current "suprise" pregnancy.<br /><br />Anyway, I got so much hope and support from the friends ("cycle buddies") that I made through Fertility Friend back then. I actually still keep in touch with the original five women that met during a cycle TTC back in July 2002. We all eventually went on to have one or more children through a variety of paths, but is wasn't easy for any of us.<br /><br />Anyway, I am proud of you! You deserve all the credit you are receiving. We are an incredible community, but you do so much to help keep us together! I am likely going to a bookstore later today to pick up a few things and will try to remember to bring my camera and look for your book. Have a great weekend! :)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04175833982955486083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-3248739461016223602009-05-15T08:48:00.000-04:002009-05-15T08:48:00.000-04:00Hooray for you! I agree with Wiseguy, you invite ...Hooray for you! I agree with Wiseguy, you invite community involvement to the hilt, but it is your generosity that makes this my favorite place to visit each morning when I start to blogsurf!<br /><br />For the WhatIf, you know, I met my hubby when I was very young (16) and lied to him about something, that years later I had to unravel and fess up to. I so wish I had never told that lie in the first place. Luckily, he forgave me, but I still hurt him with my dishonesty.<br /><br />So, yes, I would risk the future for the mistakes of the past. I figure, (since I was born in '75, a mere year behind you), that maturity has tied my tongue in a way that will only serve me better the older I get (at least I hope), compared to the self-centered ramblings of my youth. To be honest, I have had so many take-back blatherings along the way, I've lost count.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259745.post-60882938373494455542009-05-15T08:40:00.000-04:002009-05-15T08:40:00.000-04:00Congratulations Mel.
