A Special Message From Barbara

Barbara's Notes

In the past two years I have had the honor and privilege to speak with you about some of the most detailed, personal events in my life…those regarding my struggle to motherhood…and those surrounding the whole protracted ordeal. I have had the best time interviewing the most amazing guests, sharing THEIR most intimate details of THEIR journeys to motherhood. And I’ve made great friends with some of you ’sisters’ along the way.

I am hopeful that I have helped in my sharing and my sincere caring. If I could wish one thing, it would be that each and every one of our struggling ’sisters’ who had listened at one point or another, had walked away with a sense of hope, and a sense of connection…an added dose of strength and courage to carry on…to go the distance, doing whatever needed done to get to their dreams. For this is one journey that can feel quite scary, quite dark, quite lonely…and we can feel quite powerless throughout it all. But we have a supportive ’sisterhood’, and we can help each other tremendously.

However, due to myriad personal reasons, (all good I might add), I have been forced to make a decision about this podcast…one that has tugged greatly on my heartstrings. At this time, I am putting a halt to the audio portion of this show, but the 50 shows will remain for review. You can still listen to them all as you had been able to do before.

I’ve spoken many times on this show about having a ‘knowing’. And I suppose I knew a time would come where, in my heart, I would ‘know’ that I must move on, and allow my personal journey of infertility lay to rest. In some ways, speaking about it on a regular basis, may not allow one to completely heal and put it in the past. I don’t know. For the most part, I felt this was a therapeutic journey for me, as well as greatly rewarding. But as of late, I was beginning to feel that now it might be best to let it rest for a while.

I DID, however, feel that I had accomplished what I had set out to do….touch ’sisters’ and help in their journeys…with the exception of K, whose suicide effected me deeply. Of course, there unfortunately will always be more and more ’sisters’ out there that are in need of good words, prayer and hope to cling to, for this demon called infertility doesn’t seem like it’s going to leave this earth anytime soon.

I will continue to post blogs, and welcome any of you to post on this site as well. Any new information or success stories or wonderful words of encouragement that come my way I will gladly forward on to you through this blog format. It’s not to say that I won’t produce an actual audio broadcast here and there, but for now I will be putting that aside.

I welcome you to write to me any time with your updates, your questions and, of course, your celebrations…the celebrations of your final destinations…your realizations of motherhood. And I will continue to pray for you all, and yes, for all my special mentions on the show. We have had many miracles come to women on our poetic prayer chain, and we know there will be many more to report.

Thank you deeply for all you’ve given to me and to this podcast. Please know that I am still here for you, and remain with you in spirit each and every day. I love you all.
