…ON GLOBAL HAPPINESS DAY AND BEYOND

Welcome to our 46th installation of Journeys To Motherhood. We are not only recognizing Global Happiness Day (8-8-08), but are planning to extend it from this show until the next…taking two weeks for finding some way to create a tiny piece of happiness for one of our reproductively challenged sisters each and every day of those two weeks.

There is so much we can do to spread a little joy, and little hope, a little happiness. And our ’sisters’ who are in the middle of this difficult time, SO appreciate a kind word, a kind gesture, anything that reflects our support of them, and our understanding.

And speaking of holidays, we discuss the idea of creating YOUR own holiday….your own ‘holy’ day…a day to keep sacred, just for you…a day to go back in time to be carefree and have fun, whatever that means to you, as you may have done BEFORE all of your current concerns, frustrations and dark moments that usually accompany infertility.

I have had some letters as of late, from women that are suicidal, and even though I’ve been personally in touch with two of you (out of eight!!), I also address you in this particular show. I have never claimed to be a psychologist nor any licensed professional when it comes to issues of the mind, (and I’m sure my husband thinks I need MY head examined at times), but I am a woman that has walked the walk, and I’m willing to share what I know from my own experiences, with the mission of giving hope.

And how about finding out 65 years later, that you were adopted!!!…from your 100-year old mother!!!…and then to meet your 93-year old birthmom!!! Check out that little story we share today!

Happy Global Happiness Day to you all! May you spread the happiness, and may it come back to you ten fold!
