Welcome to July’s ICLW!

Jul. 21, 2012 by Keiko Zoll

IComLeavWeHi there! If you’re swinging by for ICLW, welcome! If you’re a first-time visitor, there’s lot of fun stuff to be found, so feel free to click around!

A quick rundown of where I’m at can be found at my Mission: TZ3 Update post. In a nutshell: we’re hoping to do our first IVF cycle with a known egg donor in September. This will be my first round of fertility treatments ever, as I was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure before we ever began TTC.

I’m on the lookout for some missing ALI bloggers… will you help me find them?

I got paid recently to write about body wash.

I am looking for cycle buddies (especially donor egg IVF) who might be cycling in August/September.

I just made a YouTube channel, including some of my favorite songs on my infertility playlist.

I’ve written two eBooks.

I love food.

I am in awe of the candidness and bravery of the folks who comment at my Facebook page.

I’ve been writing and journaling for a looooong time.

I refuse to give up hope.

Welcome, welcome – stay awhile and leave some comments if you feel inspired.

(Just FYI: I’ll be traveling June 21 and 22, so I’ll be leaving and returning comments Sunday night. Thanks!)

    Hi! My name is Erin, and I’m currently going through the pain that is infertility, and stumbled upon your blog. I don’t have a blog, but I just wanted to share that I appreciate your playlist a lot! Feeling pretty sorry for myself, and I really, really needed to hear it tonight. Thanks for that.

    Happy ICLW! I’m using ICLW this month to get caught up on all the blogging I’ve missed over the past couple of weeks. This is the first summer in years that I’m able to enjoy, but I hate that that fun sometimes takes me away from the fun of blogging and talking with other bloggers.

    Also, I’m super excited for you to start treatments. We probably won’t even start cycling til the new year, but I very much look forward to your thoughts on the process.

    I completely missed signing up for ICLW … barely keeping up with NaBloPoMo … I need about twenty four more hours in the day. Happy ICLW, and safe travels!

    Also? I’m insanely jealous that you got paid to write about body wash. Envy is not attractive on me, but there you have it. I will try to stomp it out by reminding myself what a fabulously awesome writer you are, and how you inspire me to be a better writer and human being, too. 🙂

      We went to Vermont this weekend… it was fantastic. I’ll have to post some pics and write a little more about it this week. As for the Dove body wash review – I was floored when I got picked. Every time there’s a BlogHer Reviewer program available, I always fill out the form. Never get picked. I think b/c the review pool was so big (like 250 bloggers or something) my odds were a little better. It’s hard b/c I don’t neatly fit into my BlogHer demographics – no kids. That said – you should check out The SITS Girls for reviewer opps (sitsgirls.com I think). I think your trick will be to tap into the Foodie Blog market 🙂

      Plus – you’re going to BlogHer ’12, right? Sadly, I’m not – but I’m sure you have plenty of opps to make brand connections there, too!
