When the Wound Has Healed, a Scar Remains
Three years ago, on March 18, I was diagnosed with infertility. I have written about that moment: opening the email from my doctor and reading those words that changed my life - many times here at this blog. March 18th is known as D-Day in our house, for Diagnosis Day. In … Read More »
Sharing Your Infertility Story, Even with Just One Person

Be Kind to Yourself
Would you like to try an experiment in just how well you regard yourself? Try this for one day: carry a small notebook and pen around with you. Every time you have a negative thought about yourself (not a negative thought in general, but specifically about yourself), make a … Read More »
“While I breathe, I hope.”

Clarity of Purpose and Living Fearlessly
Hi, I'm Keiko and I am a habitual self-saboteur. ("Hi, Keiko.") I have always found it easier to walk away from the opportunity and know that I came out on my own terms than at the mercy of failure. This is the justification I've told myself for years. It's easier than saying … Read More »
