Sometimes I just look up and say thank you. Life isn't easy, but I'm still standing, still moving, still blessed in ways I don't say out loud enough. Gratitude doesn't mean everything's perfect, it means you notice what's good even while you're carrying what's hard.

Just had this very conversation with someone. Thankful for health and vitality at XY age amongst many other things, despite life’s biggest or current challenges! Now to radiate that on.

So true. So easy to be a doomer right now.
You’ve put into words something I’ve thought more often recently, realizing if just ONE thing in my past was different—I wouldn’t be exactly where I am today. Wouldn’t chance that! Thanks. 🫡

What’s a small step? I hear that! I’ll be praying for y’all. 🫂🙏
I convinced myself I was actually pregnant this time so I really wanted to be off everything, but when I found out I wasn’t, I had a “fuck it” moment and took two hits off a joint. It helped me sleep, but just made me feel guilty after.

I see. Hang in there and stay strong. Know that one night of sleep doesn’t wash away the guilt. Use that now as your Motivation. We’re here with ya. 🙏. Keep trying

I’m telling you God is bigger than all of this. I won’t get all preachy on you, but it’s definitely worth a shot praying to Him. I’ll be doing it on your behalf. He is able. 💪🫂
It might not seem like it, but I very much so believe in God and pray pretty regularly. I know God is ever present even when it doesn’t feel like it, but extra prayers are SO kind and wanted so thank you 🫂

lol. Not everyone does. But it’s ok. I was once where others are. Life is hard
It’s actually my fault. I knew not to put pressure on myself and to be conservative with my expectation, but somehow managed to convince myself I was pregnant 😂🤦‍♀️🫂
I have been informed from those that have had it: a natural anti nausea can work for morning sickness. Although not a single doctor would suggest it. Just do you young lady chill out, which is incredibly hard to do
The “lack of long term studies” is astonishing for natural remedies as compared to pharmaceuticals, despite the fact that some newer medications are somehow deemed “safe” already. That’s why I’m looking into getting a doula.
