Day 2 of #bookwiferyvisibilitychallenge with @christianne_bookwifery - why my message matters... 💫 After thinking about yesterday’s prompt and response a bit more, I think I have a primary message (I pay attention to the ordinary and discover the extraordinary) and a secondary one related to my #infertility journey. I’ll focus on the primary one for the remainder of this challenge. 💫 Why does it matter? We live in a culture focused on surfaces - the clothes, the shoes, the make up, the house, the job, the relationships, the kids...all these things we see on the surface. Social media is all about the surface. I want more than that for me and for you. I want us to go deeper and one way to do that is to pay attention. 💫 By paying attention and looking deeper, I see extraordinary things every single day. Mundane experiences become miracles. Annoyances become humorous. Grief becomes growth. I don’t sugarcoat it but I do peel back a layer or two to discover the hidden gems. I think we need more of that. Maybe my observations shared on my blog will lead another person to pause a bit longer to notice and pay attention. Less surface, more depth.

I’m participating in @christianne_bookwifery #bookwiferyvisibilitychallenge this week. Day 1: Name your message. 💫 Several months ago I discovered my mission statement: I pay attention to the ordinary and discover the extraordinary. That manifests itself in several ways: quilting, music, relationships and writing. 💫 I started a blog a little over 2 years ago as I was beginning a sabbatical. What I expected to be life-giving became heart-breaking as I was diagnosed with infertility a month before I was supposed to return to work. My writing has been a place for healing. 💫 Someday, when more of my story unfolds, I want to write the book that I was looking for during the early days of my diagnosis. By sharing my story, I hope that I can offer a safe place to land. 💫 I’ve chosen a picture of a wasp nest that I took the other day. Several weeks ago I was walking my dogs in the early morning before sunrise and was stung on my arm without warning or provocation. As I passed by the same spot in the daylight I discovered why I was stung. It didn’t take the pain away from the incident but seeing it in the daylight helped me to understand. I think the same is true for most pain we feel.

When I only go to yoga once a week and it’s @dmbyogini ‘s class... 😂 #yoga #everythinghurtsandimdying @breathingspaceyoga (but seriously, if you want to get stronger and learn how to breathe your way through the tough moments and be supported fully and challenged always, she’s the one for you! 💖)
