I Trust

December 5, 2020December 5, 2020 Anne Brock

I whispered quietly to myself, I trust. And then I remembered it’s true. I trust.  2020 Word of the Year: Trust Eleven months ago I wrote a post about my 2020 word of the year: trust. I wrote about how trusting the way my life unfolds is hard and how I want to learn to… Continue reading I Trust

Press Pause

September 8, 2020September 8, 2020 Anne Brock

I don’t remember when we first got a remote for the TV. It probably wasn’t that far into my childhood. However, I do remember the cable boxes that required us to get up and move the little switch in order to change the channel. The same was true for the first VCRs — to pause… Continue reading Press Pause

A Check In on Trust

June 26, 2020June 24, 2020 Anne Brock

Trust is my word for 2020.  I mean, come on.  Since taking on a word of the year, I have a practice of checking in on it every June. So, here is my check in on trust! In my first post of 2020 I shared how I had just finished my book proposal. I wrote… Continue reading A Check In on Trust

Another New Normal

May 15, 2020May 15, 2020 Anne Brock

When does something stop being normal? For years my normal was: wake up, drive to work, work, drive home. That was normal during the week and on the weekends I did things out of the norm, like sleep in, not shower, stay home. Over two months ago now that normal changed to: wake up, Brad… Continue reading Another New Normal

Searching for Certainty

April 24, 2020April 22, 2020 Anne Brock

The first time I thought I might be pregnant I wanted to just know one way or the other. So, I started googling “how to tell if you’re pregnant” and “could ____ mean I’m pregnant?” These questions led me to message boards and down the rabbit hole of a myriad of abbreviations like 5dpo (five… Continue reading Searching for Certainty

I Know How You Feel, Buddy

March 20, 2020March 20, 2020 Anne Brock

He can’t get settled. Any time I reposition myself in my chair, he gets up. If I have to go to the bathroom, he gets up. When I start talking to someone on Zoom, he gets up. I know how you feel, buddy — I'm out of sorts too. At the base of my chair… Continue reading I Know How You Feel, Buddy

Permission to Be

January 17, 2020January 16, 2020 Anne Brock

It’s hard for me to take a break. It’s hard to set things down. However, I realize it’s time to give myself permission to be. Permission to Be Present I need permission to be present. Social media has been a huge gift to me, especially over the last year. I’ve met some amazing infertility warriors,… Continue reading Permission to Be

My New Plan

January 10, 2020January 9, 2020 Anne Brock

I’ve been a planner my whole life. Even as a kid I was always asking “what are we doing next?” or “what are we doing tomorrow?” I liked to have a plan; I want to know what to expect.  In general, this is a good thing. It keeps me organized. Planning ahead assures that vacations… Continue reading My New Plan

Learning to Trust

January 3, 2020January 2, 2020 Anne Brock

Before I jump into today's post, I want to share some exciting news about the progress of my book! Yesterday I finished up the book proposal! Of course, I still need to edit it, research publishers, write query letters and... finish the book! But, right now I'm celebrating this next milestone in the process of… Continue reading Learning to Trust

Open

January 1, 2019 Anne Brock

I don’t really know where it came from, but it popped into my head and I knew it was my one little word for 2019: Open. Unlike Gratitude — a word I chose because I knew I needed to focus on being grateful in 2017 — and Explore — a word I chose because I… Continue reading Open
