This quote! Y’all! I saw it, and actually shouted out “YES” to no one but my sleeping dogs. They were not impressed. But, I was. THIS QUOTE. Love, love, love!

Today, I am doing something I haven’t done before.

I don’t normally link another article here for you guys to read, but I just love it so much.

Last fall, I discovered this beautiful article in the New York Times about the trauma of infertility.

WOWZA!

It talks about the fire within all of us, and how the impact of infertility doesn’t just end when a baby is born. This article opens up the discussion about the emotional toll infertility can take on a woman, and I love that we are talking about this so openly these days!

“How many people do we pass every single day who are carrying around raging fires — who have a passion or a pain inside that is so great they can barely contain it? For me, and for thousands of other people, infertility is that raging fire.” – Regina Townsend

If you are walking the road, or have walked the road, of infertility and loss, I HIGHLY recommend reading this article. Thought-provoking and raw.

I had a fire within me for a decade. The fire tried to consume me, but instead of getting lost, I let it make me who I am today. That is why I LOVE the quote at the top of this post. “Some women are lost in the fire. Some women are built by it”. Can I get an AMEN?
