Aww Brooke! I can&#039;t tell you enough how much your words mean to me! I felt called to begin sharing our story publicly on my blog about two and a half years ago, which has been simultaneously wonderful and terrible. But I know that from vulnerability comes strength and I&#039;ve seen many women helped by reading my story because they now feel a little less alone. Also - you inspired me to really allow myself to visually explore my feelings and emotions through this long process and I&#039;ve been working on a self portrait series that portrays the journey. None of that would have happened if I hadn&#039;t found you. So thank you for always being a beacon of light and passion for all of us! You are truly a gift! &#060;3]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.promotingpassion.com/the-stories-we-tell-ourselves/#comment-72474&quot;&gt;Fit BMX&lt;/a&gt;.

Well I certainly didn&#039;t mean to make you cry Fit BMX! This adoption journey has been an interesting experience because for the past several years I had finally reached a point where I truly didn&#039;t care what other people thought of me. But this process has really forced me to begin to care again. Because the way you look can leave a huge first impression. But we&#039;re certainly doing our best to remain hopeful. We&#039;re a year into being a waiting adoptive family so hopefully soon we&#039;ll have a little one to love in our arms :) Hugs right back to you!]]></description>

Someone else posted the Kermit video on a forum years ago, and I always loved it. 
Thanks for the kind words,

Oh my goodness that Kermit clip made me laugh so hard! My husband thought it was a dying cat from the other room though :D You are so kind, always, and I want you to know how much it means to me. I am thankful for your openness and your willingness to lift others up.]]></description>

Stephanie, I am so sorry to hear all that you&#039;ve been through. I know that when you stand strong you will inspire others, and that is exactly what you are doing with this candid comment. I really appreciate that you are sharing yourself and your truth, it means the world. You&#039;ve inspired me today to live in my truth and to rise above. You will be an amazing mother &lt;3]]></description>

Comparison mode...the worst! Sometimes I find myself in it when it&#039;s too late and the damage has been done. Don&#039;t we all sometimes. All my love Marcy!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;if you try and fail so many times, you are bound to finally succeed. The biggest reason most people ultimately do not succeed in their desires is because they put an arbitrary timeline on when they can achieve success.&quot;

That is so f***in true!

Congrats on the series and the awards, but also, on a great blog post here.

My support always ;)
