I enjoyed taking a few minutes for myself to refill my well and visiting your journal, does just that for me, thanks! Enjoyed the interviews too. Have a great day Andrea!

Andrea,

I just read your interviews, and I completely agree with the interviewer who attested to the power of the mondo beyondo list! I've been wanting to drop you a line about this for a while, but it felt a bit random, and so I didn't. Nevertheless, the power of naming and connecting with our desires is such an incredibly powerful tool, and I thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing it!

Since creating the list, I've accomplished so many of those goals with an ease that I didn't know existed. And not only that, but really identifying my deepest and juiciest wants lead me to realize that I should be pursuing a completely different career (i.e. becoming a Rabbi instead of getting a PhD like I had planned).

Anyway, I'm sending you lots of love and buckets of appreciation. You ARE inspiring. Thank you for helping me SEE a little better too.

Hi, I have really enjoyed your blog for months now. It has inspired me to keep going with this fertility thing and most of the time I’m the eternal optimist but last night I crashed, I just hit rock bottom I just seem to be hitting hurdle after hurdle. The good news is that when I came into work this morning I have a little picture of your Ben on my desktop to keep me going not only is he gorgeous but I absolutely love your photos. Thank you for being there for me in some special way.

ben = extreme cuteness.

socks!!!

i so enjoy the photos of your sweet ben. i don't comment much but i've been reading your journal since you started it.

i smile each time you share a photo of him. knowing the long journey he took to get here.

so happy to see your interview with wendy. she is one of my favorites too, and her sweet satch!

I love the little mismatched socks on cute feet!

Hi Andrea, I popped into the library today to pick up a book for this weekend in Santa Cruz and I always walk through the New section to see what's up. Well, on the cd shelf, they had Jonatha Brooke's, Careful What You Wish For, cd displayed. I remembered her from a post you did a while back so I checked the cd out too and am listening to it now. She has a lovely voice!!! Have a great day!

This is a random comment but where do you find all of these adorable hats for your son? I've looked through your pictures and I love the little hats!! I'm having a boy in October and if he is anything like me or his dad (which he probably will be) he wont have hair until he's at least 2, so hats would be a good thing...
