New Video
OK so I'm thinking about making a new video about miscarriages. I was thinking it would be nice to do a Q's and A's kinda video.
What I would like to know is does anyone have any questions about miscarriages and at all? I could really use some feed back as to what type of question's you all would like answers to in reguards to miscarriages.
I know touchy subject but it's something that needs to be dealt with and not hushed.
So with all that said if anyone has any questions about miscarriages or suggestions for questions I would greatly appreciate the feedback.
Not sure how I'm going to go about the video just yet but I do think it's something I would really like to do. Thank you.

Self Confidence
Today while I was driving I was thinking about my book, it's sales and how I have been self-promoting for one year now & getting articles slowly into different magazines. I realized I now have this self confidence in myself that I've never had before. This self confidence is all because I wrote a book about my 3 miscarriages, Doing my best to help others get through their own miscarriage and not being afraid to speak up. I never thought I would have this kind of self confidence in myself, but I gotta tell you I LIKE IT. Above all though it's because God put it on my heart to write this book and He has been blessing me EVER since. You don't know how thankful I am for this self confidence he has given me.

Talking To God
Even more importantly, I needed to talk with God. I needed to pray as often as it took. Obviously God already knew how I felt, but that didn't mean I should stop talking with him, ask Him to give me the strength I needed for each day, for each moment. I still needed to ask God for help with the emotions I was feeling, the hurt. God got me through it. It took some time, but He did. I leaned on God as much as I needed to each day. He was ready and waiting for me to go to Him with open arms. The rest is in Chapter 6 "Talking or Praying to God"

Magazine
I am really excited! I have been an author for 1 year now and I still can't get over the fact that I can tell people "I'm an author". Sometimes I think did that really just come out of my mouth! It never gets old!
I'm still not very well known, but my book is slowly getting exposure which means people are slowly finding out that miscarriages happen and they can be heart breaking and at the same time marriages can get through them.
I am so excited that an excert from my book has been put in a magazine for women! I am adding the link to it here for other's to be able to read.

After All These years
Sometimes after all these years after my last miscarriage when my husband tells me of someone we know or he knows that they are pregnant my response is "SO". At times it's something I really don't want to hear. It's amazing that I still get effected emotionally because of what I lost. I am very happy with my family don't get me wrong, but there is still at times that little piece of me that thinks "it's not fair and I don't want to hear about it". Eventually I do get over it and might even be happy for that person. I think this is something I will always struggle with as a woman. Funny, it also makes me want to get the word out about how miscarriages can and do effect women even more.

Self-help book or Memoir
Self-help book or Memoir?
I really don't know why any women would want to read a self-help book when it comes to miscarriages I don't imagine that kind of book would be helpful.
I do think reading a memoir of a woman who was able to get through her own miscarriages and keep her marriage together would be worth reading though. I think it would allow other women to realize they aren't alone even if they feel like they are they aren't.
I also think the memoir would be worth it for others to read as well. With that said maybe my book, my memoir can help others with their own miscarriages.

The Body Can't Be Controlled
"I have been thinking about what we women have gone through with having these miscarriages and the more I thought about it the more I realized there isn't anyway for us to control it........ Women have been having miscarriages for centuries and there is nothing anyone can do about it. The more I thought about it, the more I started to ask myself why a woman's body rejects the baby. Then, I thought about Eve...."

Crying
"As strange as this may sound after all these years, after my last miscarriage sometimes I still get tears in my eyes when I talk about it with my friend, or anyone. Just explaining how I felt back then with what I was going through, it brings tears to my eyes."
