Two Week Wait

Good, Bad, and the Ugly

Two Week Wait
Makayla Lacy

This means a lot of different things to many different people. To some, it can be the two weeks before you begin your new job and that is exciting. To others, it can mean the two weeks of fall and Christmas break that your kids are out of school and that can mean mixed emotions. To those of us that deal with fertility problems, the two week wait can be the longest time of your life.

When you experience fertility issues, a lot of emotions catch a ride on your mind. You lay awake at midnight wondering if it is something you are doing, have done, are not doing, or haven't done. Is it your fault? What have you done to cause this? Is it your partner? Maybe it just isn't the right time. You blame yourself. You get depressed. You begin to think you are not worthy of creating life. You wonder if you will ever get to live your dream of being a mom.

You are NOT to blame. You ARE WORTHY of creating life. It just isn't your time. This isn't your season. You will come through this. You will make it to the top of the mountain. You are who you are destined to be. You are where you are destined to be in life. Everything comes in its own time. Everything will happen when it is meant to happen.

Trust in God. Trust in his timing. Trust that everything happens in his time. And in the meantime - travel, become your own person, meet new people, try new things, become a risk taker, become an adrenaline addict, become who you never thought you'd be. And in the time you are becoming who you are meant to transform to be, everything else will fall right into place.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
