Shana Tova Message

"Once again….

It’s a New Year. I sit here and wonder what this year will bring? I sit here and reflect where I was last year at this time. The hope, the deep deep feeling of hope. The hope that the one healthy embryo from our retrieval would implant and turn into the baby we dreamed of.

Last year on Rosh Hashanah, I closed my eyes and visualized and prayed for what I thought and dreamed my year would potentially be. A year filled with a successful transfer and followed by a healthy pregnancy, a year ending holding our new and precious addition to our family.

Alas, I find myself in a different place altogether - With a broken heart of all that did not go as I planned. All of my dreams and not the reality we hoped for.

This year on Rosh Hashanah as I close my eyes and pray to G-d, I surrender to His plans for me. I find contentment in all the blessings I have in my life- and I am truly blessed. I will continue to yearn and plead for another baby, but with a full heart and trust that G-d has a plan for me, for us.

I pray for all my fellow infertility warriors: --that we be blessed with that which we pray so hard for
-that we be blessed with the strength to go through this journey
-that we be blessed with clarity and courage
-that we be blessed with contentment and peace.

I pray for us all a Shana Tova. ♥️"
