Sharing our feelings and our personal journey through words can be rewarding and healing and can bring us a sense of peace. But it can also be intimidating as we are not always sure how our words will be received. I would like to thank my wonderful girlfriends and close family members for the positive and supportive response to my blog post, “The DNA Decision” that was featured during the Miss. Conception Coach Fertility Conference. Thank you Miss Conception Coach for helping me share my story! And thank you to all who follow my blog that offer support by silently reading my story, commenting or liking my posts.

I received some very kind messages from my closest friends after they read “The DNA Decision” and I wanted a place to save them and remember them, so I’ve gathered them here.

Thank you for warming my heart!

“I’m so proud of you Chrissy!”

“I read your post and I am simply amazed.   Your perspective, attitude and willingness to adjust are admirable.   I can’t wait to read more and share your blog with a few friends here who could learn a profound amount from your insight. Love you sister and I wish you success in your journey.”

This was written to my Mom and passed along to me:

“Wow, how wonderful the writing it is!! As you said she transmitted her deep emotional feelings in a very articulate way. I’m deeply touched by her beautiful writing. I wish Chrissy a lovely baby soon.”

An unexpected gift and blessing from South Korea, Waujeongsa Temple:

“The Day of Buddha’s coming fell on May 25th in the solar calendar.  I visited the temple a few days ago.  Notes with individuals’ wishes will be hung on the very day of Buddha’s coming.  I asked for an excuse to a monk and got the note beforehand.  So a few days ago, only your wishes were hung in the temple.  I like this better. I am sure that Buddha will show more mercy to you and your family.”
