I also lost my first baby...she was still born at 37 weeks due to a cord accident. It was about 6 weeks ago. She is my first and my only baby right now and we can't hold her. Its hard but I find hope in people like you that have endured and who do have other children and keep on living life. Thank you. <BR/><BR/>AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09858413787033500761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3366315366123515090.post-17797639766494479922009-02-24T13:07:00.000-05:002009-02-24T13:07:00.000-05:00Natalie, Wow is all I can say.

This post made me cry because I know I have always had feelings like that but I have never been brave enough to let them out. For often times I do care too much about what others think. I have peaked in on your blog a few times and I am always in awe at how you express yourself. I have very strong feelings how the election turned out, but I am scared to voice my opinion because the person that I disagree with is now my husband's boss. I will defiantly have to keep up with your blog more often.

I think it's always interesting how when we look within and focus on self, we end up opening ourselves in ways that serve others. This post seems to do that. I love your take on being strengthened by the judgements of others. I don't know that I could do that, but it's worth exploring!!!

All I can say is that, you are much more articulate at voicing political opinions than I am, and I'm in awe of how, time after time, it's EXACTLY what I would have said myself if I could have organized the thoughts. My mind doesn't usually run in the political vein, although I'm more aware every day of the need to educate myself, form an opinion, and be willing to speak out. I think we all have experiences and sorrows that give us our depth of character, and force us to grow. Hopefully it's in a positive direction. Getting involved in these discussions helps me think, form my own opinions, and feel more strongly about them. Thanks for saying the things you do. You are clear and focused. The others are only a loud, annoying noise.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313237142656662148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3366315366123515090.post-43784678745396365592009-02-23T14:06:00.000-05:002009-02-23T14:06:00.000-05:00I may not know you - buy I do know that I choose t...I may not know you - buy I do know that I choose to read your blog - just as you choose to write it.

That as much as they want to, they will never be able to amount to the life experience, the know how, and the unbelievable character that you have Natalie. People judge because they don't know. But you are right, they do not know you, the depths of your soul, they do not know the experiences you have had. You are amazing, never stop what you do.
