With the holiday season coming up and some of us not getting our Christmas wish this year, I wanted to bump this thread.

Not strictly IF, but I have messages from here delivered to my inbox each day http://www.daniellelaporte.com/truthbomb/. Today's wasn't anything spectacular, but they're usually something empowering and/or motivating.

Also, not a quote, but this song has brought me to tears quite a few times lately.

So this link is semi inspirational. It's 13 things mentally strong people don't do. I think going through IF makes us all mentally strong. I'm still amazed at how sane I am after doing all of this waiting. Some of it is inevitable for someone like us but it good to know how we can improve the way we take take our challenges in our life. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/6341412?ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000063

I saw this one posted on FB. It perfect for those of us who want to say goodbye to 2014 and look forward to 2015.
Also, I posted this before but 2015 will be our year!!!

@jaguar: I swear I posted a reply to your cat pic a few days ago. Think HB ate it in one of their glitches. Or maybe I forgot to hit submit. I found a dog one that was similar. Though yours is cuter.

Not sure that this is the right place to tell this story so just let me know...
While I struggled to get pregnant we decided that we'd buy things for our future baby anyway. Days after we met with the RE for the first time we found this very cool wire elephant that we wanted for our baby's nursery. When we went to purchase it the sales lady told us that in her culture an elephant with its trunk up is good luck. It was that month we finally became pregnant and we thought the elephant played a part. Fast forward about 18 months and the couple who struggled to get pregnant ends up with twins without trying. As I was joking about this elephant being our fertility good luck charm to a friend, she told me of her friend that had had two failed ivf tries and was about to go for a third. She asked if I might lend that friend the elephant from Jack's nursery while this friend underwent her month of ivf prep and procedure. So I said I couldn't guarantee it was truly lucky but I'd be happy to share it. Today I just got the message that this woman is pregnant and I am so happy. I'm not sure I can lend everyone my elephant but I hope this lends you all a bit of hope.

@marionberry: That is so beautiful. Makes me want to go and find my own little elephant that could bring us some luck. xx
