Today’s theme on World Childless Week is our story. For many people this may be the first time that they have shared their story with the wider world. If this is the case for you then “well done”. It takes a lot of courage to step so far out of your comfort zone and perhaps run the risk of criticism from family and friends.
Sharing stories is good for us as it helps us to be authentic about what is going on in our lives. It is also very good for other people. Reading a story that is similar to our own, helps us realise that we are not alone, and that other people can “get it”. We are reminded that we are worthy of being listened to.
Unfortunately, when we are feeling overwhelmed by our situation it is easy to get stuck in our story. It is hard to make changes and break free from the emotions that are so painful.
It takes courage to say, “enough is enough” or “I want to change my stars”. However, when Creating A New, Beautiful And Courageous Existence, that is exactly what we need to do.
Andrew and I recently said “enough” to one aspect of our lives that we have been struggling with for the last two years. Watch my video to find out more.
