My husband and I ate tofu. We were runners. We married, worked, and traveled the world for 7 years, anticipating that when we were ready, we would have children. After a very unexpected miscarriage (wait, now…we’re healthy! How could that happen?!) we didn’t conceive until five years later, all the while getting poked and prodded and tested and doing several expensive IVF treatments. A five year wait. Not fair. (But I thought we were special!) It was a tough time for we Big Manifesters. I dropped the assumption of being blessed. We finally had healthy twins. A boy and a girl. It’s a story of stepping down out of the Special Zone.

I think you’re special, Jeff. You remind me of Jagger. I thought I was special in the first years of life. My brother died and I was sad. I was an A student which kept my dad happy but not me. I studied with Buddhists in high school and changed lanes for life. I got happy and have sought peace ✌🏽 and joy every day since.
