The whistle blows informing me that the water for my Liver Cleanse Flushing Tea is ready. It is one of the steps in the Fertility Cleanse I am doing over the next 30 days. A natural way to rid your liver and uterus of toxins, I figure it can at least be beneficial to me and at most helpful with conception. No pressure; just health.

With the cleanse in mind it was hard for me to believe the statistic that was on the pages of April's Women's Health. Knowing how scientifically difficult it is to get pregnant it's hard for me to believe that almost half of the kiddos being born are unintended. (Key word is unintended...not unwanted!)

More and more I'm realizing that science has very little to do with this process. Some scientific facts are important to understand and keep in mind like proper nutrition and alcohol consumption; overall maintenance of your baby's "home." However, even that shines a light on the Lord's beautiful grace and understanding. He made all of it and science is just critiquing his masterpiece.

So onward I go on the path I have been given. I believe God knows I need to be in the 51% because I don't do well with surprises. (I'd like to think I'm spontaneous but that would just be wishful thinking.) Although He doesn't need to, the Lord continues to reveal His plan for me. Praying I will keep my eyes open and not miss anything!

Practice makes perfect

I was told the other day that there is a 'secret' amongst writers on how to become a good writer...Write every day! You don't have to wait for something amazingly spectacular to come up to write about. Just the practice of getting your thoughts out there will eventually produce the good stuff.

Why didn't I think of that? Perhaps its my perfectionist mind that got in the way. I needed to be thinking more like a child, in the days when there was no wrong or right when it came to creativity. The days when it was all good as long as you tried.

So try is what I will do. I am committing to writing every day for the next two weeks. I thought about making it 30 days but I want to set myself up for success. Plus, I know if I make it those two weeks it'll pretty much be locked down as a habit. Heeeere we go... I'm excited!
