My horoscope this week: I'm becoming wilder and kinder and smarter and more beautiful 4 days ago

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Nietzsche’s dictum might be useful for you to keep in mind right now, Leo: “If it doesn’t kill you, it’ll make you stronger.” Since I’m very sure that the turbulent waters through which you’re navigating will not kill you, I’m looking forward to all the ways this journey will upgrade your confidence and enhance your power. But there’s more to be gained, beyond what Nietzsche formulated. It’s also true that if it doesn’t kill you (which it won’t), it will make you wilder and kinder and smarter and more beautiful.

Thanks, Rob Breszny!

Great friends 4 days ago

My three closest friends have really been there for me during this little rollercoaster of uncertainty about my pregnancy. I am so, so grateful to have such great friends in my life.

Reminders that life is fragile and precious, helping me to keep things in perspective 5 days ago

In addition to my pregnancy ending, here have been some other recent health crises in my circle of loved ones. This is actually helping me keep everything in perspective: to see that life is fragile and precious and we should treasure every second of the time we have together.

It’s easier to let go of the idea of a baby coming in February that I’ve only been imagining for 10 days, for example, than it would be to lose your 12-year-old to a mysterious unexplained brain hemorrhage. Thankfully that family did not lose their daughter; she came home from the hospital yesterday and we went to visit her and gawk at her shaved head covered with gnarly stitches. I am SOO glad she’s still in my life, and for all my loved ones for that matter! Another loved one, a baby, would have been the icing on the cake… and hopefully I can still have that at some point in the future. But I am really very blessed either way.

(Look at this goal, and what it actually says: to live in gratitude and be happy… even if I never have a baby. I know I could do it if that’s the way things worked out.)
