Not much longer and I am taking my girls to DISNEYLAND! My husband decided that he is not a disney kind of guy and choose to stay home and I said I was still going to go!! Whoo hoo!. Sorry, I have never been in my entire life! My parents used to say that they would take us.. they never did. I did not want to do the same thing to my girls, so I am doing it! We are gone for a week. I am going to be away from my computer, and not sure I can do it! lol.
For those of you who have made payments recently, they are being scheduled for when I get back home, but I have added an incentive to make up for the wait:) Most people seem to be pleased!
I actually just bought myself a laptop as well, and was so tempted to bring it with me and continue working. I felt in the end, that I would be too worried about bringing it and forgetting it, that I figure it was best to leave it at home. I know that I could use the re-charge as well so probably for the best.
The laptop is going to create alot of good changes for me. My computer currently is in my office downstairs. During the day its almost impossible to come online and do any emails, readings, or scheduling or even replies. My youngest senses that I have left the room and is down here with me and wanting Barney on the other computer. With having a lap top, I can take an hour while she watches her barney movie and reply or schedule and focus more time at night completing my readings and updating my blog! Its going to accomplish alot and i am so excited for this!
So thank you all for your patience while I went through the grieving process of lossing my mom back in March, and for the fact I am offline for a week. I love you all and looking forward to growing together for many years to come!
Since my mind seems to be thinking Disney, when I get back, big blog contest to come. its going to be challenging, but FUN!!!

So do I win the clutzy mommy award?
I do believe everything happens in three's, so I am just wondering what is coming next!
A little while ago, I was here in the computer room with my youngest. She wanted to go back upstairs so off we went. I headed for the door that goes through the laundry room so we could make our way up there while carrying my youngest. Well I forgot about the bike helmet that was right at the doorway :( I stuck my foot in it and started to loose my balance. You know that running stumble you do when trying to regain your footing? Well I was doing that and trust me, it did not look graceful! This is something you would have expected on Amercia's Funniest Home Videos! Only the unfunny part was I was hold my almost 2 year old! I managed to cradle her and took the fall/impact on myself. My elbow was skinned, my knee bruised and I hurt all over. My youngest was crying, but more from being startled. When she looked at me, my hair was in my face, she stopped crying, fixed my hair and then started to cry again!
This morning, I was getting ready to have a shower. Usually my youngest will try and sneak in with me. This morning my husband left for work later, so it allowed me to sneak in while she was distracted. I get into the bathroom, turn the shower on, move the curtain and goto stick my right foot into the tub. Well the bottom of the tub might as well have been a slip and slide that's how slippery it was. I explained to a friend it was like stepping into butter and having no traction. Before I could even so "Oh *$#@!" I was on the bottom of the tub. I smashed my nose/face on the back of the tub (its one of those deep ones) and my left leg thigh on the side of the tub as it was dragged down into the tub with me. The worse part, was the shower was obviously not adjusted well and the water seemed to be cold. My husband came rushing in to find out what happened, and the first words out of my mouth was that the water was cold! He kinda laughed and asked if I had horrible balance. I explained what happened, and then continued with my shower. Last night my two girls had a bath with ALOT of bubbles. I guess when we drained the bath, it did not all go down. I will remember that for next time.
Lesson learned... and now about to pass it on to you mommies or soon to be mommies (and I guess daddies who do this too!) If you are taking your child into the shower with you, hop in first.... then turn to pick up your little one and bring them in. Had I been climbing in while holding my youngest (which I ALWAYS do) she would have had the brunt of the accident. Freaks me out to think "what if".
I am "okay". My nose is sensitive and sore. Not broken, but I am sure there will be a bruise there later. There is a nice color bruise on my left thigh (inner) though that hurts to sit down!

Something else to try?
I posted awhile ago asking for stories of inspiration for everyone on my blog. So for those of you who have emailed me with your storey thank you! I have not replied to everyone as of yet, but please know that I have recieved it and will be in touch! Here is the first storey of one of my clients on what worked for them!
I also wanted to share that I did get a BFP last May, using Soy in the same matter you would use clomid. That worked for me even when Clomid did not. I think it's worth looking into and trying if your not O'ing. Sadly I did lose that baby, because it was in my tubes. I'm 6dpo and of my 1st cycle after a long break. Hopefully I have some good news to share soon!~
A.J.
I asked my client to explain more on how she used this suppliment and this is what she provided.
With the soy, I take it cycle day 3-7 and I take about twice the mg as I took when I O'd using clomid. So I take 120mg of soy and I take it at night. So just like you would take clomid.
If anyone has any questions about what she has done, please feel free to write a comment in this section and perhaps she can either reply if she is able or you can email me and I will try and get the information for you.

What will your obituary say about you?
I know, sounds like an ugly topic and who wants to think about thier own death? Your probably wondering why someone so positive and upbeat and doesn't focus on anything negative would put a topic up like this for discussion at all? Well, actually the reason is very simple. To make you think... to make you figure out what you want your life to be. Because in the end, its the memories that people will remember. For my mom, we wrote that she had a heart of gold. She always went above and beyond for everyone she met. Whether friend, family or stranger, everyone got amazing treatment from my mother.
For me, I would love to be remembered as someone who cared, someone who spent her life trying to help others. I think that I am actually going to try and do more than just that. In the next few years I am going to try and make sure that there is more to me. That I enjoy my life as much as possible and have fun. Learn...LIVE.
Now congrats to poster # 3!!!! ALICIA! Please email me at cheri22@gmail.com to claim your reading. I will forward you to Leah's email as I see its not hooked up to the blog just yet. I have to fix that!

The mommy instinct... who would have known!
Well last night was a "wierd" night for me. I goto bed around 11pm and had just started to fall asleep. I then felt my door open and I looked just as my soon to be 7 year old was closing the door. I called to her which she opened the door again and came in. I asked her "why are you out of bed?" Shes the last one I would expect to wander out of her bed! She told me she did not know. I offered to walk her back to her room and then again asked her why she was out of bed and if everything was okay. She again said she did not know. I tucked her in and headed back to my own room wondering if she had been sleep walking? (She's never done it before)
1:30am has me bolting out of my bedroom and running up and down the hallway. At first, being jolted awake by who knows what I am confused as to why I am even out of bed! I walked fast from my room to the end of the hallway into my eldests room. Perhaps I thought it was her that I was now hearing cry. Then I realize its not coming from there and I am having trouble pinpointing where the crying is coming from! I go back down the hall to realize that my youngests door is wide open. (its usually almost shut) and then I realize shes not in there. I start to head towards the stairs and can hear her crying. I go downstairs and realize that shes standing at the doorway to my computer room and is bawling cause I am not there. Shes never done this. Anytime shes woken up she comes right into my room. I think that my "mommy instinct" kicked in when she was on her way into the computer room. I dont think that I would have heard any crying from our room and the baby monitor is not hooked up in my room!
What a wierd experience. I think it was a rough night for her too as she ended up in my room once more after that!

2012 - are we doomed?
I think that by now we have all heard about the Maya Calendar and the end of the world on December 21, 2012. Now I guess is do you believe it? I know that its said that the Maya's predicted alot of events that have already happened and that their calendar ended on that particular date. People are now trying to translate that as to thinking that means that the end of the world is over at that date. I know we have websites going crazy with that, we have movies filling our head with doom and gloom.. you want my take on it?
I am the first to be scared of things like this. I know that the Y2K freaked me out and was so happy to be in the middle of no where with my close family hoping that if anything did happen that I would be fine! lol. I know that Sylvia Browne has predicted the end of the world for 2021 in her books saying that her visions do not go past that. (shes also predicted we will see aliens in 2010 and that it will be known once and for all that they do exist and no denying, so still waiting to see if that one is true!)
I guess for me, when I try and see if this is true, I ask my guides to please provide further insight on this. The interpretation is that NO this is not going to be the end of the world (but there are some people who are aiming to be disruptive and cause alot of problems!) That the reason for the Maya's ending their calendar at that point....well why not? You do have to stop somewhere or your going to have to keep writing it forever right? I think that they went pretty far with their calendar as it was. Its like trying to write all the numbers down in order.....are you just going to keep going "forever" and writing the numbers down or counting them? Cause you know they never end right? Just like the calendar. They had to stop somewhat and why not December 21, 2012? I know it sounds silly to not goto the 31st of December as technically thats the end of the year... but then I wonder.. what if back in the day when the Maya's were around, what if December 31st was NOT the end of the year?
Something to think about. Would love to hear your opinions on this.
(these are my thoughts and information I have received and are just that)

Ready.....Set.....INSPIRE!
I always love getting clients to update me when they have conceived. I also love clients providing their secrets and tips on what worked for them and how long they were trying to conceive before they got their bfp. I think its great that we can all connect together and share this wonderful information, with the hopes that its going to help someone else figure it out and get pregnant! I have one storey here right now to share with you all, and another that shes going to make me wait until November to share. She wants to have the storey from start to finish and having the feelings of holding this much anticipated baby in her arms! So for any of you who have gotten your bfps, past, present or future, and want to share your storey please do! Email me at cheri22@gmail.com and put in "INSPIRATION" in the subject line. I actually provide a free bypass reading (value 10.00) in exchange for your storey. I will edit out your name if you prefer to remain anon.
Hiya Cheri
Many thanks for you reply & I love the girl prediction! But am just so thrilled to be pregnant that a healthy baby is all that is important. I hope you are doing as well as can be expected after your bereavement x
It has taken us 3 and a half years to get to a positive pregnancy test & I know there are many more hurdles. We had breaks for my back operation and my husband was ill at the beginning of 2009.
What is incredible and cannot merely be a coincidence is that I have got pregnant twice the cycle in which I had a HyCoSy! Thankfully my tubes were clear but obviously seem to have benefited from a spring clean!
Just to give you TMI this is what we did:-
HyCoSy on cd8
Had sex 6 days in a row from cd13 to cd 18, Positive ovulation tests were on CD14 & 15
Used Zestica instead of Pre-Seed, it's cheaper & less gooey than Pre-Seed, can get it on eBay
Always missionary position & made sure climaxed after hubby, used toys if necessary!
Legs in air for at least half an hour & tried not to pee for as long as possible
Have been eating loads of chocolate & Yakult (probiotic drink)
Had almost given up!
Hope that helps. Really think the HyCoSy was the key for me.
Best wishes
H.B.

Happy Easter!
Today the easter bunny visited our house. I made sure that there was a bit more toys than candy this year which I think that both the girls really liked. They got bubbles and some chalk, sutffed animal and a handful of chocolate. It was also my Uncles 60th birthday.
My mom was all about the holidays. Didn't matter what the holiday, it was something she loved to do. She would have bought the girls a few little trinkets from the dollar store and made ure to give them it before Easter. She would have also been at this birthday party. It was strange walking through the house, because literally everytime I walked into a new room I fully expected to see my mother there. When outside playing with my youngest, as we started to walk into the front door, I actually caught myself saying "okay, lets go find Grandma Sheila". (this is what my girls called my mom) I just kinda laughed at myself... wondering if perhaps it is just the memory of her being there that was so familiar, or if my spirit guides were infact alerting me to her presense and in what room she happened to be and I didn't realize it! (untill I went to say her name).
Anyways, I hope everyone got to spend some nice time with thier families. I know Easter can be a religious holiday as well so whatever the reason I hope you had a good weekend.
