Every Adopted Child Has A Story
Flesh of my flesh is often never realized until the adopted child has grown and given birth to their own genetic destiny. An adoptee will hold their newborn with amazement and yet the same question will haunt them, linking them to their own birth mother. Why, why didn't you want me? Every birth mother for the duration of her life will ask the question "Will you ever forgive me?" What is your story of adoption? Have you begun the process to find one or both of your parents? Do you need to reconnect with your child that you gave up for adoption? What is your story and what has been your experience?


Every Embarrassing Moment Has A Story
Every embarrassing moment has a story and a subsequent lesson learned. Sometimes seen as humorous, it often develops into knowledge gained through great humiliation. Do you have an embarrassing moment that has left a lasting impression and changed how you now view others who have shared the same experience? It may range from a pregnant woman's water breaking in public to your child loudly announcing a private confidence in a public forum. Share your experience as you may find that a memory shared becomes less traumatic and can prove healing when confronted and acknowledged.


Every Breast Cancer Survivor Has A Story
Many believe that it will simply never happen to them. They quiet the fears with valid reasoning such as, “I’m too young, there is no history in my family, my children are too young, I eat well and I exercise.” Some will discover a lump or they will receive that dreaded 'call back' from their physician due to a suspicious test. Eventually there is another pain of reality as each woman wonders what will my husband think of me now? The mind goes blank as the Specialist confirms the diagnosis and then nothing registers as the course of intended treatment is provided. Every breast cancer survivor has a story of courage, of shutting down and eventually reaching out for others who have traveled the same difficult journey. There are two worlds co-existing, the one of the sick and the one of the well. Only after you have traveled on both paths, slowly making your way back to the world of the well can you truly appreciate the miracle of your renewed health. Please share your story of courage; there is someone who has just received this diagnosis and your words of comfort may help with their journey back to health.


Every Christmas Has A Story
Christmas holds special memories for all who celebrate this season. For some it's the gathering of friends and family with the magical clink of champagne glasses in celebration. For others it's the delight and wonder on children’s faces as they absorb the magic of this special season. We all fight crowds of shoppers and search for non-existent parking in an attempt to find the perfect gift for our loved ones. While children are sleeping, tired parents are stressed and working hard occupied with the wrapping and hiding of gifts. For others it's a time of prayer and gentle reflection in honoring whose birthday we are truly celebrating. Christmas can also be a lonely time for those who are sick or have lost their families. It also proves a difficult challenge for those struggling financially while still attempting to make Christmas day a special memory for their own children. What is your personal reflection of this holy season? Do you have a unique family tradition or special Christmas story to share?


Every Thanksgiving Has A Story
Thanksgiving is celebrated in October for Canadians while Americans celebrate during the month of November. However the United Kingdom does not partake with a national holiday to celebrate their Harvest Festival which occurs during the month of October. The Harvest Festival is in honor of the harvest having been successfully gathered throughout the United Kingdom. Thanksgiving is more than a day off from work and a delicious turkey dinner. Each Thanksgiving we give thanks, with a select number of years holding a deeper significance than others. Do you have a Thanksgiving story of unique importance to you? Is there a Thanksgiving that still touches your heart with an event that truly left you thankful?


Every Valentine's Day Has A Story
Men often select this traditional day of sweetheart gift giving to propose marriage. On February 14th men are seen carrying bouquets of flowers with a special evening already planned for their Valentine. For some it's a reminder that they have yet to meet their significant other, and for some couples it's the anniversary of their wedding. February 14th is a day that due to its very nature of romance is held separate from the rest. What was your most significant Valentine's Day? Do you have a special story of love to share that makes this your special day for romance?


Every Pregnancy Has A Story
Every woman holds a pregnant pause when first discovering their condition. We suddenly realize that we are embarking on a journey that is going to change our lives forever more. You are filled with terror, delight and wonder, then often overwhelmed with fear at the changes occurring within your body. I was only blessed with one pregnancy, but what a pregnancy it was and an experience I will never forget. If you've walked down this memorable path many years ago or have just discovered you are pregnant you are emotionally recording a story worth writing and remembering. How has this experience changed you, how has it affected your relationships and what fears do you have regarding the years ahead. In Every Pregnancy Has A Story this is an opportunity to record and publish a precious time in your life and one your child will enjoy reading in the years ahead.


Every Expectant Mother Has A Story
An expectant mother does not necessarily have to be the birth mother of a child. An expectant mother may be a childless woman hoping to one day have their own baby after coping with the frustrations of a fertility problem. An expectant mother may be waiting an eternity of time, praying there will one day be a baby available for adoption. An expectant mother has a heart full of love desperately waiting for a child who needs their mothering. If you have experienced the desire for your own child or are waiting for a baby to adopt then you have a story of love and nurturing that should be shared.


Every Birth Has A Story
We have all heard them, the birth stories that fill us with fear while we are blissfully enjoying the nine months of our treasured pregnancy. Some enjoy retelling the terror of the pain however for others they prefer to share the wonderful memories of first holding their newborn baby. These are the moments that stay with a woman for the rest of her life and can only be shared by one who has travelled the journey. If this is your first pregnancy and you are looking forward to physically holding your baby then share your feelings. If the story of your child's birth still touches your heart with treasured memories then sharing such a life altering event should be shared as well.


Every Couple Has A Story
These are the ties that bind a man to a woman, a husband to a wife, a boyfriend to his girlfriend. Every couple has a story that is uniquely special to their union. There will be that special moment, that special "lifetime" memory that will forever link them one to the other. Every relationship will ride the ebbs and flows of emotional contentment and discord and yet they are drawn back together. I share a special memory with my husband that I cling to during those moments when I search my heart for validation of why I love and married him. No matter what happens in our marriage or what the nature of my discontent I will draw upon that memory to acknowledge why I respect and cherish him so dearly. Every wife, every husband, every relationship will have a moment that is unique and unites a couple. What better gift than to acknowledge your relationship and share how special your relationship is than in writing your story for Every Couple Has A Story.


Every Love Story Has A Story
I have been in love but twice in my life despite the number of relationships I have shared in this journey of my self discovery. For each time I have been in love I’ve learned a lesson and have buried within my heart a special story of personal significance. It is said to never throw away a love letter because in later years the letter and the memory will serve a greater purpose. For those who have dealt with an extended separation or long distance relationship the words in a card may hold the same significance. Every love story begins with a chance meeting; I've told my husband that I consistently avoided relationships with all men for over ten years prior to meeting him. Due to the unusual circumstances surrounding our meeting, I truly believe we were predestined to cross paths in precisely the manner we did or it may never have happened. Had I known how significant that day was going to be, I often wonder would I have done anything differently. What is your love story, how has your special relationship contributed to your happiness and changed your life?


Every Best Friend Has A Story
The personal story of my own best friend will be one of the more difficult stories that I will be writing for this series. I met my best friend, Dolores, over 40 years ago when we were children in elementary school. She was my bridesmaid when I married and then comforted me later when I finally divorced. Dolores was the only person I wanted with me while I labored for countless hours when my son was born. She was also the one selected to inform me of my father's passing several days later following my son's birth. I have a bond with her that transcends this world and will remain in my heart forever more; yet she is no longer a part of my life. She will forever remain my best friend though as I will never bestow that treasured title on any other woman in my life as I know it now. Do you share such a relationship? Do you have a best friend who you wish to acknowledge in this special book that will honor the importance of the best friend relationship? Every best friend does indeed have a story and should be acknowledged, for only another best friend holds within their heart the significance of such a relationship. What does your best friend mean to you? How has his or her presence changed your life?
