Kate, thanks for sharing your story. A miscarriage has to be one of the darkest experiences a woman can have, particularly when it drags on due to complications. The fact that you were able to gain some important message out of it is pretty amazing. May you continue to be blessed by slowing down. Peace.

Rachelle, it means a lot to hear you saying there's good soulfood here. Thanks!

Luci, I love picturing you doing the Happy Dance (even though I have no idea what you look like!). I felt the need to document the process of drawing a name, so I took two photos and Tweeted them (one of me reaching into the bag before I drew, and one right after): http://tweetphoto.com/8709665
