Trials Bring Joy 
Beautifully written Chelsea. I appreciate this perspective, and hope that many others choose to share their stories as well!
Thank YOU for sharing your story! You encourage me!
Hello Chelsea, I enjoy your writing style! I have a proposal: Might you consider a book review, please? I’m grateful to share that my book, “Two Eggs, Two Kids: An egg donor’s account of friendship, infertility & secrets” (2015) won the grand prize at 2015 San Francisco Book Festival. If you’re interested, I’d be delighted to send an ebook or hard copy. This Amazon link makes it easy to read back copy and peek inside: http://amzn.to/1Ujb71x
