(Mind you since I don't wear makeup and only occasionally style my hair with more than a few brushstrokes I have a pretty relaxed idea of what it means to be put together). On the other hand my mental pictures are often hilariously wrong! so it's fun to see a real face.torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-82061291985702882202016-04-02T16:18:10.146-07:002016-04-02T16:18:10.146-07:00I love this post.

You look so pensive, but beautiful. I love the thoughtfulness in your eyes. I also thought you were blonde for some reason, no clue why. It's lovely to see the face that goes with the name and the story.

I have posted a couple of photos of myself on my blog, but you'd probably have to hunt to find them ;) and most of them are older, childhood photos, etc. <br /><br />Small confession: I have to admit I always pictured you as a blonde -- maybe because of the Minnesota connection. ;) loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-42700412322325130322016-03-31T06:52:56.297-07:002016-03-31T06:52:56.297-07:00Very nice to meet you face to face!

It was empowering to be part of a project that gave infertility a real face.

But moreover, to make concrete the imaginary infertile woman referred to in articles. We're real people with real feelings and real stories.<br /><br />A funny side story: I once was seated next to my RE at a dinner and he didn't recognize me. I think he was so accustomed to looking at only... um... one end of me that he never really processed my face. It was really weird having him introduce himself to me, and having to tell him that we actually see each all the time. Just in a very different setting and under very different circumstances.Lollipop Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020874415819057995noreply@blogger.com
