Hi Chandra! As a fellow artist myself, your work and entire story is such an inspiration for me! I run my own business and am a workafrolic as well, working anywhere from 80-100 hrs per week. And I too, have been holding much hope to be able to conceive children. It makes me sick to look at facebook sometimes because last year alone, 9 of my friends were pregnant. Another 5 already this year. It hurts so much because it’s not me being able to share baby news. But reading this, your story has really put some much needed hope into my life. We have not been trying quite as long as you have, but it’s been a rollercoaster of emotion regardless. I’m so happy for you and your husband! I am a strong believer that things happen as they are suppose to, and when. God bless you and your husband and your baby! Many prayers to you for a full and blessed life, which you already seem to have a lot of. Keep up the great work and enjoy motherhood! I can’t wait to see what a little baby will do for the art inspiration! It will be truly fantastic!
Best wishes always,
Kellee

Brandi! Hi sweet girl. I’ve been so consumed with so many changes around here, that I feel fortunate that you’ve been patient, supportive and so understanding – because of course, I just LOVE your blog and can’t wait for a time when we can pair up

I also love that you said Romans 8:28 at work. It is the TRUTH and there is nothing that summarizes my experience more! Hallelujah!!

Thank you, thank you!!

Beth & Deb – I did NOT know that. Two of my closest friends in the world are both adopted too. I think that’s another reason I’ve always pictured myself adopting. I still want to even with one on the way. Thank you for sharing that with me.

You are so special to me, I find it hard to put into words. It’s just that this career I carved out for myself a few years ago has been so amazing in SO many ways – but the absolute most rewarding part of what I have created is the ability to connect with women like you and Deb who inspire me to no end.

I admire you, I adore you and I am so so so happy and honored to have you share in this joy with me!!!! I am VERY lucky to have such great women in my life.

What a wonderful thing to say Mary! I thank you so much for that – prayers and support – are the only things that got me to this point, so I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate that.

You are such a beautiful, sweet soul. THANK YOU!

Hi Love,

I am so proud of you!!! First and foremost, Congratulations to you and Bob!! What a life changing blessing…I type this crying happy tears for you both. Jeff and I waited for a year after being married for our daughter Bella. I was alone at home. Took the test in the bathroom. Once I saw the results I dropped to my knees on the bathroom floor and praised and cried, praised and cried some more. In between tears kept taking a look at the test to verify over and over it was really true. I thanked God and later that day drove to Jeff’s work. Picked him and showed him the test in the parking lot of Thundercloud on Burnet Road. We cried in gratitude together. 7 years later you take me right back to that moment of my pregnancy test and my heart fills with joy all over again. Being a Mom is fantastic. Nothing in the world like it. You are so very blessed.

Much Love,

Jeff, DeDe, and Bella Bratcher

Hey Chandra, I figured something was up when you weren’t on facebook. I would love to congratulate you on your wonderful news. I just wanted to let you know you were so kind to me to respond when I wrote you a message the very first time, I knew you had heart and you were genuine. I couldn’t believe an artist who I admire so much took the time to… See More conversate with me and sent a note to me when I placed an order. You are so special, and I just wanted you to know from a personal point, my mother suffered from endometriosis and she was told she couldn’t have kids. My mother looked the doctor right into his eyes and said we will see what God has to say about that. Well ms. chandra just to let you know that my mother went ahead and had three of us. Im just here to encourage you that I wish you all the best and believe me the best is yet to come. God bless you real good!!!!!!!!! Lonnie Anietra Jordan aka Laj
