A family isn't determined by who is or isn't in it, or how it came to be, but by the bond that is created by the love that is shared.

Listen to the Music

My horoscope for today:

Today the universe is sending you some strong energy that will keep you grounded when you move into an unfamiliar situation. So don't worry if you're going on a first date, scheduled for a job interview, or having some other kind of unsettling conversation. You'll stay cool, calm and collected no matter what is going down. You'll be able to focus more on the exhilarating aspects of the unknown, and less on the scary aspects of it. You're about to learn about qualities you never knew you had.

Uh, okay. So, you hear that music playing yet? Give it a minute to start. Listen to the words.... Do you hear it?

I'M ON MY WAY!!!

Yes, to Kazakhstan! Despite the expectation by all that I would not be traveling until the end of the month or early August, the call came this afternoon to get myself on a plane ASAP! I'm scrambling to get everything done at work and home and am leaving Saturday.

My stomach is in knots, my head is pounding, my shoulders and neck are so tight I can barely move, and I'm terrified! Sound about right? ;) So much for "cool, calm, and collected!" Deep breaths. And again. One more time. I can do this!

Woo-hoo! My little Kaz boy, I'm on my way to you!!

I'm right behind Erlan's parents in all thoughts.

Your horoscope is right on - the whole process leads to the first date with your baby and your job interview to motherhood.

You and Regina are going to Rock-tobe for sure.

Yeah!!! I am so glad that you will be one your way this weekend. It is a journey of a lifetime. You leave one year from the date when I met my littlest and she is a dream.

Best of luck,
