Book Review: A Few Good Eggs: Two Chicks Dish on Overcoming the Insanity of Infertility by Julie Vargo and Maureen Regan

Going through infertility is overwhelming. Here are two “girlfriends” who can help you find the way through it with humor and warmth but nothing left unsaid. Julie Vargo, a journalist and Maureen Regan, a literary agent, speak from experience, sharing their stories and research to give you what you need to navigate the world of infertility treatments. A must-read for anyone who thought they’d just decide when to have children, then couldn’t.

Of Note: From How to Meditate: A Guide to Self-Discovery by Lawrence LeShan

The Meditation of Contemplation—Contemplation is a structured meditation of the outer way. You take [an] object, hold it at a comfortable eye range for you, feeling free to movie it closer or farther away as you please, and just look at it.

It is very hard. Give yourself permission to make constant slips from the directions. You will make them anyway and will be much more comfortable…if you give yourself permission in advance. Treat yourself as if you were a much-loved child that an adult was trying to keep walking on a narrow sidewalk. The child is full of energy and keeps running off to the fields on each side to pick flowers, feel the grass, climb a tree. Each time you are aware of the child leaving the path, you say in effect, “Oh, that’s how children are. Okay, honey, back to the sidewalk,” and bring yourself gently but firmly and alertly back to just looking.

"Motherhood brings as much joy as ever, but it still brings boredom, exhaustion, and sorrow, too. Nothing else ever will make you as happy or sad, as proud or as tired, for nothing is quite as hard as helping a person develop his or her own individuality-- especially while you struggle to keep
your own." ­Marguerite Kelly and Elia Parsons
