“I believe that an experience makes a better gift than material objects. When I think of the best gifts I’ve been given, they have been experiences that changed my life. My friend gifted me a flight, which led to my being able to overcome fear. It was truly incredible and unforgettable.” – Dr. Cecilia Aragon,

The beauty of uncertainty is infinite possibility. When you don’t know what’s next, you don’t know what’s next—which means anything can be next! I think when you think you know what’s next, you’re in tunnel vision. You’ll see what’s in the realm of what you think should be next. When you’re uncertain, you open yourself up to opportunities you may have otherwise not seen as opportunities.Tunde Oyeneyin

Dear God, in a world where it’s easy to sink into darkness and despair, give me the hope and strength to find the love, the joy, and all the good that life has to offer. Remind me that my purpose is bigger than myself and keep me on the path to building a more compassionate world. Amen.

How did you and your partner stay romantically connected during the postpartum period? Tell us the playful, creative ways you showed love and intimacy when sex wasn’t always an option. Here’s what some of you had to say.
Date nights go a long way One of the things that helped us the most was going out and spending the night elsewhere every now and then. These little times alone away from everything helped our marriage tremendously. –J. Marcelo “BeeZee” Baqueroalvarez
Text each other [In the postpartum period, my partner and I] texted like teenagers all hours of the day: silly, heartfelt and thoughtful pictures, hilarious quotes and videos, with no obligation to view them or respond. Remember, your partner is not only your lover and the parent of your child, but also your best friend. You can still share humor and feel that joy you felt passing notes in the second grade. You’ll get back to normality eventually, but until then, try texting — it saved us. –Marnie McCasland
Be intentional about spending time together My partner and I struggled with this but we made time to talk to each other and hear out what each person needed. Spending family time together, going on walks, making time for dinner dates or relaxing together when the kids went to bed helped us feel connected again. And expressing gratitude! –Elisa Gunn
You may have a lot to share, but not everything on your mind needs to be released in this public forum. “Parties are for mingling, so avoid dominating discussions or talking too much about yourself,” Otabor says. “Engage briefly, listen actively, and give others a chance to connect.” If you feel like you’re carrying the conversation too much, ask some open-ended questions or fun conversation starters to offer others a chance to open up.
