"She’s pregnant now what?
So, she's pregnant.
If you're like I was, you're scared to death. And pretty confused, too.
Now what are you going to do? I know you haven't asked for my advice, but I'd like to share how I got through the same problem. Maybe you'll find something that will help you come up with your own answer.
For me, it got real hot, real fast. See, when a girl gets pregnant, only one of two things is going to happen. Either she is going to have the baby, or she is going to get an abortion. And what I found out was that it really wasn't up to me. But more on that in a minute. Then, it's going to be decided who is going to raise the baby and how that is going to be done. Looking back, it looked sort of simple, but you already know it's not!"

This was taken from an old brochure pre 2020 (2018) and I was putting it in our file cabinets and thinking - man we have come so far ... thinking there is so much more information we know in the technological era that I wish I could talk to this guy. I wish I could tell him "there is a third choice" and we are here to talk through it with your girl struggling with a decision and you too! See comments below for a few resources we give with powerful and redeeming stories to show that options are where you get to explore your next steps; making an informed choice. The right coach can guide you through with no pressure and no rush! Pregnancy isn't the end of your life plan, it can be the beginning of a new life plan.

NATIONAL I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY DAY

"National I Want You to be Happy Day on March 3rd encourages us to do something that makes others happy. It also asks us to see others' happiness from their point of view. Putting a smile on someone's face tends to put one on ours, too."

Happiness is the highest form of health. ~ Dalai Lama

One of the concepts we share with our clients in coaching is the Success Sequence. I am glad it is going national in all places and parts because I have seen its success. Read this (with an open mind it isn't just for 'conservatives') :)

Bills in at least seven GOP-led states would require lessons on the “success sequence.” Critics say it ignores systemic challenges and stigmatizes non-traditional families.
