Just ONE of my heros

If you know me, you know that I LOVE reality TV. One of my favorite shows is on the Style network. It is called Giuliana and Bill. I watched the first season of "The Apprentice" so I knew who Bill was...but I didn't know much about Giuliana until this show. Let me just say that she is one of my heros. I just ADORE her. Not only is she tall, beautiful, skinny, with a great fashion sense-she is smart, funny, humble and family-oriented. I love that she is so quick-witted, I wish I could be as funny as her. I love that she seems to let so much just roll off her back, she rolls with the punches. I love how OPEN and HONEST she is, without being hurtful or rude. I love that she is so determined in all that she does. PUT that all together and I especially LOVE how determined she was to get pregnant, how open she was to share it with the WORLD. Every week I watch the show and I laugh, I cry, I sigh at the love that she and Bill share. I have a good friend who is an IVF success story and I was there and watched her start the process, so watching Giuliana go through her journey with IVF just brings back those memories. Sadly, I saw, as the world did-her have a miscarriage and how heart wrenching it was for her. This week's episode showed her break the news of the miscarriage on her OWN E-News show. I admire her bravery to share her journey-including sessions with her therapist. So many people have fertility problems and feel that they are alone and I love that she is out there putting a face on such a common problem. She also decided on this weeks episode to finally go through another round of IVF. I am so excited for them and I hope that they get their wish. I see how IVF has brought happiness to so many of my friends and I wish her the same happiness. I wish I could give her some encouraging words-I believe that things happen for a reason and I think that children would be such a change to her and Bill's lifestyle and I think that the struggle that she has had is just to prove to herself that she REALLY wants kids and that all the sacrifices were worth it. I believe that they are and that is a lesson to all of us.
