Wednesday's Connections Abound

Welcome to today's edition of Connections Abound. The Face-to-Face Lost and Found page is permanently located beneath this current post. Old Connections Abound can be accessed via the date or subject archives listed on the sidebar. Check the submissions page, FAQ, and ways to get involved for additional information. Email me at thetowncriers@gmail.com with any questions/concerns.

Lost and Found is open to anyone in the infertility, pregnancy loss, adoption, pregnancy-and-parenting after infertility, assisted conception, living child-free after infertility or loss community (as well as anyone I inadvertently missed on that list). Please support the list as well as anyone posting announcements below.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS
New
  • Life is getting back to normal. Sorry for the spotty LFCAs for the last two weeks. I went far back into the updates I had unless the news seemed old. I think I am switching to posting the LFCA in the morning starting next week. I seem to be up in the air about this as I settle into a new schedule. Sorry about that. It just means that if you want to make sure you have something in the next morning, send it the afternoon or the night before.
  • New IComLeavWe list is up for September. Join the comment-loving-athon.
  • Bridges continues to post daily. And it continues to be an amazing resource for insight into a multitude of worlds. And I'm not just saying that because I work on it.
  • Watch It: Watch Jenn from Jenn's Journal on the news!
  • Watch It: Resolve's Advocacy Day video.
