Superstitious

I'm not superstitious at all.  Sometimes I almost wish I were more, but I'm not.  However, last night we were out for dinner with some church folk, all of whom were minimum 60 years older than us, and a superstition came up that I would like to believe.  We were having tea and coffee after the dinner and the host brought out the teapot.  She poured some for herself and then handed me the pot.  She then said, "Now I'm not superstitious so I'll let you pour your own tea."  I had no idea what she was talking about, and she explained that there was a superstition that if you pour tea in someone else's house, you are bringing a baby into your own house.  To be more exact (I googled), the superstition says that when two women are having tea together, the second one to pour from the pot will become pregnant and have a red-haired baby.  Beware!  Haha!  We all laughed, but secretly I hoped the tradition was true!  Except for the red-haired baby... with a Korean husband with the dominant gene being dark hair, I don't think that will happen (and no redheads in my family).

In other news, I was at a conference today and the speaker was Dr. Gabor Mate.  Have you heard of him?    He is a doctor who has written several famous books and addresses all sorts of topics on wellness, including addictions, ADHD, auto-immune disorders, etc.  Today he was speaking about kids with ADHD and was bang on.  I really love his approach!  Probably his most famous book is called Hold Onto Your Kids, and was written along with Gordon Neufeld (an expert in child development).  I bring him up because he has a book I have not read but really want to now.  It is called "When the Body Says No - The cost of hidden stress."  He has some interesting ideas on health and I'm curious to see if he mentions infertility at all.  They always say stress is such a factor, and I am always on a personal quest to live more stress-free.  Has anyone read this book?  Thoughts?
