New Journey

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

I have to tell you that I am on fire right now.  I love getting on fire about stuff.  It just feels fantastic and I long for it.  I have begun a new journey.  In a previous post, I blogged about being apart of my sister-in-laws home-birth.  It was such a wonderful experience, that I decided to go for my certification as a doula.  Working with pregnant women and guiding them to motherhood is right up my alley.  Though the certification process will take a little while, I am super pumped up! I will have the honor to be apart of people’s most intimate moments.  This truly is a blessing to me!

During my sister-in-laws, birth,  each surge (contraction), I breathed with her.  I felt so incredibly close to God - I am so grateful that I will have the opportunity again. I hope you will check back regularly to be apart of my journey.  If you or anyone you know is pregnant, drop my a comment, but don’t forget to leave me contact information!

Blessings to you all!!!

Take a Moment and Rest

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Do you have times when life just feels like a Merry-go-Round that never stops?  Perhaps one thing after the other keeps you spinning out of control.  This is the time to REST.   The reason you are feeling overwhelmed is because you ARE overwhelmed.  We often don’t stop and relax and let our minds catch up with our lives.  We just act like the “energizer” bunny and keep on going. 

When you feel these moments coming on, give yourself permission to take some “me time” and let the dishes stay in the sink, let the phone go to the machine and take time for you!  Give yourself a time-out.  You and EVERYONE around you will appreciate it.

Hugs!!
