To all the mothers out there...I know. Me too. You got this. Rock on.
And to my own mother: You paved the way and lit the torch for mothering greatness. If I can only be a fraction of the mother you are, my boys will be very lucky. LOVE YOU.
RESCHEDULED! I was sick...SO we had a slight change in plans....

This labor preparation intensive will give you the tools you need to enter your birth feeling equipped and empowered. Topics will include a discussion of the stages of labor, optimal positioning, hands- on partner positions to prepare the pelvis leading up to labor, and key positions to use during labor. I weave together my knowledge of various comfort measures, yoga philosophy and postures, breath work, visualization and birth planning to help you actively and enthusiastically participate in your birth. Partners or labor supports are encouraged to attend. This is a wonderful workshop to supplement a hospital-based childbirth education class, to use as a refresher for second-time moms, or for anyone wanting to feel more empowered for their birth experience.

The Scattered Pieces will come together.
Sometimes we look around, and that's what we see. Scattered pieces of ourselves, our lives, a project, a season of our lives. Where is the connecting thread, we wonder? How can we ever pull this together into something that makes sense, something with purpose, something with meaning?
There are pieces to ever whole; yet each piece is complete. Don't worry about how they will all come together. Work Joyfully on the piece that's before you. The piece that's in your life today.
There are many pieces of you, many beautiful parts. The universe will help you bring all those parts alive. It will bring mirrors to you, people who will reflect those beautiful pieces back to you. Look in the mirror of your life. What pieces do you see reflected? Know it's you you're seeing. Then let that part of you come alive.
Pull in the pars of yourself, the many beautiful parts that have come alive. Beckon your warrior, your healer, your playful child. Bring together your professional self, your adult, the passionate part of you, the nurturing part. Let all the parts come together. Don't send any of them away. You need them all. Each is a beautiful piece of the soul, the life, the person you are.
TRUST. Trust the process. Joy is yours, available for the asking and the desiring- even in the developmental stages. Even before the puzzle has been put together. The scattered pieces will come together. The scattered pieces of yourself, your project, your life. The connecting thread is love.
The picture will be beautiful. Wait and See.
