Oh, also...I don’t think ”underestimate” is quite the right word. Not sure what is, though, so that’s why I used it. I
know you *know* (even if not right there on the surface) that you are a birth warrior. :)

Wow, I love all the birth art you are doing. I love the insights it is giving you. Even when there are ”mistakes”

Your crowning mothers are wonderful and the lesson is of acceptance - We don’t get a do over with birth, so we go in
as best prepared as we can and have to learn to assimilate whatever path we take without regret or guilt. Sometimes
that takes a long time. I hope you will soon see only the beauty in your art and not the flaws.

Lots of good friend energy!
I keep wanting to post about my mother blessing/blessingway ceremony last week and I can’t quite manage
to find the right words. So, I decided to share some pictures mainly and wait to see if more words will
come...My mom hosted it at my home and 19 women attended (so, with me, a nice even 20). I don’t think
there have ever been so many people in my living room! Early in this pregnancy I said I wanted to have the
”biggest blessingway ever!” and it was a big one. A lot of my friends tend towards ”small and intimate” for
their mother blessings and while I definitely see the value to that too, it was really important to me to see
and feel and know how many people in my life care about me and my baby and who have hoped with me and
waited with me while I cautiously made my way to this time and this place. My mom said something about
there being a lot of people here and I said, ”yep, and I like them all!” My life has been touched/enriched by
every woman in the room and it was very moving to look around the room and see them all here together.
