I am bubbling over with excitement about childbirth again.
I want to learn.
I want to contribute.
I want to help.
I want to be fearless.
It is ~all happening~.
I'm all about throwing away stuff I don't need.
Stuff that doesn't serve me, or fuel life any more.
Usually it's a quick and easy assessment.
This blog has stuck around, for years now.
I haven't deleted it yet. I haven't pulled the trigger on that simple key stroke that would erase so many of these aggressive, maybe slightly biased and maybe embarrassing posts. I've tried to tone them down a bit. I've added a keyword search for important posts. I've deleted the random snippets, in order to focus in on education of the birth and pregnancy process.
My goal is to provide honest, "evidenced-based" information to families facing this adventure. This blog might also include some *birthie* current events, rumors, ideas, and inspiration.
It is such an emotional time of life. I want to be a reassuring, constant presence, and sounding-board to help ensure confidence in their decisions. I want all mothers to look back on their birth experience and be fueled by their own fire, no matter what the path ends up looking like.
I want women to be confident in their bodies, and confident in their choice of a birthing team, and above-all to go into birth feeling...
~SAFE~
~RESPECTED~
~HONORED~
The tools seem to have fallen in to my hands. The inspiration has cracked me over the head like a hammer.
People have wandered into my path that seem so much like angelic guides, I cannot ignore the message anymore. I am taking action and jumping in with both feet.
Here is my own birth of sorts....
I am a pretty proud mama.
We shall see where it all leads.
