sunrise

The pink sun is peeking over the mountains. Crisp white snow and a clear blue sky greet our morning senses. So much color for this time of morning, so much on our plate today. The circle game continues. I'm a mama, I'm a midwife. I am blessed to be present when women are born as mamas. Today I will be turning my baby over to another midwife. As much as I'd like to keep her my baby, she'll be born as a woman with all of the joy and pain that comes with that new self. I will have to step aside as that process occurs. Ready or not here we go . . .

well, well, well...a toast to the newest member of the virtual commons: may the blogs bring us closer to the REAL communication that can only happen face to face! (And may your many posts make my agonizingly long day a bit more bearable.)

The first thing I saw was the beautiful picture of you. I'm not using the word beautiful casually. The picture is truly beautiful. The whisp of hair, the dangling necklace and earrings. Simply beautiful. From someone who hasn't experienced one of my children having babies yet, I think they will always be our babies. They can at anytime, at any age look up at us with their big eyes and call for Mom. I don't see you stepping aside, but walking along with. Much like the footprints in the sand, when the man saw only one set of footprints in the sand, it was then that God carried him. You will be walking alongside your baby as this journey continues.

You are a great Mom and I will model my behavior after you!
