Warming up . . .



I have something big goin' on in this head right now. Gestating.
2009 has filled me with experiences, joy, sorrow, wisdom and most of all, vision.

To borrow from the Indigo Girls:
"Now I wait like a widow for someone to come back from sea,
I've always known, I was waiting for me"

From Jamie Glenn:
"Walk tall, you're a daughter, a child of God,
Be strong and remember who you are"

And from scripture, Doctrine and Covenants 90:24

"Search diligently, pray always and be believing, and all things shall work together for your good"

Streams of light are filling my vessel. I feel physically strong and healthy, mentally aware and ready, and spiritually attuned. There is good energy surrounding me, beautiful people and opportunities everywhere I turn.

I love when everything opens up and clarity washes over me. I have a lot to do. Lead my family, guide my birth clients, mentor MCU students, strengthen the Association of Utah Midwives, and a big planet to travel upon.

This month of gratitude is overflowing with blessings. Today's top 5 ~

1. Knowledge of a God in heaven that is aware of me, hears my prayers and holds me gently when I am feeling fragile.

2. Midwives and mamas. Both are wise and powerful. I get to midwife both; as president of Utah's state association and as a birth guide.

3. Jade. Today I am most grateful for Jade. She is brave. She is pretty. She is intuitive. She is mine.

4. My daddy. He speaks to me through sunsets. This first man I ever loved, ahh, I miss him terribly. He taught me to slow down, savor, love deeply, be good to myself, believe in dreams and to never, ever buy cheap shoes!

5. Gina's man, Myles. How can you not love a man that calls you on the phone and says "Is that you KitCat?", folds your laundry and and laughs hard at the ridiculous things that come out of your mouth?

Good things are happening. I'm looking forward. Mmmmmmmm. . .

how can 2010 even top 2009?New york again? Dad and i were talking about you at lunch the other day. (we go to lunch a lot) and i said "mom has gone nuts" and dad said "actually, i think its really cute."

Jade said...

mean, you dont comment my blog but i comment yours.

cathmom said...

About Steen's comment, Chuck made this statement.
"Yes,that was how it went. I don't think you are nuts like psychotic, I've just noticed that you are extra happy lately, more than your usual free-spirit self. You jumped in the Pacific ocean waves with all of your clothes on. Some might say that is nuts. I think it is cute."
I'll take that.
Steen stands by her statement.
"My mom is nuts".
I can take that too.

You know what I love, that you are so at peace with yourself. That you embrace life and love to live in the moment of it all. Glad to see you blogging again :)
