Happy Birthday Neve!

I know you know how much you were wanted and how very much you are loved.  The people in your life cannot help but adore you.  I think you are a light and a blessing to everyone.

Happy 2nd Birthday Baby!

Love,

As I move about my morning I worry.  Worry about my women and my children and their children and their children's children.  If you know me at all, you may describe me as one who speaks her mind... or you may just describe me as rammy... or clowny... or mothery... But at this amazing time in my life this is how I feel...  Birthy - May I be grateful to have that feeling and may my I be given the skills I need in order to allow many to land in my hands... softly.  As Birthy's, we are given to attend and honour women and their lovers as they attend to the birth of their own creations, The Baby

"You still pregnant?  Still waiting? Haven't you had that baby yet? You must be so uncomfortable... Why is it taking so long? Can't they induce you? Why are you still here? Please bring that baby out so we can see what she/he looks like"   Are not helpful ~ "You are amazing! You are beautiful! You are a gift! Can I get you anything? Do you feel like dancing? Let me run you a bath... You are a Goddess! Rest my darling! Let me clean the house :) I have made your favorite meal, would you like me to rub your feet while you eat?"  More like it  - When a woman is "due" we all want to help - to try to charm the little one out so we can all feel better.  I have seen enough to know that sometimes we just need to wait and rest and care for each other.  While we wait, we may take care of each other and our own and when we are truly needed, the call will come ~
