Happy International Passion Day!
Posted by: | CommentsToday is International Passion Day!!!
We can easily find ourselves just going through the motions or challenges of fertility, pregnancy, birth and parenting. Sometimes it seems like all we meet are bumps on the road.
But we are here for much more than that.
We were born to be joyful and exuberant as we journey through this life.
Often we are afraid to aim for what we truly want because we don’t feel worthy enough, competent enough or deserving enough.
Your passion for creating new life, enjoying a magical birth experience, thriving in motherhood, sacred family life, and enjoying loving, happy relationships is the pulse of the universe expressing itself through you.
What you love and God’s will for you are the same (Janet Bray Attwood and Christ Attwood).
Hand in hand with every desire we have comes the ability to realize it. We can only ever really want what is possible.
A newborn does not desire to walk. A 3 month old has no interest in speaking. Their passions lie perfectly in the range of possibility in relation to their abilities, skills and vibration.
The same applies to you.
So whatever you are passionate about, know that having the passion is a sign that you are ready to create that reality and take steps to realize your dream NOW.

Breastfeeding, Vitamin D and The Meaning Of Life
Posted by: | CommentsOn our Blog Talk Radio show today, Maire Clements (author of the multi media ebook/ecourse ‘The New Motherly Art of Conscious Breastfeeding) and Nutritionist, Tracy Gary discussed the controversial topic of vitamin D, breast milk and whether babies should be taking supplements when being breastfed exclusively.
Maire explained the risk factors (not enough vitamin D in a mom’s diet and not enough exposure to sunlight). Tracy shared with us foods that breastfeeding moms need to include in their diet so that your baby gets enough vitamin D while on the breast. She also referred to an an excellent article entitled ‘Does My Baby Need Vitamin D Supplements’.
During the discussion, I was reflecting on the message behind the issue of possible vitamin D deficiency for baby when breastfeeding. What is life trying to tell breastfeeding moms in this story?
And here is my conclusion for now…
(1) Nourish yourself fully because as you nourish yourself you nourish your baby. (In my view this relates to more than just nutrition).
(2) Get out of the house and into nature.
(3) Kisses on naked skin are essential for you and your baby….. in this case kisses from the sun but feel free to generalise this one.
With an understanding of the law of attraction, when you choose to receive nourishment, tenderness, love and connect with nature you model this to your baby and both of you attract more of these life enhancing experiences into your day.

Birth From Dad’s Perspective – New Documentary on Father’s Experience of Birth
Posted by: | CommentsThe trailer to this new documentary is very powerful indeed. ’The Other Side of the Glass’ looks at how current practices around birth dis-empower dads who have been overlooked in the birth process.
In this clip we are reminded that a new baby is fully conscious and involved in the process of birth and it matters how we touch and treat her.
It is a good reminder too that joy in birth and parenting requires us to honor the sacred masculine as well as the sacred feminine.
Thanks Linda for sharing this with me.
In joy,
