I have just embarked on the most blessed relationship that God could share with me, I am someone's mother. It truely is highest honor I can imagine. It's almost surreal to look at this little person who was hiding inside of me for so long, and now they are laying in my lap after a feast of milk that my body produced just for them. Before this point I had always wondered what it might be like to be a parent, to have a child...I saw families everywhere and there was this happiness that I couldn't understand or touch. Now that I have started a family the whole world looks different, the high value I had already placed on life is now to a point of reverence.

Every person in this world is a blessing and a journey. Not just their personal journey but that of the mother that carried them and brouht them into the world..that of their spirit making it's way here. It blows my mind at how precious and delicate life is...and for some to take it for such granted or extinguish it is truely a tragedy. We are all the fruits of so much love and labor, I can never look at my fellow women and mothers the same. Everyday there are warriors walking amongst us, women and men that have taken on the responsibility of life, birth, and protecting creation. I personally had a VERY long labor...28 hours to be exact..no drugs..no medicine...just deep meditation and good support from those around me. After that experience I know I can do anything and get thru anythig...Soon after I met more and more women who like me had such strenous labors and birth stories and it helped me to see just how strong we are...I really have to give props to the ladies who have done this 5 6, ,10 times!! my grandma was one of 12..now that's some superhuman stregnth that I can't touch =)

Many of you have children and know what I am talking about, some of you have not yet and you will..some of you may never, but will gain the wisdom of this truth despite..and some will never truely see the divinity of life. Either way I am humbled inthis blessing and excited to share the world with this new life..my son...ZION.
