Leonie, let me give you a hug – those 3d trimester blues, akin to being on a space ship, drawing into the Seven Sisters orbit, and now that landing is so close you start to fret whether you have packed everything you need.
You do have every thing you need, dear one. The odds and sods missing can be obtained, found, borrowed, whatever. You have within you to be the bestest Mum your merbaby could ever have or ever need. remember, now and after her birth, you need to be the bestest friend YOU could ever need. Rest, relax, ask for help, share the love. same goes for merbaby’s Daddy. And remember – you’ll need to make the effort, get in a baby carer – have special couple time with merbaby’s Dad as well. Write up on the wall calendar, & on your monthly list-to-do before the walking the floor, sleepless nights get to you. Blessed be.

Well, I am emerging from the fog of my birthing week which started off donkey-balls-suckish (have you trademarked this phrase? oh my goodness, how perfect is it?) and ended with angels singing Tra-la-la-la-la … or were those goblins and witches singing? Anyway, glad to read things have turned for you … I have those days when I know all I have to do is get through them … that last, steep bit of the climb before you reach the spot with the amazing view.

Oh, how I did NOT need to learn about Art Every Day Month! LOL. I have been piling my plate high with goodies and get a tad overwhelmed, but also wildly inspired and excited so .. hmm … only a day or 2 behind …

What gives me joy and solace? Getting outside with my pup dog; music, making art and if all that fails, then a big tub with bubbles, a good book and the door closed! And giving myself permission to feel crappy once and awhile. And now that I’ve found you, well, your videos and blog posts are what light me up ✹

Hugs to you scorpio goddess …

I vote for making the term “I-suck-donkeys-balls-week” official!

Sending love and night rainbows (I wonder what they are) and day stars! <3

Girl, I hope your week of wtf takes a hike real soon and leaves you with a week of wow or yay or yum or other some other fabulous 3 letter word.

Thanks so much for mentioning Art Every Day Month, my dear! xoxo

Oh, Beautiful Goddess Leonie, I remember those awful sucky weeks before birth. The weeks when you feel like you have been pregnacious your whole life and wonder will it ever happen…when will it happen….that precious day when you will hold in your arms the heavenly bundle with 10 tiny miraculous fingers and 10 unbelievably tiny toes. Those off center, miserable days when you don’t realize what it is yet, to look into those knowing eyes of that new, just experiencing this first day in this new world, spark of God energy. Those eyes that look at you for the first time in this new world, that know you are the goddess who will pour nourishment and love into that tiny soul spark. Yes,I remember those days, and you will too, but not for a long time. You will only remember these days long from now, when someone else is living what you are now living and tells you how sucky it is. And your compassionate heart will hear and then your soul will reach out to them and you will share those first days of experiencing what it was to see your God gifted Child for the first time.

I’m doing NaNoWriMo AGAIN this year – I think it’s about my 7th or 8th attempt. I’ve only succeeded once because life gets in the way, but it never stops me from trying! Love the Art challenge – am going to check that one out!

By the way, if we didn’t have the yucky days, we’d have no measure for what the good ones feel like!

I just started a 5 year diary similar to this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/28245443@N00/3251272732/. I used to write in a journal daily, for several years, no, many, and having children has sadly coincided with that habit kind of falling by the wayside. I got the large Moleskine daily planner instead of the small one, so I have 6 lovely lines to write in each day! Things have just gotten insanely busy and full here (unexpected pregnancy!) (my current baby is just 12 months old! plus two other olders!) but I am still feeling like the 6 lines daily is doable and will be sooo good for me. I’m so excited about the small format and the future where I will eventually have multiple years of each day, all on one page.
