The world keeps on turning regardless of viral outbreaks, chaos and an earth re-birthing itself. What remains solid, true and evergreen is the necessary care and connection that mothers and babies require during their postpartum time in order to thrive and not just merely survive.
#
There are so many layers of information and feelings coming from within and from outside of yourself. Navigating the waters of new motherhood requires support and encouragement. Maternal health is of the utmost importance as mothers are the ones birthing the next generation and tending to their many needs. If we don’t look after mothers, who will?
#
As we reevaluate and question the direction our world was moving in, it is a great time to prioritize and highlight the fact that significant and lasting change can be made by infusing love and care into the beginning of life. It begins at birth. Let’s use this moment in time to pivot and forge a new path.
#
Caring for a newborn babe is a full time job. Compassion, love and security should be the milieu that this dyad begins its journey surrounded in.
#
Babies do not stop coming to earth because of pandemics and therefore the care should not stop either. I am continuing my postpartum services all summer long and am open to finding a way to make this accessible to all women regardless of ethnicity or financial situation. All women are deserving of this care.

The highlight of my day today was a ten minute moment working around the garden with my music playing, and I was brought to tears by the perfect combination of ingredients: hearing the birds singing, the warm breeze on my skin, the hot earth beneath my feet, the green returning to the landscape, the new moon vibes, and the realization that I have been patiently waiting months for this exact moment. The magic of the moment was just being in the moment, to be here now, and to feel all the feelings. I felt beautifully human. 🌱
It’s easy to lose sight of the gift it is to be here on earth right now, but I try to remind myself that this life is just a stop over and that it’ll all end one day. I am a spiritual being having a human experience and before too long, we all end up back in the stars. Ahhh golden moments in time. I’m a deep thinker, a deep feeler and strive for a deeper understanding of this life. 🌱
I’ll think back on today years from now and be grateful I took the time to catalog these moments of happiness during such a challenging time on earth. •

Working hard getting everything in order to

90% of the herbs used in my products are home grown with lots of love in my organic garden. You can feel the difference when high quality, high vibrational plant medicine is used. You can’t fake a vibe! 🌸
This is my collaboration with nature and I’m looking forward to introducing some new products soon. I’ll be doing weekly deliveries in the city and shipping is also available. Thanks for the support over the last couple months. 😘😘

~Imbolc ~

This midway point is when we shift gears in our minds and bodies because we begin to absorb more light through our eyes. (Ditch the sunglasses if you can.) The northern hemisphere is warming and waking up and the days are slowly but surely stretching out and getting longer. We are in constant communication with our environment. Energy is building in the roots!

I was chatting with some friends the other day about the longing to feel connected with our own family histories; this desire to pull a thread of our lineage and follow it right down to the roots and beginning. But for so many of us, there are many missing pieces to this puzzle. We are trying to remember and fill in the blanks with the knowledge and information we have. That’s why we light a candle, leave out an offering, tell stories, or circle with friends and kindred spirits, and continue to “do the work.” We are remembering through bones and blood, the practices of our ancestors who were deeply, intricately connected and not separate from nature. We are dissolving the residue and remembering that we are also not separate from nature. We are nature and we have big work to do in this lifetime. Plants do better with strong, solid, healthy, well fed roots. Perhaps humans work this way too?

I’m flipping through seed catalogues today, burning mugwort and dreaming about the coming months. I wonder sometimes if I get close enough, and still enough with the plants, will they whisper and bring forth some of the missing pieces to the puzzle? Adventures in gardening and remembering continue…

Celtic Goddess Brigid and the Story of the Enduring Deity

www.historicmysteries.com

The Celtic goddess Brigid changed into St. Brigid of Kildare in 450 AD, but she never lost her goddess qualities. How did the ancient deity survive so long?
