Beautiful Midwife

Marie Frey, passed this September.. She was Birth midwife for my little Ryder James two years ago..Her crossing has brought back memories, some fond, some challenging..

Marie was a creative thinker..she kept having me switch 'pushing positions' until the 'Key'(his head) fit through the 'lock''(my Birth canal!)

She also suggested that Anthony get in the bed with me..He was behind me supporting me as I found the position to best birth my boy, Ryder ..beautiful..

She was so compassionate too…When me, hubby, and baby were separated after the birth, there was a (3 hour!) gap between my birth-time and the time when I could be in a recovery room w/baby..(Due to an understaffed “transport” dept.)

Marie offered to take me herself in the wheelchair to the post partum floor..the nurses wouldn’t allow it..but still..
These things meant a lot to me as I was a crying hormonal feral mama all alone in that delivery room...I am grateful for her compassion and expertise.
Blessings on your Journey Sweet Marie...

Guest Blog- "The Goddess Within" by Sister Goddess Rita

Hello All! Here is a post by our Lovely Rita...        This past spring, I took an amazing class called  “ The Goddess Experience ”. At the start of the class our instructor held a Quartz Crystal in her hand & introduced herself as Goddess Jess. She shared with us that we were going to have the opportunity to boast, share what we were grateful for, as well as any desires we have. She then told us that we were to introduce ourselves as “Goddess ____.” This in and of itself made me giggle, never mind actually SAYING I was a Goddess. How could I say I was a Goddess? How could I BE a Goddess?? That first time introducing myself as a Goddess (which was extremely difficult) was just a brief encounter of The Goddess Within…

An Exercise in Surrender

     Sunday, a handful of brave ladies, ready to show a photographer (named Isis!) their inner goddess, arrived at the shoppe early afternoon.  I knew exactly what I wanted to present to the camera that day, a purely professional website-worthy image..and ended up completly submitting to the suitcases of fun 'costumes' presented to us.      The name of the company is called "For Them or For You Photography" and the line between who these photos were for became more and more blurry for me as the day went on.  The photo below is a hint at what ended up on film..Each woman took some time perusing all the frills and props, and created a lovely landscape of beauty , for their individual shoots. I was so impressed with the level of trust and willingness to enjoy the experience from everyone.... and what eye-candy they all were..I took some cute photos, like these, and can't wait to see the "real images" when the photographer...
