My Blessingway (a little long)
Well, I said that I was going to post how my blessingway went...so here I
am:-) My best friend and her mother hosted the party, and only 2 other people (out of about 13 invited) attended. Which actually worked out the best because the women that were there were the ones that I care the most about and feel the most comfortable around. I felt comfortable enough to be in the moment instead of worrying about how people were feeling about it all, etc. The only thing that I was disappointed in was that I believe the main reason most of the women didn't show up (I am especially upset with my aunt and cousins for this) is that they thought it was going to be some kind of weird pagan thing and didn't feel "comfortable" with it all. They didn't even give it a try. Oh well, like I said it was actually better because it was a small group of women that I really like, etc. It was a wonderful experience!!! I felt so loved and comforted by the women. I have felt more relaxed and happy since. It was so reassuring to have women surrounding me that are so confident in me and love me. It was great! I felt very pampered and cared for. They did the sage cleansing, which made me feel more spiritually cleansed for my best friend's birth, and it made me feel like the our spirit's were made ready to experience the whole thing completely. They the women read a bunch of awesome affirmations about the birth, my body and the baby. There was more after that, but I feel like it would take too long for me to give all of it it's due:-) Anyway, like I said before it was awesome and I would recommend it for any pregnant woman, especially if baby showers are not enjoyable for them or it's their second baby and want to celebrate the new pregnancy without a baby shower.

Wow, that sounds wonderful! I think you should write some sort of longer
piece about it... Like an essay for yourself or to post on your web pages. Sk "Kat" wrote in message ...

I have no idea what a blessingway is. :-) If you put something up, can you post a link here? |

It sounds great :-) It's a pity some people are close minded, but then like
you say, would you have wanted them there? I'd like to know a bit more about this sort of thing too (I reckon I can find two friends). "Kat" wrote in message ...

gives some people a better idea of what they are about and what you might want to do): http://www.mother-care.ca/blessing.htm http://www.naturaltouchdoula.com/blessingway.php http://www.preggiepeggy.com/blessingway.htm http://home.earthlink.net/~eaglefalc...essingway.html http://www.webbabyshower.com/baby-sh...lessingway.php Kat Mama to Maggie 11/03/01 and #2 EDD 02/01/04 "Amy" wrote in message ...
