It’s hard to believe that 37 weeks ago my son was living inside my body about to make his big debut. I will share my birth story soon, but for now I’m simply in awe of what a woman’s body (and every female mammal for that matter) undergoes to create life. I can viscerally remember the feeling of raw life force energy pulsing through my womb for 37 weeks. I’ve never felt more simultaneously connected to earth and ether elements at the same time. More embodied in my Woman. More at peace with who I am. More grounded and secure on every dimension while humbly surrendering and opening myself up to the Great Mystery. Motherhood is full of paradox and pregnancy was a magical keyhole into the greatest adventure of my life. I also adored how celebrated I felt everywhere I went. Like I was some kind of demigoddess. 30 year old men literally bowing at my feet, carrying my groceries, grandmothers kissing and congratulating me for letting my belly hang out in public (bc that was forbidden in their day). It was like I had some special superpower being pregnant that instantly opened people’s hearts. It opened my heart in ways my maiden brain just couldn’t even fathom.
I am forever changed by becoming a mother. I’m a completely new woman. And continue discovering her every day. I’m excited to share more…because I really like this new version of me. She’s pretty badass.
