Swing of Things
Happy 2007!
This new year has been a sweet, sweet beginning to what I hope will be a very luscious year. I am going strong with my apprenticeship and really enjoying the time I spend with Heather Laier and my group of midwives and apprentices. It's been a joyful environment to spend time in and to begin learning.
Corina and her family are growing in love each day. She will be posting here shortly with some of her incredible art work that she is creating. And, Manny is the cutest little crumbly piece of pie (that's my chosen endearment for him) that I have ever seen. Sara and I have really fallen hard for this little one. He has stolen our hearts completely!
Sara is going strong with her birth work- we have both begun working on the ALACE Childbirth Education Training! It will be a slow and steady process, but once that is underway, she is planning on offering classes...An extra service for our Creative Birth team to offer!
Sara and I went on the lecture circuit as well. We spoke at a LLL Leaders meeting this past month on an intro to doulas- their role, the benefit of using one, etc... It was really amazing to engage in conversation with these amazing breastfeeding activists. They were so supportive and interested in our work. We are planning on doing other speaking engagements in the area, so I will keep you all posted as they arise!
One last thing- I am putting together self-care workshops at my house 1/month. It's called Good Health, Good Heart. The first one was last week, January 25th. I spoke about the importance of self-care and the benefits to a holistic health framework on both personal and eco/social/political reasons. Guest Mischa Schuler from Wild Carrot Herbs, spoke about "Kitchen Herbs for Everyday Wellness." We had about 18 people come to the event- A big success in my opinion! I will post about the next one in advance for those who might want to come.
Enjoy your day and keep posted for Corina's Art Work.
