Full Circle ~ 3 Months Old & 2014 Gone By

Completion
Another year gone by. It's my 38th but only your first.
How do I wrap it up with a bow this time?

In years past, I once felt the need to conclude my years by looking back at all of my
accomplishments and successes. Time has changed, however.
Now, what I mainly see is a whole lot of blessings. For this is what 2014 taught me ~
it showed me just how truly blessed I am with the important stuff in life. Namely, regenerative relationships. And, it's a foundation that I am rooting you within.

I spent this Christmas season mainly tending to you and your needs as well as, with you in a pouch, painting the plaster cast Devi and your papa made of my upper torso during my 9th month of pregnancy. It's a fitting way to close out this year, seeing as how you were seeded within my womb somewhere around this time last year.

It's been three months since your birth, and I am awed by your growth and development. Already you are so much bigger than you were just a mere season ago. I have enjoyed every moment of your unfolding ~ watching you discover your hands and fingers (you're still in process where this is concerned), hearing you coo and start to "talk" (you and your father have a very chatty relationship), and witnessing your beautiful smile and the way your eyes light up, too. I love the depth of our eye gazing when I'm breastfeeding you (and, oh, how I love breastfeeding you!) and especially when I tend to your needs ~ you look at me in a way that exudes trust and security.

I adore the way your tiny hands paw at my breasts, the softness of your body and the scent of your skin. You are sweet by nature and strong in stature. I seek to document each moment we share because, as too many parents convey, this time now goes by all too quickly and, with so little sleep to go round, this time now also eventually becomes a blur.  But I don't want it to bee blurred. I see it all so clearly, so I do my best to put down in words a love that is beeyond definition.

As for the approaching new year, I am going to take the lesson that you, my dear son, taught me. For nine months and most of 2014, you were a mystery. I didn't know what you would look like or how life would bee until you arrived. Yet, here you are and you're beeyond gorgeous. Meanwhile, life is amazing. So, I'm going to continue to set my intentions and water them along the way as I also endeavor to maintain the mystery by not over-planning/thinking/analyzing but rather by just trusting that what comes will bee perfect ~ just like you. ;)

2 Months of Me, You & US


I love you more than you will ever know
Days are short as darkness comes quickly and we seek the warmth of shelter. The final month of 2014 has descended. Wood Horse galloped in with strength and endurance, delivering you unto our arms. Now, we dive deep into the dark of winter as I suckle you at my breast and watch you grow, in leaps and bounds, everyday. What an honor it is!

Your sweet coos and gorgeous smile brighten our moments, as the chaos of a mad world churns. Truth is that there is far greater love on this planet than we are sold to beelieve. (I know from first-hand experience ~ my travels around the world showed me the generosity of strangers.) However, the push continues for the greed to bee halted and for a full return to our authentic power as there is much work to bee done on beehalf of both Gaia (Mother Earth) and Humanity.

I don't know how we'll fare or what life will bee like when you're my age now, I can only keep planting these seeds and hoeing the soil that is you, as well as your Soul Sisters & Brothers. 


You are the ones we have been waiting for. 
The generations that came beefore (they just didn't know)
