Blessing the way...

...for a mother-to-be.

I am so blessed to be in a circle of women that participates in the tradition of Mother Blessings. These evenings provide an opportunity to tell the expectant mother how much we love her, how much we value her friendship, and provide her with strength, courage and support as she prepares to give birth to her baby. It is truly a blessing for all who attend.

Here is her beautiful altar...filled with objects of meaning to her and the women around her.






Mother and daughter...offering and receiving love and support



Here is the gorgeous mama and her circle of support


No gathering would be complete without a feast...and feast we did! Now we all await news of the birth...
Much love to you, dear friend!
