I am soo a hocus-pocus kind of girl! At least, I'm trying to be. Thank you so much for the opportunity to join such talented and heart-driven company in this blog carnival.<br /><br />Leah @ Zen and the Art of Cloth Diaper Maintenanceldrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11120727131981147945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1168618921375018234.post-50732122420359349612011-08-27T00:57:14.790-04:002011-08-27T00:57:14.790-04:00So, this post is beautiful and your daughter will ...So, this post is beautiful and your daughter will undoubtedly treasure it when she can read it herself.

Seriously. I love it! <br /><br />Your pictures are awesome. What a beautiful pictorial of your baby's first hours in this world. Really, really beautiful.<br /><br />I am very moved by your story and can really relate to the negativity, why do things happen to me attitude. I am kind of stuck in a cycle of "things happening to me" and have considered giving The Secret a try. I am really glad that you discussed how your outlook and thinking has changed your life and that The Secret really does work.<br /><br />Your story is just so wonderful and it is beautiful to hear that your baby changed your life so profoundly! Thank you for sharing such a joyful, hopeful, inspirational post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902150350516852100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1168618921375018234.post-50964608050007180172011-08-26T21:49:20.668-04:002011-08-26T21:49:20.668-04:00I agree with Shana!

When I was visualizing my own birth, I never once pictured anyone there other than my midwife and my husband.

I love that this is a part of the Carnival.<br /><br />This line gave me goosebumps from how much I identified with the emotions in your post: "Her birth changed who I am." Those goosebumps never went down. I, too, felt the power and was changed forever. It is so amazing, and utterly female, how we can take the power within, surrender and open to it, while at the same time control, trust, and OWN it!<br /><br />Thank you for highlighting this. I wish this feeling for every mother, however and wherever they choose to birth.<br /><br />I'm so pleased we did this carnival together. Thanks for working so hard with those entries and everything else.
