Celebrating the Mother

I recently attended a friend's Blessingway or "Mother Blessing".

It was such a wonderful time - It's too bad everyone in our culture doesn't get to experience this kind of thing before having a child.

This is a ceremony that "showers" the mother-to-be with love, support, and encouragement instead of of baby gifts.

It is a time of celebrating womanhood, and motherhood.

A time of sisterhood.

A time of prayers and blessings. A time of reflection.

A time of BEAUTY!
