sacred.

sacred. such a powerful word. 

I've had so much energy in my heart for this word. What is sacred? 

"everything" she whispers.

when I started my sacred soul journey a few years ago, I had no idea where it would lead me. I tried to control the path, cause that's what I do. correction: did. when I let go and let the energy take over, I learned so much about myself. I'm still learning. 

at some point, I had the realization that I was put here to empower women. to uplift women. to shift the self loathing that we have all become accustomed to having into something sacred for each woman whose life I was allowed in to. it's been a challenging road to this point, because I am still empowering myself. when I get out of the way, it all becomes so clear.

I have been scared to move forward. the what if's started screaming in my ear. the dangers and challenges and consequences became more apparent. but I let the truth simmer inside of me until it was such a part of me that  I could not ignore it anymore. and the truth is still there, patiently waiting for me to breathe life into it.

I have taken the first steps into becoming a birth doula.

so many women have had births that traumatize them because they feel disempowered. unheard. ignored. neglected. I was one of those women many years ago. through the creation and birth of my newborn, I felt more called than ever to help women have the choice, the knowledge, the power and the strength to let their voices be so loud that they cannot be ignored. so they may have the kind of birth that will make them feel like the all powerful goddesses they truly are. 

I pour over birthing books like they are candy. I research the ins and outs of birth around the world. I talk to other "birthy" mommas and gain knowledge from all of them. I feel the calling to be in this field stronger than I have felt anything in my life, with the exception of becoming a mother myself. 

I'm on the verge. and I'm reading to dive head first into the sacred pool of birthing women.
