When I tell people I attend births, they usually assume it’s the babies being born that’s the most exciting part.
But last night I was reminded that though it gives me the thrills to witness such a miracle, it’s even more amazing to witness the power of a mother.
The inner wisdom.
The voice that is found.
The matriarch being birthed at the same time.
The personal cheerleader.
The self motivator.
Reaching down deep and whispering the sweetest and softest words of support…. to yourself?!
“You’ve got this mama.”
“Your body was made for this.”
“I can do this. I will do this.”
“Let’s go baby, let’s do this together.”
“Breathe…”
May we all embrace this deep friendship we have with ourselves.
