Resetting Gravity

My belly 5 months

Today began the first new moon of the decade. Said to be one of the most powerful moons in some time, I couldn't pass an opportunity to breathe in it. A new moon is an energetic portal signifying death and rebirth. This powerful moon in Capricorn, the sign of establishing your foundation in order to fulfill your life purpose is calling all of us to set our intentions clearly today.

My second daughter, five months old in my womb, asked me to take her picture today (above). She pulled me to the camera and whispered to me about a new technique I had not yet explored. She guided me as I hung my first ever background, piled objects around my home to act as a tripod, and guided me to a processing tool that would bring out her beauty. My first daughter after being called close to her sister in the early afternoon sun laid her head on my belly for the longest time since the beginning of this pregnancy. She was listening to the first of many private sister conversations. Then when we came inside, she patiently and beautifully played by herself for these two hours without complaint or interruption while the above shot was born.

Thursday evening, I went to my first women's circle. I have been thinking about finding such a group for about a year now, but was too nervous to try. Immediately after finding out I was having another girl, I googled for one in my area and found a circle less than a mile from my home. This was not a coincidence.  As soon as I walked in the room and saw all the women already there settled in a close circle, my body was filled with vibrations and I began to cry. Having lost my relationship with my mother has been a difficult thing for me in these last two years. Our often rocky past made it difficult for me to bond with other women. Yesterday I was filled with hope and excitement to begin building relationships with women again. With this new moon I set my intention for a deeper more profound year connecting in community with others.Tomorrow I plunge right in with a zen momma and many other beautiful female souls.
