It's been a totally bipolar week. Basically, the days have been fabulous, the nights, not so much. Miss K is teething ferociously and had a couple of nights in a row where neither of us got sleep because she was so miserable. Poor kid. Last night we both finally got more sleep, I crashed out on the couch for a few hours after she had gone to bed, and then when I went up, she was a sleepy bunny and nursed back to sleep very quickly, then slept pretty well the rest of the night, just waking up to nurse. Thank goodness.

The days have been spent in joyfully enjoying the Spring, walking about to see what is growing, enjoying the sunshine and warm breezes, alone and with loved ones. I have been doing a lot of energy healing, and it feels really, really good. It's such an amazing feeling to open myself to so much light and share it, and see immediate positive effects for the people I work with.

Looking into volunteer shifts at Boston area hospices. I realized that now that I have reliable babycare for K when I need breaks, I can start picking up a few shifts to start getting my feet wet with this. I'm excited. As much as I enjoy being a stay at home mommy, watching her grow, I am also eager to begin moving on this new career.

My recent life has been all about gracefully balancing my life as a mother with my other interests. It seems to be working out, teething unhappiness notwithstanding. There is blossoming within and without, there are deepening connections and affection between me and others, creative projects that are really taking off.

I'm very happy with how my life is going. Yay Spring. As your eyes pass over this, I hope that you are experiencing beautiful growth and flowering yourselves as we all are renewed by the endless spirals of the seasons. Much love to you all.
