My absence from here was not intentional and I’ve got so many things to write about that I probably should make a promise to post every day for a week. But I hate to break promises and I have a feeling that other things may get in the way. We’ll see. We have been autumn cleaning because we’re about to resign our lease and I figure if we haven’t used something for the last three years we most definitely don’t need it (I’m slowly but surely changing Daniel’s hoarding habits). It is such an amazing feeling to see unwanted items disappear to new homes. I like to sigh a sweet exhalation when I think of all the free space in our home (and our heads). It’s rather yogic to declutter your living space because ‘things’ merely cause distraction…but a candle, a book and a bunch of flowers can be so inspiring in their simplicity.

In honour of my cousin’s ‘happy homebirth’ of her second daughter today I wanted to share these links with you:

Ella’s full-bellied shots are the most beautiful I’ve seen. She’s planning a lotus birth at home and is due soon.

Rach thinks she’s having a boy

Sweet local girl Rach is due any day….om shanti sukha om – peaceful & joyous birth
