The beauty of Colorado Midwifery! I don’t get to be off call and wandering around in the mountains much anymore, but I still make sure to stop, smell the flowers and admire the joys of Spring turning to Summer!
My photo album is filled with pictures of the moments of “The Village” we all crave, admirations of placentas, dads cutting cords, that fresh newborn alertness as they look at their parents and say “Oh yes! There you are!”!
Behind every picture of me trekking up a new road, or admiration of the terrain of the Western Slope (I went to 5 counties this week alone!), there is a family - filled with the fullness of what it means to bring in New Life - fears, worries, excitement, pride, LOVE, and the acknowledgment of how our culture has just forgotten so so much of what it used to mean to be seen and cared for.
I used to really try to pretend my humanity wasn’t in this work. I thought that’s what Soul work meant? Like if I just separated myself more, I would be a better midwife or something? Spoiler alert: that didn’t work 😂
To bring silliness in the space, to let the oxytocin hit us all like one giant wave, to slow. down. Humans experiencing God in the body. There’s nothing more humbling and more Grace-filled.
Excited to continue to see what arises this summer! Because it has been something made of magic so far, and I couldn’t be more grateful 🙏🏼🤍✨🌻
