I miss everybody! Sorry for the light posting lately. I’m trying to balance real life and online life and always remind myself that the real world should win. But I miss my online friends! I’ll balance this all out eventually, so please stick with me and still let me know your thoughts, feelings and how you are doing… :)
So many happenings in the last week! My head, heart and body are spinning. (After a bout of the stomach flu on Monday, I can definitely say that my stomach is still turning just a bit.)
A brand new babe has joined the extended family and is perfect, and it is irrefutable that my sister embodies an enormous amount of strength and humility. And not to be underestimated, once again I was reminded how amazing and beautiful it is to see a new life join this world.
So after incredibly humbling experiences of assisting a birth and riding out the storm of the flu, I’m recovering a bit and reflecting on what I wrote about tranquility versus perfection for Estelle’s new venture, Pink Moon Daily. Although I wrote it before my nephew was born and I got sick, it seems especially appropriate now. Nothing like a new baby and an illness to remind you that things like a perfect house don’t matter!

Congrats on the new baby in your extended family and I’m glad you’re feeling better
oh the fun of being an aunt!!

I love being an aunt! When I visit my nephews, I spoil them rotten: ice cream for lunch, staying up late on the weekends and playing too many video games. Then I leave town…it’s incredibly wicked of me.
Can’t wait for more Life in the Woods by the Water. When you’re ready…
What a stunning photo -- and how amazing to assist at a birth. That must have been incredible, heading over now to check out your new post…
I’m so excited for you and your sister! Birth is most certainly an amazing experience to be around and be a part of. I haven’t had it happen to close to home yet but I know when I do it’ll be incredibly special beyond words.
Sorry to hear about your bout with the stomach flu. Not fun. The upside? Congratulations to the new baby in your extended family. As you said, not feeling well and new arrivals seem like perfect reminders that life is precious. You summed it up beautifully on your post for Pink Moon Daily. (I didn’t know about this new site, so thank you for the introduction.)
Take care of YOU.
