Come alive!

Dear everyone,

I am giving birth.

There will be complications, pain, heavy breathing.  I am confident I won't die in the process, but I guess theoretically it could happen.  While there are doctors and doulas and whole schools of midwifery designed for the help of some like me, this is also the oldest and most natural transformation the world has seen...I am in good company.

Are you also giving birth? Or perhaps raising the toddler or teenager of your dreams/goals/hopes/life?

I recommend keeping these words, arranged by Howard Thurman, tucked in your heart for reference:

Don't ask what the world needs.  Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.  Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

Bon voyage today and tomorrow, friends.  Travel well. :)
