It's Happening!
We are so proud to share our 10 class, online birth education series "www.birthingfreedom.ca" along with our documented collection of 8 real time birth stories "Welcome to the World".
I would like to share how I got here and maybe even inspire you to discover a deeper layer of yourself in preparation for your parenting experience.
I have always asked myself: How can I give to the world? How can I contribute in a way that goes beyond “work” and brings me joy, while helping others?
Even while practicing in the profound and intimate profession of midwifery, I still couldn’t see my own potential. The gift of giving, teaching, and holding space for others was labeled as “work”, but was truly my lifestyle. Like many of us, I needed to step outside of myself, and look from the outside in. Doing this caused a great “ah ha” moment for me—I had already found my calling but was lost in the day to day. Once I stopped and analyzed my skills and passions, I found gratitude for who and what I am. I quickly realized giving, teaching, and holding space is my calling! Everything else just fell into place.
I am here to share myself, my ideas, and my energy; to crack myself open, to live and love, and to lead by example. My dream is that you can see the power within yourself, the power to move forward into a life full of beauty and balance. What better time is there to start than while growing your baby? My hope is to inspire you to open up and allow the life you want in.
“Sometimes we stumble to achieve this balance, and that’s okay…”
The patterns in our lives often hold us back in a similar way to being trapped in a maze. Take me, for example—I was lost in the day to day. I had already created what I wanted; it just needed a little streamlining!
Getting lost and going around and around, bumping into things, and ending up in the same place over and over again created a false sense of security. These habits were created by memorizing the familiar places, routes, and patterns within my maze.
Every aspect of our existence has the potential to unlock the infinite, but we must first find our way out of the maze. Can you imagine letting go of un-serving habits? Trusting and surrendering to the unknown (much like birth) and allowing your best life in?
Around each corner, in every unopened drawer, and behind every fog hidden view, are things we can’t see; but that doesn’t mean they aren’t there. This is how life works: thoughts become things—so think about what you want, feel it, plan it out, and most importantly ALLOW it to happen. Just because you can’t physically see it doesn’t mean it’s not possible! Our thoughts create our environment.
Very few of us allow ourselves the freedom and creativity that comes with trusting life… Why? Out of fear and the false security of our self-created maze. We ping pong back and forth, weaving past ignored synchronicities … not trusting life. If you can think it, it is possible!
The irony is the door or opening to the maze is almost often obvious. In life we wish and dream of making changes to better ourselves and those around us, but can often remain trapped. Try standing outside of your pattern and look down onto your life…can you now see it? Did you have an “ah ha” moment?
“Taking a leap of faith into the unknown is the fun of life.”
There are infinite ways in which to follow your own path out of the maze; this is the fun of life! It all starts with the decision to make life what you want it to be. I believe this is possible for each and every one of you. Maybe the first step is taking some time to yourself, a short trip, a yoga class, a sabbatical from work, or simply taking time daily to quiet yourself and start looking at your life? If I can discover why I’m here, so can you! Start by giving yourself permission and by making the decision to step into your desired life. Discover the reasons you are here, so you can start living them. The answers are inside of you; patiently waiting to get out. We all have the potential to deliberately unlock our desired life! Follow your dreams, and listen to your intuition and you may just be surprised at how fast this will lead you to your dreams.
I invite you to think about what a beautiful world we can create by simply listening to ourselves and being happy!
With Love,
Angela
