We had Melissa's Blessingway last night. It is basically is celebration of the expectant mother. Rather than lots of gifts, silly games and lots of fluff at a baby shower, this is a small, intimate expression of love with only the closest of friends. Melissa chose 4 life-long friends to come to participate, and one of them even drove from Seattle! (Thanks, Jen. That means a lot!) We prayed, sang, brushed hair, washed feet, bellydanced, henna'd, wrote meaningful stories, spoke affirmations and exchanged beads, participated in a web of womanhood and closing of the bones. It was a deeply moving and spiritual experience.
