Okay, so I promised Europe tales...but I'm tired, and need to do something easy. Hippy-style...I've just burned some sage to clear the house of germs, I'm sipping organic wine, and eating local freshly picked corn straight off the cob. So I figure its about time to give some insight into why I'm the Mama Earth between me and Deirdre...
And in wine-induced, relaxed end-of-the-day style...I'm doing it in point form!
*I leave Mayana bare-bummed often to let her get sun on her behind, and let the grass catch "anything" she decides to do!
*I have taken Mayana to a Saltspring dance with world music and a sacred chanting circle at the end...and she whirled around happily in her carrier with me all night
*I co-sleep with Mayana, and wear her while shopping...even walking and nursing at the same time sometimes!
*I visit my friends who live on a float home and use solar power, and went skinny dipping off their dock
*I use cloth diapers, and when I need to use disposable...I use the compostable kind...yes, they exist!
*I burn incense to clear the air of diaper smells
*I take Mayana to my djembe drumming class...and give her a shaker to keep the beat
*I make Raw Cacao Walnut Carrot Cake, and feed Mayana other interesting things like pureed organic yams, curried tofu, and homemade granola bars. I chew her food sometimes as a way to soften it before she eats it...and we sometimes eat fresh parsley or calendula right from the garden
*On sunny days, I'll often hang out with my other Mama friends and our babies, and we usually go topless and discuss things like our connection to our "yonis" (goddess term for vaginas)
*I write poetry about Mayana and her birth
*My partner and I have been to an astrologer to learn more about Mayana's signs surrounding her birthdate
Gotta go, I'm having a craving for Oreo cookies. Even Earth Mamas have their vices. ;)
