Today my friends and family (mom and Diana) came together to commemorate my rite of passage to motherhood in a celebration called a blessing way. This is in lieu of a baby shower. At a Blessing Way the only thing people bring is love and food, food for our freezer or for the celebration.
My belly was painted with hena and everyone brought a personalized bead or ornaments to create a dream catcher for the kids room. People also brought words of wisdom to share and love. All the guests received a candle to light when I go into labour to symbolize our connection and support for me through labour.
I also got a foot bath and foot/calf massage ?
My friend Tenille was supposed to lead a crystal song bowl ceremony but her van brought down on the way here and she couldn’t make it in time. Her presence was very much missed.
The blessing way was awesome and beautiful! Thank you to my friends and family for all their loving support ????
What a lovely charming ceremony!
Janet, That ceremony sounds so amazing – wish I was there to celebrate with you. May I send along something to place in the dream catcher as well!
Yes absolutely!!
The dream catcher turned out amazing. And your belly looks so awesome. Glad it was a special afternoon for you. xo
Allison, we placed all three of your beads together on the upper left side. They look really nice ?
Thank you so much for doing that! I see them in the picture. 🙂
The beads remind me of the ocean ?
