Mother Blessing

On 2 February my friends organized a mother blessing for me.
It was really nice.
First we talked about our negative feelings about birth and wrote them down and burned those.
Then they read their positive poem, writing, something about motherhood and birth, which they saw fit for me. That was really touching, we all ended up crying with the beautiful pieces they had brought. Then we used a long piece of yarn and tied wrists with that. The we made bracelets with beads, which was really nice.
Of course there was plenty of cake, cookies and more cake with drinks, which we all enjoyed.
