I have never forgotten what it is to be a child. The deep craving for the love of my family. The fears in my head that spoke in a voice that had no opposite. The ferocious yearning for the things and experiences of the world. Children are so tender, so open. One misplaced word or gesture can damage a life and one well spoken word or gesture can strengthen, nurture and propel a child towards a happy and fulfilled life. And equally stunning is the journey of the parent! There will not be a more profound love and deep commitment than that which you experience with your child. And I dare say nothing will more clearly expose your strengths and your faults than being a parent. A ceremony is a way of acknowledging the importance and beauty of the job undertaken. A way to set intentions and remind ourselves and others of their importance in the life of this small person. I bring my love of children, my powerful Grandma energy and my respect for your journey to welcome and bless your child.
