On Thursday, November 3rd @ 11:24pm our little Emma arrived. This pure Soul encased in a beautiful body joined our family. The incredible gift of her arrival is the common bond of our open hearts, open arms, open world for our little Angel.
Watching my son so effortlessly step into the role of fatherhood is what most deeply touches my heart and brings tears to my eyes. Since a young teenager he would tell me, "you know Mom, I'm going to be a good father." As a young man he would affirm the same, "I'm going to be a great dad…I really want to be a great dad." He has been with Grace every step of the way throughout her pregnancy, every doctor visit, everything asked and required…he was there. He lights up whenever he looks at his little girl and to my amazement she opens her eyes and turns when she hears his voice. He is so very proud of Grace giving birth naturally and nursing…he's sure to tell everyone who visits. I see a strong man, strong partner, strong father…and yet I see and feel the softness his great love holds.
When my daughter Tracey held Emma for the first time…I watched her tears roll down her cheeks…more love, more opening…the blessing of Emma.
A year ago life was full of challenge and as Mother to my children I helped them navigate the challenges they faced and affirmed every step of the way we are moving through it and there is no reason to ever visit these particular challenges again because now this Karma is released. I bless my children and at the same time understand they are making their own journey and traveling their own path to Self. And so begins this journey for our dear little Emma. We are born pure, innocent Souls and for some reason travel backward through this life. The influences of the world around us begin to separate us from the pure Divine Light within. We struggle, we love, we hurt, we laugh, we cry, we make good choices and poor ones…but every moment serves a purpose in the evolution of our Soul and our Karma. If we are awake at all we hope to attain and seek something that is/was there all along…something we can never be separate from…our Soul, our Spirit, the God within. The ultimate treasure in our lifetime is Self Realization…to Know the God within, to be One with our Divine Nature.
I hold with tenderness our little Emma, awed by her beauty, her peacefulness, her deep blue eyes and rosy complexion, and how this tiny little Soul is performing miracles in our hearts just by Being. Emma is my first grandchild and this is indeed a monumental moment in my life and the best part of all…is the wonderful man I have to share this with…I am truly blessed.
