Savor the moment, document the moment, remember the moment.

"  Don't be afraid of a little bit of pain

Pleasure is on the other side."

-John Legend, Save Room 

Five years ago, after laboring for 36 hours, my son, Bodhi, came into the physical world. 

For all those newly pregnant, expecting in other ways (surrogate, adoption), or seasoned moms, capture the moment of birth and shortly thereafter.  It is sacred.  It is life changing.  It is a reminder that life can be miraculous. 

Bodhi and I watched the video that was captured right after he was born today and it was as if I got to time travel and he witnessed how special life is.  It's not always easy.  And it can be damn painful...but pleasure can be on the other side. 

Expecting moms and dads...capture your birth moment.  Watch it often.  It is a reminder of what is important in this lifetime. 

Be love and light,
