"I love that song!"
|
So many of you ask about the music that plays in the prenatal classes. It's Snatam Kaur's "Grace." Sarah says, "I have been to many, many births where moms are
singing along. Moms tell me all the time that they play it not only during labor but that babies love it, too."

OCTOBER 2008
|
Greetings!
 Blooma turns 1 this month, and I can't believe my "baby" is already a year old!! Thinking back over the year, I am in awe of the joys and challenges that Blooma has
brought to my life. It has been such a privilege to share these moments with you. I now know just what moms mean when they say 'some days are long but the years are short!'
This year, and even just the past few weeks, has been filled with the deep emotion and great lessons that come from Blooma. I've lived by the words "Trust Birth" for more than 300 deliveries. But words can hardly express what I've learned & felt about birth during the past few weeks.
For the first time, I witnessed the unthinkable heartbreak of a mama losing her baby in childbirth. The loss caused me to question everything I know and believe about birth, but the amazing spirit of the parents who lost their little one gave me a glimpse of faith that I will carry with me forever.
Also for the first time, I caught a baby being born at home. What a moment! It wasn't planned to be a homebirth, and yet it was a perfect and beautiful reminder that we can, and should, trust birth.
Both experiences were profound. I can't imagine having gone through this year without the deep support and connections of our Blooma community. I hope that you'll turn to Blooma, too, when the Universe comes to you with the mysteries, the joys, and sometimes the heartaches of birth, life, and death.
 Be sure to join us on Saturday, October 25, for Blooma's first birthday! We'll celebrate the good times, remember the tough moments, and share the love that comes from going through life with wonderful folks like you!
Be Blooma Well,
Sarah Longacre | Blooma founder
