The moment you discover Life again

I follow a woman's writings of a journey. She and her family started in a house in Austin then gave away most of their things to pursue a life on the road while living in an RV. The family was having many amazing experiences until the discovery of a new pregnancy followed by a huge loss of finances curtailed the wanderings. The family decided to settle into a cabin in the mountains as they transitioned into a family of five (plus a huge, hairy dog).

I follow this blog because I admire this family's can-do spirit. This family has such positive energy as they embrace the spirit of life; not the physical "wants", but the spirit of happiness from within. I admire that they are choosing a path in life that is not typical. This family seeks adventure, but always within the boundaries of each members' comfort zone. Mostly I admire the pure freedom of the family.

Anyhow, they had their baby and the birth went great. You can read a little bit about in in a post called Surrender.

The moments of discovering the new life of a baby, your baby, with the world narrowing to only yourself and that wonderous new being, with life changing, rotating a full 180 degrees and becoming perfect once again, that is what a birth is. As a birth should be.

I am so happy Amy had such an experience.
