Season Greetings

Debra Pascali-Bonaro

Wishing you love and peace in this season of light. For those in the Northern Hemisphere, as we leave some of the darkness behind and welcome the light today on Solstice, I pray that the love and caring the world has shown helps to provides comfort and healing for all those who lost loved ones in the tragedy in Newton, CT and all who are suffering loss.

In the last weeks, I lost a dear father and along with my family have also been grieving. As we celebrate his life, I struggle to find a new way of holding him close this holiday season. I am filled with gratitude for the time we had together and the many ways he touched and shaped my life. I am comforted by the many thoughts and prayers that have surrounded us these last weeks. Thank you for these.

As I write this, I am filled with gratitude for you. For touching my life with your spirit and desire to bring peace on earth thru birth. Each one of us is helping to create a world where every woman receives respect, dignity and informed decision making for where, with whom and how she gives birth. I am forever grateful to share this path with you. I thank you for being a part of our Orgasmic Birth family and hope you will join me in the New Year as we launch a new web site, webinars, destinations workshops and more so that we can stay in touch and share creative ways to Awaken our Inner Wisdom in life and birth.

Today is also the end to the Mayan Calander. I like to think of this as the end of the world as we know it. May a new cycle for humanity begin as we spread the doula spirit in all our lives, creating a circle of support for birth and life. Feminine energy is rising and balancing as we value girls and women around the world. I can feel the effects as I speak and teach around the world. Our doula skills of unconditional caring and nurturing are spreading and reawakening our world as we work to ensure that we welcome each new baby with love, peace and gentleness.

May this holiday season fill you with Love, Light and Peace.
