The word Alchemy points me to the notion of finding beauty in the ordinary and mundane. It is how I photograph - I strive to find the extraordinary, sometimes in unlikely places. In a recent workshop, I learned that my purpose and passion is to play and explore whatever is wonderful and authentic in this life journey, as well as to encourage and inspire others to do the same. Through this blog, I invite you to come along as I play and explore in my Wonderland!

Hypnobabies Reunion
This morning, Sean and I started out with a bit of a bumpy ride in the way we communicated with each other after arguing all day yesterday. But since we had a reunion with our Hypnobabies class planned for this afternoon, we didn't want to have the day turn into another full day of arguing. So we tried to give each other space.
The reunion was great. Unfortunately, Helen, Mark and Otto couldn't make it. It was also too bad that Crystal was sick, so didn't think it would be a good idea to be around little babies. Thanks for the consideration, Crystal. Definitely appreciated it. It was great, however, that doula Alicia was able to join us. It was awesome to see you again!
It was a great reunion. There was punch and some treats, then we went in order of birth and shared all our birth stories. So awesome to meet all the babies! We even had a gift exchange. Paula and Juan, so glad we were able to have this reunion before your big move back to Chile. Safe travels and good luck on the move! Keep in touch, that's what Facebook is so great for!
In the photo are the munchkins that used to be in our bellies while we were in this very same room once a week for six weeks while we had our prenatal classes. From left to right: Owen, Lucas, Maddi & Milo.
After the reunion, Anne and Cat came for a short visit. So did Sean's mom. Unfortunately, Sean and I were starting to bicker with each other again, and I was just exhausted. So I basically "threw in the towel" emotionally, walked away and indulged myself with some intense Maddi cuddles. It's not a bad way to end the night, considering how rough the whole weekend has been.
