Just in case any of my blog readers are interested in how I am preparing for Baby #2, I am (of course) reading birthing books, staying active, and getting the hodgepodge of baby items ready.  This time around I have been fortunate to find some great Prenatal Exercises resources.  Thought I would share them with you in case you (or someone you know) could benefit.  1) The New Method: Baby & Mom Prenatal Yoga DVD (with Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa) - a Kundalini yoga workout excellent for birth preparation. I especially enjoy the stretches for "making space" for baby, birthing squats, and endurance exercises.

If you've visited my website recently, you will no doubt have noticed my Happy News - my husband and I are expecting another baby this spring!  Once the baby arrives (due in April), I will be on a couple months of maternity leave and will not be available until June (most likely late-June), just in time for the beginning of Lily Dale's summer season.  To balance work and family, my summer schedule will be VERY limited.  Motherhood is very important to me (and they are babies for such a short time!) so I will be slowly easing back into seeing clients in order to give my family (and our newborn) the attention each member deserves. My work as a Medium is also very important to me.  Those of you who have had readings with me know that I believe in creating 'sacred space' for the duration of the session where my focus is centered on the spirit(s) and information we are connecting with. This means that I will only be available for readings a few days...
