Warm Love All! I hope every ones new year is off to a good beginning! Ours has been pretty good thus far. It seems as though organizing ones life never ceases to get easier, except I can say that I have developed a schedule and I am working on putting together a home planner which also includes my work/crafting/blogging ideas and schedules.(i will post about that later)
Nevertheless, we found out that we will be having a little girl!!! YAY!!! We we're all so very happy (especially my husband). To celebrate the news the little one and I made vanilla cupcakes with pink icing on them:) ([pictured above) LOL!
I am looking forward to nurturing a little goddess, although I must say that i am glad that I had a boy first. I always wanted a boy first because in my mind they were much easier to handle. Imsety is so very laid back...a bit rambunctious and filled with dare devil energy, but definitely laid back. I always pictured the time that we would have a girl would be when I really felt balanced physically and spiritually. What I mean is I wanted to make sure that in addition to the spiritual/philisophical/creative side of life that I would show her that taking care of her outer beauty is just important and special as well. I expect her to be quite different from me in style, yet I still want her to have a knowledge and respect for the domestic arts, painting her nails, adorning with henna and bindis and basically just creating the outer beauty she sees fit to share with the world and not be ashamed of it. I don't think that I was at that point about 5/6 years ago when I was pregnant with our son, my focus was on maintaining life and i put my outer beauty to the side quite a lot, so i am trying to get that balance back as it is crucial to me to have especially when having a little girl.
I think it will all be great. I am a bit nervous as to how the delivery will play out. You just never know what will happen when that time comes so all i can do to deter my worry is to visualize a healthy delivery. We saw her in the womb at 6 weeks and then again at 20 weeks and it was amazing to see the growth "spurt":) She has quite a set of lips on her and she seems to enjoy playing with her feet..LOL. Well, I guess that is all for now, hopefully along with my renewed schedule will come lots of great posts and features and hopefully a new craft business on the side! We will see!
Well, I hope all of you are on track with your goals and as usual I am so humbled and excited to see so many sisters in one spot who are willing to share a little bit of their life inspirations and to see so many women creating and networking with their business here on ymib! Thak you all for all you do.
With Warm Sister Love,

Wonderful Blessings!!
Congratulations to you on this new jouney in your life. I have 3 sons (22, 20 & 13) and an 18 year old daughter. Girls are so very different than boys emotionally, spiritually, and in every other way imaginable. You will very much enjoy watching your daughter grow and glow (when you are not wanting to KILL HER. LOL!!). She will test you in ways you never thought possible - but it's all for her growth as well as yours. Girls keep your mind sharp and your emotions charged at all times. Mine daughter will be heading off to college very soon - leaving the nest to go and find her own way. This event places me at the time of my life where I have to think, think, think and think "have I really taught her everything she needs to know", " will she really be able to handle herself outside of our watchful eye", "how will she deal with the many men who will cross her path"...............on and on the questions flow within. But, I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Children are a blessing - but daughters are an irreplaceable event.
Peace to you on YOUR journey!!

Many Blessings!
So many congrats to you and you family! This is such a blessed time. Take it from me, those little princesses are something else. But they are so much fun. I too had a boy first. I thought I had motherhood int he bag untill those two came along. My girls challenge me in ways I never imagined. They challange me to raise them to be beautiful, intelligent, artistic, and then some. You have to be creative with little girls because they are so witty and catch on so quick. You will have so much fun. God Bless you Queen! You deserve it
Much Love,

You get to go to football games and ballet recitals all in the same lifetime. I blew many kisses and good health to you and yours. the best is yet to come. Love that little angel while she is inside If she knows like I know she has a great mom. ATTITUDE GYAL
Pongezi (Congratulations)!
Pongezi Sana to you and your family. I am too expecting a little girl. She is due to come in February. This will be our fourth child and she is already teaching me more about myself than my other children. Don't worry about the delivery, it will go the way it is supposed to go. I definitely send positive energy your way and have a blessed delivery.
Love, Life and Liberation
