Thanks, everyone! Luschka, the transformative potential of online information and discussion is really underrated. Thanks for sharing.

I think many of my parenting ideas would have been the same, but the execution would probably have been different. My birth, however, would probably have been the standard, run of the mill, hospital/intervention/c-sec birth that is prominent here... I am eternally grateful to this community for giving me this experience, and with it a new passion, and a new way of life.

I can totally related to that! I think the only time I get any mental rest is coding/designing sites, photography, and getting a shower lol.

I strive to be mindful myself, and so often miss the point. Hopefully, one day, I'll get it.

Integrity brings rest because when we act within its parameters we lose no sleep over our actions now or in the future. The work we do is inspired by each other, our capacity to survive and thrive and our birthing and parenting is perhaps a form of passive resistance to the oppression we face daily." This made me cry. I've been so overwhelmed lately by this wonderful community of natural parent bloggers - first with this carnival over the months and then with my carnival of gentle discipline. I really feel like I gain energy and hope from all the other mothers out there staying up late at night after their babes sleep doing this thing called blogging. Some call blogging a vanity project but I see everyday that this is not true. We know what we are doing is right and we work tirelessly together. “Finding, cherishing and maintaining our community, our chosen families.
