From Bitter to Sweet

Only with experiencing the bitter do we appreciate the sweetness of life. My pregnancy has shifted! After ten weeks of miserable nausea and fatigue, I almost feel like myself again. Well.... a pregnant version of myself.


Why the shift? I sought help. As an energy coach, I can facilitate my own clearing, but with my own energy at an all-time low, this ability seemed inhibited. First, I prayed about it. Then, I found a fellow colleague who I felt impressed would be able to assist me. Her name is Amberly Robinson. After a session with Amberly yesterday morning, I felt a huge difference. In fact, I almost forgot I was pregnant. It helped to have an objective viewpoint--from someone outside of the storm, so to speak. 


I feel incredibly grateful for this experience and this personal trial. There were some life lessons that I needed. I was judging myself for my inability to think positively out of this physical discomfort. And I wasn't staying hydrated spiritually and physically. For over a month I could only sip water. I consumed about 8 oz. a day. More water made me hurl. Similarly, I was only sipping at the true "fountain of living water"--my true source of peace.


 We share a cultural consciousness about pregnancy as struggle that hearkens all the way back to Eve. Yet it's possible to release what no longer serves us. For me, this 1st-trimester blues served me for awhile. There were important lessons that I needed to learn.  But perhaps, once I learned it, I could let it go.  


I am grateful for Calyco and the abundant resources God puts me before me.
