And then there were three

It was not long after my previous blog entry back in April (I know - I'm a slacker) that I took that little test that showed two lines instead of one saying... YOU'RE PREGNANT! Of course, I didn't believe the first one, or the second or third tests, but by the sixth positive test I was starting to believe it!

Fast track to now, I'm almost 5 months along and looking a little rounder out front than before and the journey has become really exciting. The first trimester was all about risk, nausea, keeping it a secret... nothing pleasant, but now it's getting interesting. It took me until 20 weeks to finally look pregnant, and now not only do I have my bump (which I'm very proud of) but I can feel our baby kicking, and so can my husband now.

We've found out we're having a girl and we couldn't be more thrilled... life is full of twists and turns and this is one adventure we're more than a little nervous about, but ready to embrace. We've read the books, done the classes, watched the DVD's, gotten advice from friends and family but we're smart enough to know that nothing can really prepare us for what's ahead. So we're just going to buckle up and enjoy the ride!

New Beginnings

Greetings fabulous women!

Well a new year inevitably brings the excitement of new beginnings, and here at Glow we're no exception. Our very own Life Coach extraordinaire, Sabrina Holmes, is preparing to welcome the birth of her first baby (still affectionately known as 'Peanut') to the world, which is very exciting.

The joy of new babies is that they come into the world with no pre-conceptions about how things 'should' or 'shouldn't' be. They have no judgments, no concerns, no worries and, as they grow into walking, talking children, they develop a boundless curiosity about all that is possible.

Children approach life with a beautiful and pure sense of 'anything is possible' because they haven't yet learned that it isn't. That's a clue for the rest of us, because how many things have we 'learned' that have created imaginary boundaries for us that ultimately restrict our growth? "Oh no, I can't do that, it would be socially irresponsible", or "No, that's not possible because I don't have the (time, money, skills...)".

With the new year upon us, take a few minutes to establish what imaginary boundaries you've placed upon yourself that are undoubtedly restricting your growth, and not allowing you to be the person you are aching inside to be.

This month we encourage you to approach your life with childlike curiosity and enthusiasm... try looking at your situations through the eyes of a child. Have no boundaries, question everything, and don't always assume that you know something is wrong or right for you.
