Should Mothers Consume the Placenta After Birth?

September 14, 2018September 14, 2018 / Grace Lucille / Leave a comment

It's been years since I blogged about a health topic and I honestly thought those days were over, but... here I am. I originally planned to make this a Facebook post just to share with my friends, but I had too many links and too much to say, so I figured I'd make it a … Continue reading Should Mothers Consume the Placenta After Birth?

I'm. Tired. I have so much going on. Part of my healing process involves being super creative and getting my expressions out into the world... writing, music, and my most recent exploration of fiber art @thegracefulbirch . If I don't do these things, I truly do suffer. However, doing them is a crazy juggle of priorities that I find so utterly exhausting. I still have to be a mother. Being a mother is exhausting. As a highly-sensitive introvert, connecting with others is great, but again, super exhausting. Intense connection of giggles and enjoyable conversation for even a few minutes can sometimes drain me and I start shutting down (children: the original "energy vampires"). Still haven't learned energetic boundaries yet. Haven't figured out how to fill my cup from heaven's inexhaustible source instead of burning out my own physical adrenals and causing my hormones to fluctuate like crazy. All that to say, my plate is full. I have on-going health issues that I keep needing to address (collecting my fragmented pieces is no easy task) and that takes so many forms. Trying to balance health and children is the most difficult for me. And I'm starting to wonder if I'm absolutely insane for trying to start a business with my art right now. Is that just adding too many responsibilities on my exhausted shoulders? I don't know. I felt led this direction and that's what I'm doing. That's all I can ever do... follow where the Spirit leads and trust that provision for making it all happen is here. I find myself praying more and more to Mother God for the grace to complete the tasks she has given to me. I do feel seen and loved right now, and that right there speaks volumes of progress. Ok, this was a serious ramble. I love you all so much it literally hurts. Pray for me :)
Took appx hour and fifteen minutes to clean the kids room. Oh God help me... trying to work an actual organizational system that helps them because this is insane. Was able to get rid of a few toys but they absolutely refused to let go of any stuffed animals... please people, never give us any more stuffed animals for awhile, we're good!
I just picked up this frame from the dollar store with no specific purpose in mind, and look! My adorable robin postcard from @lisamariaportfolio looks perfect in it! Now the real dilemma... where do I put it? Hahahaha
HERESY ALERT: GOD WOULDN'T USE A FOOD PYRAMID BECAUSE PYRAMIDS ARE FROM EGYPT AND GOD SET HIS PEOPLE FREE FROM EGYPT! BEWARE! DO NOT BE DECEIVED! NO I HAVE NOT READ THIS BOOK BUT I SMELL DECEPTION ALL OVER IT, IT SMELLS LIKE THOSE EGYPTIAN LEEKS THE ISRAELITES LUSTED AFTER, BEWARE THE LEEKS OF DECEPTION! Should I keep doing ridiculous satire posts or am I just crazy?
I call this delicate still-life piece "Toddler's Apple."
The weather was so beautiful today, so I took the chance to take pictures of the earrings I've been making to sell. I'm really into the tassels lately and have some in different colors. I'm finally getting ready to open my Etsy shop and these will be listed this week. Follow my business/crafty account @thegracefulbirch to stay updated!! Also big shoutout to @angelrox.purejoy for making awesomely beautiful and comfy clothing. I'm wearing their wifey tank, shrug, and headband. I'm seriously in love with those headbands, especially now that my hair is longer.
