Many of you may know by now, but for those who don't, p.s..
I'M PREGNANT!
My husband and I have been praying for a while as to whether or not we were to grow our little family, or stay where we were. On May 8th, during our Mother's Day service at church, there were approximately 15 families on stage for baby dedication. One of our dear friends stood there so proudly with their baby boy, and as soon as they stepped forward, I immediately heard what was the inaudible, yet unmistakable voice of God gently whispering, "It's time. You're to have a son!" I found myself a bit emotional and overwhelmed; not only a baby, but a baby boy!
I thought to myself, 'okay, let's just tuck that information away for later', but immediately, Adam leaned over to me and whispered, "you know we're supposed to have a baby!?", and I said, 'yea, I just heard that too!' What an incredible experience knowing you've just connected with the Holy Father, who so clearly spoke to not one, but two of His seeking servants.
As we left church, Adam asked if I heard what we were having, and I responded yes, a boy. He responded that he had heard the same, and we rejoiced with glory-bumps together!
Now, know that I will not be finding out the sex of our expected, but I will let you know as soon as HE arrives. We are trusting that what we both heard was true, and are referring to the baby as 'he'; I'll be excited to share the definite sex upon the arrival.
Thanks to all of you who have been so understanding and sensitive to me during this time. You guys know how healthy & determined to stay healthy I am, and I won't miss an appointment unless I'm on my deathbed. But there have been a few days were this baby has just wiped me out, and I've been worthless. Thanks for your willingness and flexibility to allow me to cancel when I've been unable to come in. I feel I can't say enough how wonderful you all are to me-
YOU GUYS ARE FAMILY!
Many of you have already inquired as to the future of your treatments and your yoga. Please know I plan to work as long as I am physically able, and for now, that's determined one day at a time. I'm just going to continue listening to my body, and as we draw closer to the end of the pregnancy, see how it goes. It may be that as we draw nearer to February (which is the due date) my days will grow shorter. Please know that your needs have been heavily prayed over and thought of as the decision was made to have my dear friend and fellow body worker Bonnie Price come in to fill the gap while I'm gone. She will be in the office
Monday-Thursday from 10 am-1pm,
so for many of you, your current day & time may change. My hope is to keep as many of you on your current schedule, but I know for some, your schedules will not permit for much change. If you foresee these times as a problem, please let me know and let's see if we can work out a time for you that might work with her at her office. As always, your flexibility will be greatly appreciated.You will still receive your treatments at the office of LifeSource, unless other arrangements need to be made. Bonnie has been kind enough to work on my behalf while I can not, and still share the income so that mine does not come to a screeching halt.
THANK YOU, BONNIE!
While treatments are received by Bonnie, gift certificates and package rates will be temporarily unavailable.
I know that this will be an inconvenience to many of you, but please understand that because I will not be available to fulfill the gift certificates, it is only fair that I do not sell any. For any certificates sold prior to January, the cancelation dates will be extended to accomodate those sold. As far as packages, to minimize confusion and paperwork, I am requesting your pre-purchased packages be wrapped up in December. You will still be able to utilize any purchased prior to Bonnie, but no additional ones will be available until I return. Just a FEW changes-
it won't last long, gang!
I think Bonnie is an amazing, caring, and gentle bodyworker, and I know that you guys are going to love receiving her work as much as I do! Please know that if you fall in love with her work, my feelings will in NO WAY be hurt. All bodyworkers have very different techniques and gifts, and Bonnie's are many; so know if you wish to continue on with her once I've returned, I will be nothing but supportive and encouraging of that- because I think she's great!
As far as yoga, I'm still praying about the direction I wish to take. There are few yoga instructors in Birmingham that I would entrust you guys to, especially for individual work, so I'll let you know when I've come to a definite decision. We will continue classes as scheduled, and I will probably return to teach long before I return to do bodywork. I will let you know of some options available to you for classes, because you all know how important it is to me that you maintain your schedules-
PLEASE DON'T STOP YOUR ACTIVITY BECAUSE OF ME!
If you chose to back off your routine until I can reconvene, we will be starting off at square one, and we all remember how hard square one is, right? So keep up your movement, keep up what you've already learned, and keep up YOUR practice! I want to see you all still able to touch your toes when I return!
I look forward to "growing" with you, as well as sharing this new season in life!
I will be giving you contact information for Bonnie as the time grows nearer. Until then,
thanks & NAMASTE!
