How I Got Pregnant Holistically: The Spiritual Side of the Story Part 3
As I neared the little girl, a couple thoughts went through my mind: What if I scare her into running into the street, the very opposite of what I want to do? What if people think I’m trying to kidnap her? Actually, if I’m being honest, I thought the second thought before I thought the first one. How sad is it that my first concern was that no one think I was trying to kidnap her, and not for her safety? So I started shouting, “Helloooo!! Hellooo!!” I kept thinking I would see a distraught Mom running down the lawn … Continue reading
How I Got Pregnant Holistically: The Spiritual Side of the Story Part 2
I asked Brian, “What do I need to work on in order to ‘attract’ my children to me? I didn’t realize this was a marketing campaign.” Brian replied, “Well, do you really have room in your life right now for a child?” I thought about that…I owned an ailing spa, and worked an almost full-time high-tech marketing job on the side to pay for said ailing spa. I was busy almost 7 days a week, every week. Where WOULD a child fit into that kind of schedule? “As soon as you decide to trust in your higher Self and make … Continue reading
How I Got Pregnant Holistically: The Spiritual Side of the Story Part 1
A couple months ago, I wrote about how I went to see a holistic health practitioner and was able to conceive within four months of my first visit to her. But that is only the physical side of the story. There is a whole other spiritual side that I have been shy to tell, for fear that I won’t be believed, or that people will think I am crazy. However, not to tell it is to deny an important side of me that is refusing to be quiet. So I am going to tell it. In May of 2009, I … Continue reading
A heartily laughing little baby
The little Apple’s grandfather (“Lolo” in Tagalog) came to visit her for Easter weekend. I heard her hearty little laugh ring out while I was in the bedroom, and I just had to come out to see what was so funny…I thought he must have been doing something special to entertain her, but it turns out all he was doing was letting her push a book off his hand with her fist or her feet. He must have repeated this action about 50+ times. This video is towards the tail-end of it, as everyone was starting to be concerned that … Continue reading
Ode to Hubby
Dearest Husband, I looked at you this morning, your face soft in sleep, and thought to myself, “No fair, he is still so handsome.” I watched you hug and kiss and croon to our baby girl last night, your face suffused with delight, and I thought, “What a good father.” And then I started thinking about how today is your birthday, and how much you mean to me, and how we have stood by each other through both thick and thin. I thought about all the times you’ve held me as I’ve cried my eyes out: when I figured out … Continue reading

The things I learned this past Earth Day.
As much as I consider myself a Holistic Mom, I have to admit that I am not a very “Green Mom.” Until recently, I hardly ever recycled, I drink out of a new plastic water bottle nearly every day, and my baby does not wear cloth diapers. <== This last part is because I am extremely squeamish about touching poop, even that belonging to my own adorable little Apple. But more on this later. Back to Earth Day. So I am afraid to admit that I am not very eco-friendly or eco-aware. I wonder if it has to do with … Continue reading
Holistic Remedy for Allergies: Honey?
A newsletter subscriber of mine recently asked me about using honey as a holistic remedy for allergies, so I thought I’d blog about it, since my eyes and nose are watering these days, too. My husband and I usually trade off with the explosive sneezes around this time of year – he starts in March and suffers for two weeks. I start a bit later, around the April timeframe, but suffer for much longer (usually until June or so). Anyway, this subscriber had heard that honey could be a good remedy for her nephew, and she wanted to find out … Continue reading
