As I relax into my seat and let out a gentle breath, my babe slows her sucking and I look down to see her eyes are fixed on mine. She studies me, learning and relearning my features and expressions. She pauses mid-suck to smile and make one of those lovely contented gurgle sounds.
My heart rushes and in that instant, I know.
I know She knows...
She knows that I am hers,
and that She is mine...
I feel so blessed to have this little soul with me on this journey. I am so grateful she chose me to be her mother.

This pic of TA on my lap having a snack feed is from around September 2005 and it's a photo that I consider to represent the modern breastfeeding mum - working from home with the flexibility to breastfeed on demand :D

from The Path of the Priestess
I'm reading a fabulous book at the moment. The Path of the Priestess by Sharron Rose.
Have a read of this and share what do you think...
"Looking across the landscape of today's culture, one can easily see that the definition of what is feminine is mired in deep confusion. Hollywood and the media provide us with stereotypical seductresses and vixens; gun-toting, muscle-bound women who turn to violent answers; anorexic models who teach us that self-starvation is eminently attractive; hard-edged businesswomen married to their corporations; and women and girls portrayed as victims, prostitutes, and sociopaths. Then, of course, there is always the example of the woman who has totally subordinated herself to her husband, the image that so many of us rebelled against in the 1960's and 1970's. But is commanding military troops or leaving one's children to spend sixty hours a week fulfilling corporate expectations really what women were fighting for all those years?"
