40th Birthday Party
Last night I celebrated my 40th birthday with seven friends.
I was able to procure a copy of The Business of Being Born for the party and we watched it together. It was a joyful experience to celebrate my birthday with these friends as we shared the beauty and empowerment of that movie.
I received wonderful gifts of flowers, books, and candles from my friends, but mostly the party was blessed with the spirit of the Lord as we talked of true things and how to heal mothers and babes and the family overall from the overmedicalization of birth.
After everyone left the party Laura and I watched some of the extra footage from the DVD. I pulled out my camera and had my daughter take a couple pictures. I had forgotten to take pictures of the actual party, but this little montage shares our reaction to the movie. I have now watched it four times and I still believe it is the biggest leap forward for birth activism of the past thirty years.
I would highly encourage anyone reading this to purchase the movie when it comes out on DVD and have a party to share it with all of your friends.
