birth lounge

Over the past several weeks, I've been working hard with a team of highly capable, creative, intelligent and energetic women. We call ourselves The Birth Lounge-- Eight service providers with a common clientele among Vancouver population of childbearing families. We've been meeting for about a year, holding monthly info sessions for the public and getting together to plan local promotions and to support one another as women entrepreneurs. We've been meeting more frequently lately because we're putting together a community wide festival "to celebrate bellies, birth and babies", Birth Fest. It's a big deal and a LOT of work. No single one of us would undertake to do such a thing alone. Even as part of a team, I've approached the breaking point. But we're a team, and by pooling our talents and resources and care, we're making it happen. Together, we feel not just capable, but strong. I'm thankful for the support and encouragement and inspiration of these fine women colleagues.
