Hi all. Fall is really here. Our leaves up here have peaked and are dropping. I just love the smell and sound of walking on fall leaves underfoot. The pull and undertow of fall and death so that rebirth can occur resonates strongly in our being. A stronger pull but similar to the one a menstruating women experiences on a monthly basis.
The task and gifts inherent in fall lay in our ability to focus on what we wish to keep and grow; and to honor what no longer works to the act of releasing.
You know, like what we do when we change over our closets and reassess our wardrobe. Sometimes we find we have grown out of an outfit or that it no longer feels fun to wear. When we release that article, it creates the energy for something new to flow into our closet.

ORGASMIC BIRTH
Labor day week was a busy one for me. As one of the local sponsors for the Orgasmic Birth film openings in Denver and Boulder I was blessed to spend some time with the film’s director and creator Debra Pascali- Bonaro along with the opportunity to network with many families and other pregnancy care providers.
Here I am at the Denver premiere of Orgasmic Birth on 9/1/08. In the picture, I’m on the left with Debra Pascali-Bonaro and Roberta Scaer (friend and author of A Good Birth a Safe Birth).
FOR THOSE OF YOU ON THE FERTILITY PROMOTION PATH, THIS ARTICLE AND FILM ARE ALSO FOR YOU–SO PLEASE READ ON.
Please do not discount viewing this movie. I am sharing my copy with some of my local fertility clients. I am curious to see how this movie may assist them on their fertility journey.
For all women, the gift of this movie is how it moves you to re-engage with and trust your intrinsic internal female receptive energy and power.
Debra’s story of how the film was “conceived’ is truly inspiring.
It all started with a powerful dream. Debra awoke from her dream with a deep knowing conviction that she had to make this movie about how birth can be an empowering, positive life experience. At the time, she worked as a doula and Lamaze trainer. She knew absolutely nothing about making a film. Because this knowing was so strong, she spent the next 2 years learning everything she needed to in order to create this film.
As she learned new skills, she and the spirit of the film attracted to her the people and subjects who became part of this powerful film experience.
To me this sounds a lot like the process of how we create our families.
When a family gives birth in love and not fear, fully supported, they learn that they can create and accomplish anything. Now that is power!
This movie helps us to remember and elicit the deep trusting of the natural process of birth which has been eroded by the pervasive fear in our culture.
An interview about the movie will be airing on 20/20 and will be featured on ABC-TV´s news magazine 20/20 on Friday, October 24. This date is subject to change, even at the last minute, if a news event bumps it.

CULTIVATING ENJOYMENT is the one navigation tool that works through all times of change and transition. The key is to find the most pleasure in whatever activity you are involved in, whether it is driving to work, washing dishes, or going for your daily walk.
Remember that to vibrate in a place of trust and love antidotes fear, pain, and contraction.
Here are some questions to ask yourself during your day in order to redirect yourself to optimal enJOYment .
I have found for myself that when I ask myself these questions and respond and act on my answers, my days are filled with flow, synergy, and a greater sense of accomplishment.
In this moment, what will bring me the most enjoyment?
The most pleasure?
The most joy?
What activity feels the easiest to complete, to navigate or to begin?
