Mother Hearts
I am feeling very blessed by all of the women in this community tonight. It may be our grief that unites us but it is our mothering hearts that make our community so incredibly supportive and healing. May you all find light in the darkness wherever you are in this world.
Today I was graced by the presence of some wonderful mother’s from the baby loss and infertility community. After many technical difficulties we were finally able to come together and speak aloud about what it is like to go through Mother’s Day as a mother who grieves for her babies or for her fertility. You can watch the chat through this youtube video. Please excuse the first few minutes. A special thanks to Jonathan the Director of The STILL Project for coming to my aid to help me host the hangout from behind the scenes.

I want to take this moment to thank everyone for their love, support and encouragement over the past year. I feel truly [...]

I’m so broken today. Like the rest of Australia, I woke to the news of the children and people whose lives were taken from them in Connecticut this morning. I weep as I imagine the terror that these little innocent souls would have faced. I imagine them calling for their mamas to rescue them and [...]
The Prayer Flag Albums
Over the next few weeks I will be photographing over 350 prayer flags at Christian’s Beach. Because there are so many flags, to make it easier for everyone to find their photos I am going to make alphabetical albums. There will be a few extra albums for unnamed babies and flags that have multiple names [...]
The Ceremony
