A World of Happiness

Mel’s Precious belly that has my Henna work

I was approached by Mel a few weeks ago, to paint her pregnant belly. I always feel extremely grateful to people for giving me a chance to share such a special occasion with them. Being so far away from my family, I miss the regular family births that used to happen back home, and so when I get asked to become part of such a personal experience, I find it very hard to say no.

I invited Mel and her friend in my home, and we spent the afternoon, sitting together chatting about birth, life and the whole magical experience, sharing stories of different cultures.

After the beautiful Henna painting experience, Mel went home and sent a very touching email, which said “Thank you thank you thank you, a thousand thank yous!  My belly is so beautiful, and the experience of having you create it was amazing.  I am so glad that you are a part of this baby’s journey from inside my body to the outside world.  You have created a truly magical experience for baby and me, one that I will treasure always.  The energy and spirit that you brought to the process is a gift I will take with me into the experience of birth and beyond.  I am honoured to have had you contribute so richly to this final stage of my pregnancy. With warmest blessings, Mel”

I am totally speechless, for been given such a wonderful friend to share, one of lives miracle with. Thank you Mel !!
