Exciting news, dearest ones! A baby is on the way! Its an unusual pregnancy, according to the ultrasounds, you are going to give birth to......YOURSELF!
Oy vey! But you must get prepared.
There's the nest to build. Every twig in your home matters. Make sure each one is solid. But also make sure its a beautiful home. Beauty in a home makes for lightheartedness. Sweet smells, sunshine, a few pretty furniture, they all go a long way in giving us a healthy mind, a healthy attitude.
Try not to shout too much, or have angry words. The walls should not have to absorb such energy! Remember the three walls to the house: The actual four walls. Your clothing. Your body.
Eat Well. Every calorie has got to count. No more munching on non-nutritious food. No more feeding into old habits. You've got to live consciously. Every alive moment counts -there's no time for slumbering.
I remember a story someone told me at a meal once: A friend of hers went to give bone marrow somewhere. After the procedure some time later he found out that the anonymous person he had given bone marrow to had a full recovery. But what was interesting was that there was so much MSG in his system, some of it got into his bone marrow.
(Now I ain't vouching for this story, a friend told me this. But all the health books I know does say to reduce MSG especially when preg.)
Anyway, every entree should be a wholesome power pack. No filthy images, no harsh sounds, no poison. The goal is energy, positivity, faith, and clarity of mind. Where does the food go? In the mouth. The ears. The eyes. The two nostrils. These seven candles, these seven openings are the window to your inside; there is simply no wasting permitted.
Allow for growth. As the time grows nearer, your shape will change. You will need to allow room for expansion. Don't get upset at your every fault, your every stumble. Its appreciated and good. And necessary. Those who love you, truly love you, will be there for you despite it all. That brings me to the last point:
Have a support team ready. As you busy yourself divesting from all the toxic baggage, remember to invest in positivity (otherwise you'll end up divesting into nakedness!). What environment do you want this new baby in? This new you. What spirit do you want around this new you? Do you know people who fit that mode/mood? People around you are important because (1) Its very hard to be alone especially at the vulnerable time of birthing-this is from a loner talking. Also (2) people play a key role in delivering God's message to you. If your around only angry people, and there's the incoming message of "you need your own income" for example, if you're around angry people then the message will sound something like:
"Girl, get off my back!!! When are you gonna stand on your own two feet!! I'm sick and tired of you!!" Perhaps with a name calling for good measure.
If you surrounded by loving folks however, then that same message will sound differently:
"Sweety, its not good for you to be too dependent. Take some time and see how empowering it is to make your own income."
We can hope it should sound even sweeter than that and all the more empowering and energizing! You don't need the whole world to be good before the beauty that is you emerges. A good community of support is enough.
Well, good luck with all the preparations and may the birth be at the right time!

Miriam, you're right: we all need a new birth, to bring forth that which is hidden, but is always ready to reveal itself.
We're more than we know, and greater than we admit.
It's time we give birth to the grandeur that we are.
Although for many the birthing pains may be severe, it doesn't have to be that way.
Your advice and guidance is a good way to prepare for that rebirth, and self-forgiveness and total acceptance of All That We Are is key:
"Don't get upset at your every fault, your every stumble. Its appreciated and good. And necessary. Those who love you, truly love you, will be there for you despite it all."
