Amy Robbins-Wilson » Children’s Miracle Network http://amyrobbinswilson.com/blog Healing Music Artist Sat, 03 Nov 2012 00:42:56 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 This show explores the emotional and spiritual transformations associated with becoming a mother. Amy Robbins-Wilson leads the search for wisdom that used to be provided by a nearby grandmother or sister. This show celebrates the profound joy and love that we moms share but it does not shy away from the difficult aspects of motherhood. Is mothering wonderful? Yes. But the post partum period is also exhausting and overwhelming. This show offers new moms comfort and inspiration during those trying times and beyond. Topics include both an honest examination of the transformational issues of new moms and constructive ways to deal with them. These issues include the devaluation of motherhood in our society, the impact of geographic fragmentation on new moms and their families, the new relationships mothers must form, and the spiritual impact of becoming a mom. Parenting tips and advice are sometimes included but our focus goes beyond childcare to delving into our souls as mothers. We explore mothering as a spiritual practice and a transformational journey.

We were invited to come and tell our story and visit with the students.  Every one was bright and articulate and made me hopeful for the future.  Our son Clayton was hosted by a group of sorority sisters from AOPie.  I expected him to one day be surrounded by intelligent, beautiful and adoring women but I didn’t expect it to be so soon!  He also got to meet some engineering students, which was a highlight as he wants to be an engineer someday.

The money raised from the event will go to support the stream of miracles that come out of our local NICU and children’s hospital.  A fabulous event.  Thank you UMaine!
