Jeannine Receives Lifetime Achievement Award
JP says, " responded like a cross between Denzil Washington & Hally Berry when they received their "best" Awards -- I do hope my acceptance remarks had the most gracious parts of each. I am still in shock as it was a total suprise -- to see my colleagues from around the world on their feet applauding and beaming love to me --- it was overwhelming. I was almost speechless. "(By the way, I like this Award better than the Academy Awards -- not only because I go it, but rather than being honored for acting out other people's lives, I got the highest award for playing my own life.) "I am grateful to you for your part and thank you for continuing to be in my life just the way you are. Looking forward to the next time Grandmother Spider spins our webs together. For the Babies, With Love, Jeannine"
Accolades from around the world about the Lifetime Acheivement Award;Dear Parvati: I am not surprised to know you received this wonderful award. If it were up to me, I would have awarded this to you 21 years ago when I first met you. I too, stand up and applaud you for your integrity, your love, your wisdom, your sense of humor, your devotion to friendship, family, mothering and the children of the world. You live your life in truth and purity and you continue to influence and challenge those around you to stand up and be the best they can be. I honor you and I congratulate you on this award. But I also believe it is simply a token of what you stand for and what you continue to bring to the world. There is no award high enough or big enough to honor the Earth Mother who brings healing, health and peace to all who know her. My hat is off to you dear friend. I send you much love and light.

It is wonderfull to see how much a few people can do to make a difference, to make a noise that is really heard, and in turn inspires others... and they do their own good work, and the chain effect continues. So many strong woman and men in the women´s health and birth area have inspired me here so far away from a good strong holistic birth movement... who knows what I will end up doing??? I can only ponder and dream for the moment, but I am sure that it will be big. Take care and congratulations.

With all love and sharing of your joy! Aviva Jill Romm Hygieia Graduate Natural Health After Birth Well you've been a serious inspiration to me, that's for sure Love, Dan Russell Drug Wars Oh Jeannine: Congratulations! This is truly a worthy cause (GI). I continue to think how I can bring this message to people in my life - mainly women since moms seem to be the ones who make these decisions as they go to their doctors and allow this to happen to their sons - almost in total ignorance without a thought to what they are doing. I tread very carefully since there is a lot of defensiveness and foolish comments thrown out (like the time my sister was pregnant a few years ago and I said if it's a boy "I hope you will seriously consider not circumcising because....." And she said, "It's just a little skin." I think that a lot of my life choices are not seen as truly wise (by my extended family), but just an aberration of what is normal - ha! I continue to have this feeling that 20-40 years will have to pass before they are enlightened, but I do my best to share what I know when I can. Lynn Griesemer Unassisted Homebirth 'bout time. How totally wonderful!! Next step is the Nobel. Get ready... To you, the most, me thinks, deserving person in the world. yours, FinnPo Earth Birth Research OR Hi Jeannine, I am so happy for you.

Review of Prenatal Yoga & Natural Childbirth - Silver Anniversary edition By Robin Lim Author and Midwife My copy arrived by mail. I felt the stork had dropped a bundle on my doorstep. I so loved the first and later editions of Prenatal Yoga, and was nervous to see how 'she' had matured. First - the cover is delicious. Inside I found everything I always loved about Prenatal Yoga. The photos. The YOGA. The stories. A poem I treasure. Everything new in this book is ancient knowledge, wise words which I as a woman need to read over and over again. This book and I have a long 'herstory'. In 1975 to 76 I was a pregnant teenager. My midwives in Santa Barbara loaned me their 1st edition copy of Prenatal Yoga. I loved it so much that I bought one for myself. Following Jeannine's simple instructions for centering and healing my body through yoga, I achieved a blissful pregnancy, and an ecstatic passage into motherhood. I have always believed that, the quality of an expectant woman's fine level of feeling during pregnancy, greatly influences the wholeness of the baby's soul. Today, as I write, that first baby of mine, Déjà, is in Johannesburg, South Africa. She is a U.N. delegate at the World Summit on Sustainable Development. She is an advocate for human rights regarding HIV/AIDS policies for the poor. Today I cannot help but wonder if the quiet neck rolls, cat stretches, pythons, pelvic rocks and deep delicious breathing I did, daily while she grew under my heart, had an effect. The book Prenatal Yoga & Natural Childbirth, guided me through all five pregnancies. I have lost this book so many times. Loaned it out, given it away. Always when she comes home to me, I rejoice, and gobble up each word. As a midwife I plan to have many copies in my lending library. I do find that the women I help who practice prenatal yoga, have smoother deliveries. This makes my job less stressful. With the release of the silver anniversary edition I am certain that the next generation of mothers and their babies will be blessed. As a grandmother I intend to keep it on my shelf forever. |
