Mommy Gong!

By Debra DeWeese

I never dreamed I would be a mother. No one that knew me ever had that thought either! I was content climbing the corporate ladder, and having a fancy-free life, yet filled with purpose. Then, at 37, my Mommy Gong went off!

I had to meet someone, fall in love, and start a family immediately. No time to mess around or court. I had to identify someone and fall in love fast! Within months, I met my love.

Next I crafted my indoor mommy alter. It was clear on intention. Mother figurines, and symbolism abounded, statues, postcards, puka shells for fertility, and an abundance of nature! It was beautiful and clear to the universe that my full intention now was to become a mom!

I was pregnant with my first daughter within one month, and knew, by the energy that clearly, clearly, clearly she was a girl!

The Power of Clarity and Intention:

- I wanted children that represent the global community. I’m Caucasian and their father is Guatemalan.

- Zero population growth: 2 children

- Astrologically I wanted a Taurus (1st daughter), and a Gemini/Cancer – ok – off by two weeks on that one and got a Leo, but I love her anyway (hah!)

- Natural childbirth, both, second one at home at age 42 – you can do it!

- For childbirth, incorporated a lifetime of skills, meditation, imagery (ocean waves in and out with each contraction), pre-natal yoga, no caffeine, no meds – for me it was all about choosing self-sacrifice from the very start! I wanted these children, and I had them.

- Midwives and natural deliveries for both of them.

And growing up, my strategy was experiential over stuff. I ended up a single mom so choices had to be made. We spent time picking apples, pumpkins and blueberries. Took many road trips and saw a lot of America.

I am now the mother of two beautiful, young adult daughters, and every year that I approach Mother’s Day I feel so blessed that I listened to that Mommy Gong!
