Some people like to wake up and read the paper. I often choose to stare at a computer screen instead. Sunday morning for me is a great time to peruse the various blogs, links and sites that were forwarded to me in weeks past and didn't get the acknowledgment they deserve.
I've noted those worthy of further circulation below...
Artist Amanda Greavette from Gravenhurst Muskoka - a place responsible for many memories of my youth - offers an emotionally charged depiction of childbearing. Check out the painted curves in her recent Birth Project gallery. Beautiful work!
Read Taking Back Birth. Journalist for The Independent in Newfoundland, mother of two, and a dear friend of mine, Stephanie Trevorrow, reflects on her own contrasting birth experiences and the integration of the midwifery model of care into our society today. It's well researched, powerfully written and above all else, comes from a place of personal truth and experience.
And, last but not least, Women Painting Women is a really unique initiative to showcase, inspire and promote female artists. Some really interesting female portraits on this blog.
Enjoy :)
