Egyptian Mummy


After just cutting my own hair into a Cleopatra style, I am now sat at the computer listening to the commotion of the busy streets 11 stories below me. This is absolutely incredible, what a city to end up in! We thought we were leaving the 'mad' city of Hereford to move to the quite village in Bulgaria but we have remained open to change and here we are in 'Crazy City Cairo', with a Pyramid view! We met our special friend today an amazing women who is planning to have her baby in true lotus fashion and together we started thinking about the idea of The LBC moving to Egypt!

William (my love) is into Urban Exploration in a big way! This is like a dream for him here, there is so much happening, so much creation in a place that looks like so much has been distroyed, shops dressed as shrines to killer-cola (coke) and pepsi. I feel that he would be in his element here, never a dull moment (as I type this there is screams of laughter roaring through the chaos rubble filled street, the car horns are never still.......)

The news this morning was exciting too, the ex~president and his son's have been arrested and obtained for questioning, they are guilty, guilty, guilty! It's an exciting time for Egypt and we are honoured to be here to help see in the Revolution! If a country like Egypt can overcome the dictators and start to bring babies into the world peacefully and respectfully for both mother and child, then the rest of the world really has hope!

New hair cut is now making my boobs itch, better jump in the shower before my little nippers want feeding from their semi~Egyptian (wannabe) mummy and get a mouth full of trimmings!

Lotus love and life-long learning

Remaining WIDE Open to Infinite Possibilities

I am so excited to share with you the progression that has taken place for us in the last few days. We are not moving to Bulgaria after all! We have been called forth to a friend in need in Egypt, a women who is having her first baby and they would like us to be around for emotional support. We fly our on the 12th of April and we paid an extra £30 to offset our carbon emission, which makes us feel a little less guilty about flying, but considering that I haven't flown for nearly 12 years since coming back to the UK from Tennessee then it's no too bad. I wish I knew about Ina May Gaskin then I would have loved to meet her, but I wouldn't have been ready, too young and without child, that makes a difference. Perhaps our time will come?

Because of this change in plans, we are going to be coming back to the UK in May and we will be able to meet Dr. Sarah J. Buckley!!!!! Looks like we will meet at an NCT Training Day on the 25th, location to be confirmed!!! What an amazing shift in direction for us and our campaign. This campaign is our souls purpose, when I am working on ideas and making contacts all is well within me, I am now understanding that in order for me to live my purpose, I need to remain WIDE open, I need to allow my self to be directed by a greater source, the universe! We always look to being open and true to our beliefs but remaining so and in a wide fashion takes practice. I think we are starting to get the hang of this now and it feels fabulous!

We will also be at Sunrise Celebration festival in Bruton, June 2nd to the 5th. Somerset http://www.sunrisecelebration.com

Where we will pay tribute and rememberence to Brian Viziondanz, who past away last month. Brian made documentary films at Sunrise. They will be naming the lower field'The Viziondanz field of infinate possibilities'in dedication to Brian.
Here is a quote from Brian from his facebook page; "Living, breathing and acting to create a world that works for all of us, for the child inside each one of us, for all the children everywhere and all the children to come - the highest common denominator of the human race is love"

And check out his website http://www.infinitepossibility.org/projects1

William had spoken to Brian at a past event about our campaign and about our idea of making a documentary about lotus birth and he said he would have loved to become involved. Thank you Brian ~ you gave so much love to our world, you will be greatly missed.

And thank you for being here and reading this blog, it too means that you are remaining WIDE open to the infinite possibilities!

Love Cher x

Our New Brochure PDF style

We are excitedly packing up some brochures to go to Patrick Houser from the incredible Fathers-to-Be organisation (check out our links to the right). He will be hosting some events with Dr. Sarah J Buckley this May, so we are thrilled that our brochures on 'How to Have a Lotus Birth' are going to be put into 'goody bags' for those attending the talks.


Sarah Buckley has lovingly endorsed our brochures and our campaign work and we are sad that we will be missing her visit. It's the first time she will be presenting her work in the UK. Very exciting times for her and for the people who are getting this amazing opportunity to hear her speak about those issues that really need attention.


Sarah's book Gentle Birth Gentle Mothering is so powerful as of course it has all the medical know how and facts that you want to be able to understand and inform others with but it also holds the love and wisdom of an experienced mother. She writes powerfully about conception, pregnancy, birth, breastfeding, and beyond and I recommend this book to anyone who asks about further reading.


Our brochures display a beautiful colour photograph of Sarah and also inside three colour images of our son Wilde's Lotus Birth. We are happy to email you the PDF so you can some printed up yourself and hand them out to freinds, clients, colleagues and your family, who might not know much about lotus birth and why you are choosing this for your baby.

Email us for the PDF lotusbirthcampaign@gmail.com

Love Cheroona xx
