Did I ever tell you about the first time I told a group of strangers about my pregnancy story? 

Well, to talk about this, I’ll have to bring you back to March. 

The last morning of the third month fell on a Sunday, which made my heart happy. I think there is much good energy in ending a month on the day of rest and beginning a new month on a Monday. 

At this point, I had gotten into ritual in many aspects of my life. I had gone on a twenty-one-day cleanse that had cleared my body of yeast alongside removing dairy, gluten and sugar from my life. This was the first time in my life I had done something like this. I had always wanted to try to let go of the white stuff, and yet, it wasn’t until I was in a group setting that it really made me look at my addiction to sour candy. 

This cleanse was led by a teacher of consciousness who had lived on the island a few years back. She was the one who taught me about what happens when you tell a story three times. The first time you tell a story, it is to release it. The second time you tell that same story, it is to understand it, and the third time, if you ever tell that same story again, is to gift it.
