Fearless in the Apple!

Wow! We were blown away by all the amazing people we met in New York at the Baby Show. WYSH was wildly embraced by everyone who visited our booth. Thanks to Amanda and Shelly!

Here's a shot of our beautiful booth! We were thrilled to meet so many pregnant moms/dads-to-be and present "14 Things Every New Parent Must Know" as a Saturday seminar.

Our breathtaking blown up photo boards were shot by WYSH genius photog Lisa Trakis (www.lisatrakis.com) and printed by Portland Color. Thank you Paul!

One of the hot items was our "Fearless" toddler t in black with orange thread just in time for Trick or Treating!

WYSH wears it forward with Lance Armstrong

Phew! Things haven't stopped since WYSH launched. Next month, we are supporting Lance Armstrong's fundraiser for breast cancer research in his Tour De Lance in Montreal.

My good friend Bruce Hills, from the International Just from Laughs festival (which just wrapped up in Montreal last month) is riding along side Lance.

For this next month, until they ride on Sept. 11, 2009, 50% of the sale of every "Enjoy the Ride" WYSH t-shirt will go to support this cause.

Please join us. Enjoy the ride. And help us donate 50% of our proceeds.

Mothers everywhere need to trust their gut, know their options, and choose with conviction

Last night, on a foggy, wet New York evening, about a hundred people gathered at Citibabes in Soho to fete Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein on the occasion of their new book "Your Best Birth."

The midwife pioneer Ina May Gaskin flew in from Tennessee to be awarded a check for her work to ensure maternal health, safety and awareness in childbirth in "The Safe Motherhood Project."

What an emotional night! 

WYSH in the WORLD!

And...we're live! 

It has been a few years in the making, and WYSH is now a reality.

I have been working on this website with the brilliant team at Whitepenny (www.whitepenny.com), with whom this journey has been incredible. 

The gorgeous photos are shot by the amazing Lisa Trakis (www.lisatrakis.com)

I can't wait to share these empowering and inspiring messages with you!

Tonight, I am going to Ricki Lake's and Abby Epstein's book party to celebrate their new book "Your Best Birth" in New York. I'll be giving them a WYSH "Trust your gut" T-shirt! Abby Epstein is the director of the powerful documentary film "The Business of Being Born" which Ricki exec. produced www.thebusinessofbeingborn.com.  

Legendary midwife pioneer Ina May Gaskin, author of "Spiritual Midwifery," will be there, and she'll be getting a TYG WYSH shirt too.

Ricki is matching $5 with every $5 donation to support Ina May in "The Safe Motherhood Project."  (www.rememberthemothers.net.com)

Ricki, Abby and Ina May are three amazing women who have trusted their guts and follow their voices.
