UPDATE 12/20/11: I thought I'd share the knot my husband did for my new doula training business. I love it:)
You may have noticed that I changed my picture on the page. While I don't think it looks quite as nice, I feel like this picture symbolizes what I want to do with this blog. It's called the Celtic motherhood knot. Here's a good description of the meaning behind it:
"The Celtic Motherhood Knot or better known as The Celtic Mother's Knot is unassuming stylized holy trinity knot depicting a parent and child embrace. It is representative of the Madonna and child. Combined with a Celtic trinity knot it is a true testament to the enduring bond between a mother, her child, faith and their Celtic heritage.
The Celtic motherhood symbol looks like 2 hearts made out of knot work. One heart is lower than the first heart and both hearts are intertwined in a continuous knot.
To add children to the Celtic motherhood symbol, you add dots. 1 dot per child. These dots can be placed anywhere inside or outside the motherhood symbol."

I loved this idea, so I wanted it to be the symbol of my writing and what I do as a mother and doula. If there are any artists out there, I would love to have this done better for my page. I'd like something without the white background, but just have the knot stand out. I'd send you a free bottle of lavender oil as a payment:)
