I am Kristina... the Lumptuous* lady who can be seen in a sombrero in the previous post! I have been busy behind the scenes and haven't stopped by to write yet.
This website is very very close to my heart, and Amanda's too! We came together on the idea one day driving three hours and getting lost somewhere, on an ordinary day that turned out to be extraordinary. Amanda had mentioned to me a few days before that she had this great idea for us but she would tell me when we were on our drive, because we rarely get uninterrupted adult time! Naturally I was on pins and needles wondering what it was! All the time I was also thinking very intently about my own blog, and life direction, and what to do and where to go, etc etc etc.
Then she says, I want us to do something together. She started talking, I started talking, and a few hours later, a fully formed idea was born and we had chosen a name. Truth be told, the name took us the longest. The ideas flowed so naturally, and we really wanted a name that would as well.
The idea of a village came to us because we have both believed for many years that your flesh and blood family are not the only ones who make up meaningful parts of your life. We are not related at all, and yet we are closer than sisters. She was holding my hand the day I found out I was pregnant, and I was holding her hand when she found out that her surprise pregnancy was... surprise...twins! Our lives are forever intertwined, and we depend on each other. It really does take a village.... and she is a huge part of mine!
We want to give to the world a place that we share. A place where you can talk about anything, your hopes, dreams, fears, and desires, all without fear of being laughed at or judged. And so, The Sacred Village was born. Please come back again and often so we can share this labor of our love with you!
XOXO

* Lumptuous - ie, a word combining lumpy and luscious... meaning... I may have a fat ass, but I've got sex appeal and sass!
