Charlie's Blessing in Cayucos, CA

Thank you to everyone who came to Charlie's blessing.  Your support and love means the world to us.  Charlie's blessing was beautiful.  Cayucos was pounded by storms, high winds and hail the day before his blessing and we were all sure that we would have poor weather for his big day.  But the morning of the blessing the skies cleared and the sun shone bright!

Charlie was perky and ready to meet his village!

Here is the "Heal Charlie Bear" that Charlie's Grandma Happy made.

Sarah's mom wore a Native American bear fetish - Charlie's power animal.

The beautiful Vena Norton and her equally beautiful husband, Bob performed the blessing ceremony.  They also officiated Charlie's older brother's blessing in December of 2007 in Cayucos.  Dear dear people!

Just as we circled up for the blessing, the sunny sky began snowing.  It was the most bizarre and magical thing to see snow and slush falling in the midst of so much sun.  Vena held Charlie while Bob spoke the blessing.  Charlie had been a little fussy, but once Bob began speaking, he became very still and watched Bob through the whole thing.  It was awesome.

Friends and family had an opportunity to meet Charlie Baird for the first time.

Suzanne performs Reiki on Charlie.

Aunt Amanda and Grandma Happy are all smiles. Amanda 

hosted Charlie's blessing at her home in Cayucos.  Thank you Aunt Amanda!

Bizarre weather in Cayucos.  Snow on the coastal mountains!

...a rainbow!

...and a dreamy sunset.

Happy to be Drug Free

Today is a landmark day for Charlie Greenman.  He has spent the past seven months on a daily dose of Phenobarbital to quell seizure activity caused by his stroke.  And today, Charlie is drug free for the first time in his life.  No barbiturates, no antibiotics, nothing, nada, zilch.  Ladies and gentleman - meet the real Charlie Greenman!
