Book Description
There is a tribe in Africa where, the first time a woman leaves home following the confinement period after giving birth, everyone she meets along the road greets her with a sacred song otherwise reserved for warriors returning from battle. She’s honored as having lived through a rite of passage that will forever mark her womanhood as abundant and powerful and blessed. She’s respected as a fully franchised member of the most ubiquitous and yet most extraordinary group of beings in our collective experience: mothers. Everything I Needed to Know, I Learned from a Six-Month-Old: Awakening to Unconditional Self Love in Motherhood is an Eat Pray Love for moms. It fuses memoir, spirituality and self-development into the unique perspective that babies are actually extraordinary spiritual teachers who are capable of showing their caregivers the way toward inspired living. Kuwana Haulsey imparts this deeper understanding of a universal truth of love, in which motherhood is explored as a means of waking up to her innate potential for personal transformation.

Children Are Our Greatest Teachers
When novelist Kuwana Haulsey heard the story of an African tribe that celebrates mothers with the songs of warriors, she was entranced. After a new mother leaves home for the first time after giving birth, everyone she meets along the road greets her with a sacred song otherwise reserved for those returning from battle. She’s honored as having lived through a rite of passage that will forever mark her as abundant and powerful and blessed.
Everything I Needed to Know I Learned from My Six-Month-Old fuses memoir, spirituality and self-development in a moving tribute to the lessons Kuwana’s infant son taught her. Kuwana Haulsey movingly explores motherhood as a means of waking up her own and her reader’s innate potential for personal transformation.About the Author
