I remember when I first got the news that Serena was expecting. A sonogram photo popped up on my cell phone screen….one of my most special birthday gifts. Serena is going to be a mom.
My first thought upon reflection of the news was Sauti – Serena’s mother. There is a new Sun coming up over an ocean, a new little baby to be rocked by a cosmic mother. He looks like our ancestors; those that have walked in this place before us. New energy is starting to come in from radial directions now. This energy is coming from the source of all that is, that is everywhere, all that ever will be. It is the center of the center. This energy is coming from the future and our new orientation point that our ancestors gave us. This energy is coming from everywhere, and it is washing over us. It is so delicate and so refined that there is no way that I could describe this energy properly other than new life…a blessing manifest. We can only feel it. Be in it - in our hearts right here and right now. And now, he is here.
Creation takes many steps before it arrives in a physical dimension. When we start to create something, we have to imagine it first, and manifesting in spirit is one half of the process. It is also the part we quickly over look, because we can’t see it with our eyes. But Sauti saw it in Serena, and Serena believed with faith that it would one day be. We receive energy from a reflection of something bigger than ourselves – this is the act of creation. This is a new Sun and with it will come the ability to manifest with pure light and not just a reflection of it. This new energy will manifest and reflect how our hearts relate to our world. The Ancestors say we are part of this manifesting process, because we have Suns inside of us. So the new Sun that is being born on the outside, the one that spiritual people and angels speak about in their prophecies, is also a new Sun that is being born in us. This is what God does.
God manifests in infinite variety, and it is His pleasure to give us boundless gifts of love and life. Even in a crowd of sorry, he can bring us joy…a new arrival that bursts into our hearts with the speed of galaxies, suns and worlds rushing toward the center of the universe to collide in a big bang of creation that is in God’s likeness…God’s self portrait. Welcome to the world baby Jordan Oladele Ince. You're finally here, we've been waiting for you :-)

FIRST BITCHES
DAMN, DAMN, DAMN! I wanted to be first! I was too busy looking at the baby pics! Congrats Serena! He's gorgeous! When did he arrive???
Welcome to the world Baby Jordan! You couldn't be born on a better day. Now I have TWO reasons to love Augst 5th..Sophia & Jordan..
As you can see by Annamaria's response Stef, baby Jordan and Annamaria's baby girl Sophia share the same birthday :) How awesome is that?! :)
Oh wow! That's amazing! That must be a special day for the babies!
Aww, I'm so happy for you all - I think I might even shed a tear!
Brooke...once again, this was beautifully written. I vote Brooke for the Godmother! LOL!
Congrats Mama Serena and welcome baby Jordan! Wow, Sophia and Jordan born on the same day. I think Anna was secretly willing that to happen :)
Brooke, blog expertly written as usual. You are a special friend to so many on this blog and your love for them all is apparent in your writing. Loved it.
Congrats Serena and welcome to baby Jordan! I love his name and that he and Sophia have the same birthday! How special! Many blessings to you and your new addition, he's adorable!
Congratulations Serena!
Welcome baby Jordan, little prince :) He looks so peaceful, and I'd expect nothing less as a child of such a positive spirit. I wish you nothing but blessings on this new journey you both are about to embark on. Your mother would be so proud and she was right, you're going to be a wondeful mother. Much love.
Congrats Serena on your new baby boy! He's beautiful! Love and blessings to you both!
@Cable Guy I was secretly wishing that he was born on August 5th... The funny part was we had the same due date also... :)
So when I got the text that he was here I got chills. He's partially mine too! LOL
Sophia already loves baby Jordan. She said Hi Baby to his picture & gave him a kiss and told him night night.
I can see Anna and Serena planning the arranged marriage now :)
I'm sorry u think Sophia's arranged marriage has NOT been planned???? LMAO...
Congrats!! Another Leo in the world is always a good thing!!
I bet it HAS been Annamaria!LOL!
I can't believe I've been following Brooke's blog long enough to see 2 babies born from our little blog family!
Speaking of, where has Rameer been?
Watch, he'll pop up tomorrow and be first :) lol!
Everytime I look at Jordan's pics I wanna squeeze him! LOL
Serena got that baby in a polo romper already? I love it! Fashion baby.
I'm so happy for all the new mothers in my life. Everyone seems so happy and bursting full of joy over their new additions. It's wonderful to witness.
And Taser Momma, you know Serena would not want you cussin' when you're up first and the subject is about her :-)
This was wonderfully written, Brooke. You sure can turn a phrase. A beautiful read.
He is gorgeous.Congratulations Serena.
Thanks Yolanda...and everyone :) My heart was feeling it today, I'm so happy for Serena and baby Jordan :)
Hi everyone! Sorry I'm so late! Busy day lol! Brooke this is so beautiful! Mom is shining down! Jordan is amazing! Even more amazing that he was born on Iye's grandmother's birthday (Mama Ince) ase to her. Her maiden name was Jordan and it came to him in a dream to name our son after her.
I always loved the name and had thought about it too! Perfect name!
Oladele comes from Nigeria and is Yoruba. It means wealth and honor arrives at home :)
Everyone is overjoyed! Daddy over here loves "guy time already" and I love gazing into Jordan's eyes! I feel very special having both Iye and Jordan in my life! My two men.
Thank you everyone again! Ms. Brooke you outdid yourself! I love you! Your writing comes from the heart!
Stay tuned for Jordan updates!
So happy for you Serena. We've known each other over 20 years now (I know. TMI).
I know you are going to be the best mom.
If you need anything. ANYTHING. You know how to reach me. ANYTIME (except 3AM. You have to feel the pain to join the clan).
Love ya.
