And So It Begins...

As I embark on my Midwives Apprenticeship I am finally at peace with where the energy of the world has placed me for my education. Although nervous about the unknown I am anticipating a challenge unlike any I have ever encountered prior to this. I think about the sleep deprivation and the breaking points this will bring. I wonder what will be my first life changing challenge and how I will deal with said challenge? Will I be bright enough to grasp each concept and level enough to carry them out? Will I be connected enough to my intuition and the Spirit to follow its lead? I have great anticipation to be a part of the beauty that is birth and the love that surrounds this sacred rite of passage. I look forward to discovering the best and the worst of myself. I've heard that the path to becoming a Midwife does just that. In some ways I see it being as emotionally challenging as surrogacy. I am up for this challenge. I look forward to all I will learn and am grateful for those I will learn from. I'm truly blessed.
Becoming a Midwife is my hearts desire, what I am determined to be. I am meant to be here. now. following my dream.

Happy New Year

With a New Year comes new goals. I am looking forward to a fresh start this year. Many changes and advances are in store for my family and I. My heart is full of joy, I am thankful for all I have. I am thankful for my family, especially Mike who works day and night to support our family. God blessed me with a hard working talented husband who makes me happy, with children who are the light of my life and a Mother who lifts me up and loves me endlessly.
This year I will be throwing myself into Midwifery so I don't see a visit to Utah in the near future although Mike is planning one without me. I have placed all my ducks in a row by getting a live in nanny, placing Violet in a charter school...yes school... which she is enjoying. I'm glad she is having fun. She often comes home to tell me how she already knows what they learned that day. Yes, this makes me feel good that I kept her right on track. She is so bright in Math, I'm proud of my little girl. I've let go of several other responsibilities in order to focus and accomplish my goal of becoming a midwife in 3 or less years. Attending birth gives me a baby fix and so no need to get pregnant. Must focus and stay not pregnant.
So Happy New Year. :)

Go Mom Go!
