student. midwife.

i've been working as an assistant to a midwife.
the experience has been incredible.
it has touched me at the core of who i am.
this is important work.


the schedule is crazy. grueling. confining. demanding. inconvenient.
i wasn't sure i could handle the commitment.
the work is fulfilling. fun. rewarding. a miracle. defining.
it's what i am meant to do.

today i'm willing stop calling myself an assistant and begin referring to myself as a student midwife.
i've never been so sure about anything in my life.
i'm truly blessed that this is my calling and that these opportunities have all fallen into place.

instead of blogging i've been...

spending lots of time in the garden.
hosting friends and family.
working as an assistant to a midwife.
enjoying delicious brews on the brewhouse patio.
looking at the lake.
walking all around this hilly town.
attending bbq's.
sitting around campfires.
reading rumi.
waking up with the sun.
