Personal notes: While I have continued to read professional publications, attend workshops and maintain an active presence in the field of birth and midwifery, for one and half years I did not attend births in order to give my full attention to my growing family. Now that my children are older, I can again, with my husband's support and blessing, resume my calling as a labor support provider/doula. My service is called "Blissful" after seeing my image in a birthing video as I supported a laboring woman. For an extended period I carried her entire weight, encouraged her and assisted her in position changes--the entire time I smiled, feeling blissful while working (almost) as hard as the glowing, birthing mother!
