Blogging is a completely new endevor for me.  The undying urge/need to get some of the thoughts out of my brain and into written form is compelling, and my house is in utter chaos at the moment.  Since it is harder to loose a desktop computer than a notebook, blogging seems like a great option.  ;)

In my thirties, mother to two, spouse to a great man, daugther to an aging mother and a father who passed away almost two years ago, I find that exploring my own interests is more challenging that I ever would have guessed.  Right now, I substitute in Aquatics classes and teach Childbirth Education.  My Birth Doula work is on hold, frankly until I feel like doing it again.  It is fantastic to be at a birth, but the hours (obviously) are unpredictable and it can be very draining, emotionally and physically.  It has been over six months though, so it won't be long before I do at least a birth here and there again.

I will probably come back and update this, but in case I don't, I am one of those people who has been blessed with many, many "once in a lifetime" opportunities, most of which I jumped right into.  I know that there is a path before me, but I rarely see where it will lead me, as it is quite winding and sometimes a bit shadowy.  In other words, don't be surprised, anything is possible. ;)
