Thinking...

Today I got the word that a lady I met late last year just had her baby with Jackie in Pasadena. She had a beautiful and amazing birth. I am so happy for her, and somewhat proud as well, as I am the one who informed her of her midwife options in the area.

I have been thinking a lot about that lately. There have been dozens of calls in the past, with women inquiring about my services, and I always inform them of their birth provider options, and I usually give them Jackie's contact information as a midwife. I know about 6 or 7 of them have gone on to use Jackie and have beautiful births, and it is times like these, when clients are few and far between, that I lean on this, and keep going.

I obviously would love to have a higher client load, but I look around and realize I am helping women anyway, and that is all that I set out to do, and with that, I am happy.
