Morn-nin

well, i guess it's not really morning, but ya know. so michael was gone all day yesterday skiing with our youth. he got home in time to give kassidy her bath and then watch some tv with me and then fall asleep. kassidy and i went to the chiropractor, came home, ate some lunch, napped, and during the evening i worked on her party invitations and let her paint. she had a blast. she loves to paint and write. i'm hoping she has an artistic streak.

i really don't have a lot to write about, but i'm trying to get back in the habit of writing, so anything is something.

i'm really excited about my doula work. i'm not doing anything just yet as far as clients go, but i'm learning a lot about myself and the talents god has given me. he's teaching me how valuable they are to even my life as it is right now. plus, other people are semi-involved. i was talking to a lady at our church sunday night and she mentioned it and then another lady started in the convo as well giving me names and both of them were excited about it. it was really encouraging to have other people supportive and excited about what i'm able to give. i know ya'll are supportive as well, it's just different to see it on someone, where i can't see ya'll. i truly am thankful for your support and interest in it. thank you. oh, since some of you are more talented in the computer/design/art thing i was wondering if anyone could help me out with some cards/posters. i see so many pregnant women that i want to talk to, but have no card to give them. also, i have no poster to hang at the health office, midwife clinic, crisis center. i don't make the contacts. it's odd. i'm not the outgoing one to walk up to a stranger and start a convo, but i would a pregnant woman. i surprise myself with my desire to do it. but anyway, i'd like something to do with birth, obviously, but i don't know how to incorporate a picture onto a card and all the wording on top of it and where to order from etc. i anyone wanted to take it and run with it, hint, hint, that would be fine. i totally wouldn't care. but don't feel like you have to, i'm simply asking for some help. any pointers would be welcome, too.

i didn't get to go to my meeting last night b/c michael wasn't here to keep kassidy and jack. we're going on wednesday morning. it's nice that there are three meeting times to choose from. i hope i've lost and stayed at 4 lbs. i would be happy with that. i'm really starting to see the eating to live philosophy more real in my life. in the past i've been so focused on what i couldn't have, this time i'm not even thinking about food most of the time. it's really a blessing and truly god's work in my life, b/c i've tried to change, but never could do it on my own. now, he's the one doing it and i'm just pliable.

until next time. . .
