Still Doula ing!

Welcome moms and dads! 
I promise I will try to blog at least once a month.  Life is soooo busy, as you all know, raising children.
I have five wonderful children that the Lord has entrusted me with.  Josh is now 22 and headed to graduation day from ITTech after taking a CAD.  Nicholle, 20, is at Oswego in her junior year, studying elementary and special ed.  Jenna, 16 a senior, is sickenly good at every sport and wants to be a gym/fitness teacher.  Cienna, 12 is starting her 7th grade and is just plain ahead of the game when it comes to maturity. Jordan,, our sweet Jordan, 10, is always smiling and making us laugh...wants to be an FBI agent.  (Thats him up there with our dog, Oreo...can you imagine that sweet face working for FBI?!!)
Myself, I am busy in the administrative role at Doulas of CNY, another blessing.  Through the years, God has worked in so many ways in our agency.  Taking direction from HIM is not always easy, but I always see the rewards of obedience.
I began doula-ing in 2000, taking the training, then wondering how I was going to change my lifestyle as a stay at home mom and day care provider.  I had KIDS at my house, and they were not mine!
My grandmother then became terminally ill and I took care of her, ran the house, daycare and put my doula career on hold for 6 months.
The day after gram died, I literally had my first call~
10 years later.. I am still doula-ing and lovin' it!
