Life as an aspiring midwife

Sometimes I feel discouraged beacause I feel like no one really wants to know the truth about birth and trust their bodies...but then it seems like God is reassuring me that I am doing what is his will. Today, I talked with a lady who was very excited to know about midwifery and didn't know that it was available to her. I gave her my number and told her that I could get her some resources that would allow her to be able to find the help and support she is looking for. It is nice to know that there are people who need us, all it took was letting her know that it was available...I wonder how often people do not get a midwife because they just do not know how to find one? I want to make it my mission to really get out the word to people and let them know ALL of their alternatives for birthing.
Ohhh, also another neat story of affirmation for me. Today, at the store, I was talking to a customer about health and trust and (as usual, lol) I told him about me attending AAMI to becoem a midwife. It turns out that his mother was a midwife and has been trying to get rid of her library of books and he said that he was going to talk to her and let me know if she is still looking for someone to take her library!!!! I am trying not to get too, excited, because it is really a long shot, but maybe this could work out!!
