My first post…sigh. We leave for Bali in 12 days. My “to-do” list gets shorter and shorter, I’ve said my first few “see you in 3 months” and I have everything on my packing list. Will I ever be truly ready? Nah. This is by far the biggest adventure I have ever been on, and I simply can’t be ready! Saying that would mean that I had some idea of what to expect. Here is what I know: I will learn so much about midwifery, myself, the world and my love. I will work hard. I will play hard. I will soak up everything I can. I will be present. I am so honored to go and help these mama’s and baby’s. I will come back a changed person. I will be joyful to come home to my life.
