I was very excited to be attending and not at all sure what to expect. The class consists of 4 students, two main instructors, and visiting doulas and a marketing fela (who will be posting this) (thank you). The instructors and the visiting Doula all seem to have this brightness to them when they talk about their experiences as a doula. They seem happy to be teaching and empowering women. Its been a long time for me personally to be around women who empower each other. Most of the last ten years I have been surrounded by people in competition and employers who say the respect employees and rarely do. Its kind of like reaching an oasis after walking in the desert. I hope that its for real. I hope because I feel like I am supposed to be here and cannot put the reason into concrete words yet. How cool is that! So much info to process. I saw my first stuffed placenta and vivid discussion about blood, bleeding and cramping and I think I have bad menstrual cramps! I did get a little queasy. More tomorrow.
