Surrounded in your Purpose

Over the weekend I headed down to Louisiana for a Doula Seminar. I was excited about being around other woman that believed in home birthing because I feel very alone in it in my everyday. I have been looking forward to it for months.

I got there and literally could not wait for the next day to be in it. I got up early and started preparing. I smiled the whole time getting ready. I decided to just take the bus. I got outside and it was pulling up. The directions I had got from google maps said I had to ride two but the second bus was right here. I asked the driver, she said I would have to ride to end and she would turnaround and could drop me right there. She said come on. As I road through the city and watched the interactions on the bus they even made me smile. Everybody talked like family.

I finally made it to my stop, but I was lost. The gps was saying I was here but I didn't see it. I walked into the store that was on the corner and asked the cashier and the customer that was standing in there. If they recognized the address. They said I was in the right place and just had to walk toward the lake. As I walked out the woman said let her ask her husband and walked out with me. She said they would just take me. I told her they did not have to it was saying I was in the right area.

As she was opening the door. A car was pulling up, and before they said anything I told the woman they were going where I was going. They pulled up and asked about the address I was looking for. I laughed and asked could I ride over with them. They were from Canada. We rode around looking for a few minutes. Shaundel (maybe spelled wrong) seen a cop and said she would ask him. She walked over and asked and we got pointed in the right direction. We were in the right place the whole time. It was just further back off the road.

As we pulled up we were the first ones there. We all laughed about how we knew, we were all going to the same place. Jennifer said Gods timing. I laughed because as soon as I walked out they pulled up. We talked about what we wanted to learn. The doors opened, and before I knew it. The place was filled with women, partners, and children. All working toward the same thing. Bringing life into the world the best way we could. I felt I had waited my whole life for this. To be surrounded by people that believed like you did that the original way is not only possible but for the best.
