I Did It!!!

As you might know, from my previous post, I've been waiting to get the official stamp of approval on my doula certification.  A couple days ago I received a voice mail from DONA (Doulas of North America--the premier doula organization) saying they wanted to talk to me about my application.  Uh-oh, I thought...I wonder what I did wrong...?  Nervously I dialed the phone to call them back and find out...

Well, I just got off the phone with DONA and the Canadian rep who'd reviewed my application informed me that I am officially certified as a Birth Doula with DONA International!  (She had only called the other day to tell me herself--I hadn't done anything wrong!)  She said my references were "raving;" my certification packet was "wonderfully put together and organized," and that she wanted to steal one of my ideas from my resource list. :)

Yippee--I am so relieved!!!  I did it!!!
