Wow! I got a blog award! How cool is that??
{Important Note: the award is actually for my doula blog, but I still have the important miscarriage information on there; I wanted to participate in this celebration, so I moved the award information over here to my personal blog. As I add to the doula blog later, I will still want to keep the miscarriage information front-and-center, so the miscarriage information is (here).}
The rules of the award are as follows:
1.Link back to the person/s that gave you the award.
2.Award other bloggers the award-- 15 recently discovered bloggers.
3.Contact the bloggers that you have awarded to let them know that they have won.
4.Tell 7 things about yourself ( I suppose they should be lesser known facts to the blogworld!)

4. Seven things about myself:
--I am married to THE most A-Mazing man on the entire planet. Really.
--I am blessed to be called "mommy" by the sweetest, most darling children God ever thought up. Really.
Hmm... what else? As my oldest would say, "Enough sappy stuff, mom."
--I have four children. You will only see three of them in this lifetime.
--I am a birth educator, but there are people in the "natural birth" movement who do not like me, because I do not preach "natural or die" but rather, "what is safest and best in your unique situation."
To those I say "2 Corinthians 12:10."
--I think abortion should be completely outlawed and fully replaced with the "Baby Moses Law."
--I am blessed beyond measure (as revealed in facts 1 and 2 about myself!). I know God loves me for sure. Just take a peek at my blog and see!
--I am human. I get angry, frustrated, sad, selfish, jealous, hurt and depressed. I am too often an emotional mess. This blog isn't a phony bologney approach to Christianity or to the real world. It's a collection of introspection, joy, wonder and thanksgiving that God continually cultivates in my spirit.
