Smile... a simple act!!
A gesture that is truly contagious and infectious
in any culture.
One act of communication that's worth a
thousand words, in any language.
Smiling is a great way to make a lasting impression and positive impact in someone else's life. A Smile makes you stand out while helping your body to function better. Use a smile to improve your health, your stress level, and your attractiveness. Smiling is just one fun way to live happier…
**I will Smile.. for any reason, every reason and for no reason!!** ~me
Empowering women is my mission, through birth experiences to business experiences.
I am here as a resource, motivator, trainer and coach.
How can I help you?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(^_^) You know one lil act of smiling can improve a pregnant mom's day and lower stress chemicals to their baby. Encouraging happiness in new moms also improves overall health of the mother, partner and baby. Make a Momma's Day amazing with encouraging words and positive affirmations. Not to mention it will also make you feel fantastic and more available to her emotional needs.. To all my fellow doulas, bring love, joy and extra happiness to your clients it can be a challenging road.

**What are your tips for doulas trying to get their DONA certification?**
Find time every single day to work towards ur certificate,even if its reading articles related to bettering your skills or learning something new.

**Awesome Mom Poem!!!**
Before I was a Mom,
I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to a lullaby.
I never had to lock a fridge, toilet or cabinet
I didn't worry whether or not
my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom,
I had never been puked on.
Peed on. Chewed on.
Pooped on.
I had complete control of my mind
and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child
so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night
watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because
I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom,
I didn't know the feeling of
having my heart outside my body..
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond
between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the SMILES
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mom.....
Happy Mother's Day..all year round!!
From, Rebecca Davis
