Becca's Ramblings About Career

I'm currently reading Diary of a Midwife. It's written by Juliana van Olphen-Fehr. I'm enjoying her philosophy and her candid way of writing. The book has really made me think about what seems normal in births these days vs. what is really best for the baby and the mother.

I've put my desired career on the back burner for now because I am staying home w/ the children and homeschooling them. IN Juliana's book she says she wants to encourage women that they can have a family & do their career. I'll have to go back and find the exact quote, but she stated that it's always sad to see a woman sacrifice her family for her career or a woman sacrifice her career for her family... she says there can be a balance.

That really got me thinking about my desired career... my life. I definitely sacrifice MY desires for my family, but I do think that is best for now. I plan to take baby steps to further my education so when the time comes I can go into midwifery school and career full on.
