Clients falling from the sky

Apparently God thinks I am ready to handle some clients because they seem to be falling from the sky.

I have a late November/early December, a late December/early January, a request for one in March in a town an hour an a half from me (still up in the air about that one), a request for one in late March here in town and then one for July.

I am so excited.

Pretty soon I will be and finally get to use that smilie!

Heather

yeah doula-ing kind of takes up your whole life. I am hoping somewhere in there my sister in law will finally get pregnant and I will have one more towards the end of the year too, a new neice or nephew - Here's to hoping

That's awesome, and I think I'm going to start doing the Client Rain Dance.

Of course, if I'd actually start MARKETING myself, who knows what might happen...more on that in another thread...
