Hi all!
I was on the fence about posting this since I'm not one to brag, but I just had to share my good news. I am featured in the July 2011 issue (on newsstands now) of O: The Oprah Magazine for my work as a volunteer birth doula on page 34. I'm so excited and honored to be profiled. Thank you so much to everyone here on AD for all of your support and encouragement. I don't post all that often, but I read almost every thread on these boards and am constantly learning as I strive to be a better doula and Ob/Gyn someday.
Allie

Sharing your good news so your fellow doulas can celebrate with you isn't bragging. Or, if it is, bragging isn't a bad thing! Congratulations.

WOW That's great!

Allie, can you let me know either way (here or PM) if you're ok with us posting the link on the Alldoulas Facebook page, letting people know that you're a part of Alldoulas, when the link is up? Thanks!

Hey congrats Allie! Fantastic for you, fantastic for doulas and fantastic for women in general! :dancing

Ps: the first thing I noticed (before I even read any of the article) was your gorgeous birth necklace - I remember when we were chatting about ways to commemorate the births we attend and you thought pink and blue beads would be great - well they are!)
