Last night I posted an emotional note in my social media journal (Facebook). "I'm getting so emotional thinking about our move to Oregon. I know it is for the best but seeing our three oldest grandchildren tonight had me in tears at the thought of leaving them. I am moving near to the two youngest grandchildren but it is so hard. My heart will be split between two homes."
We have moved so many times in our married life I've lost count. I cannot hardly believe that we are doing it (or thinking of doing it) again. More interesting to me has been my reluctance to do it. I have been resisting the change and that isn't really like me. You see, I have big news to share with everyone. Portland Oregon, the Rose City, has captured our heart since we began visiting our son there in 2009. Now I have an opportunity that is sent straight from Heaven above. I have accepted an apprentice position at Andaluz Waterbirth Center and will begin my training period November 1st. The fact is I have been the most hesitant about making this move than I have any other in my life and it may not even be a permanent move. I am thrilled with the opportunity to work with the midwives at Andaluz and I know this is the right thing to do but as I said last night it is really hard! Then, this morning, I listened to one of my favorite podcasts, Mormon Channel Daily. I often search the archives on the Mormon Channel when I am seeking comfort. When I searched the term "moving" this episode caught my attention: "The Importance of Moving Forward." I'm reading the blog of the author that is interviewed in the episode, Rebbie Brassfield. Her post is "Into the Current." Maybe the message can help you as much as it has helped me.

Why MusingsThe page I have called Musings is a blog of sorts. I invite you to read my Home page to learn the reasons I had for creating this ePortfolio and how it all started. In it you will find that this ePortfolio began as a learning tool for future students at the Midwives College of Utah. The ePortfolio will become a requirement beginning in the Fall 2016 semester. I also recommend it for former students still finishing their studies and looking for a way to develop their future practice's website, share with potential clients or potential preceptors, and as a very in depth resume of sorts. I invite you to read my musings during the creation of this ePortfolio in the hope that it may strengthen your devotion to your studies, build your determination to answer your call, and be encouraged by the sharing of my musings as I complete this task.
