Celbrate Midwifery!

Yet another type of therapy...PARTY therapy! :>)

Our very capable chauffeur, Steve.

Elegant settings with beautiful menus

My sistas XO

This triffle was beyond delicious!

Ring of the doorbell, bunch of beautiful roses, chauffeur, red carpet to the "limo", champagne, hors d'oeuvres, a crown, linen, china, crystal, beautiful menu, amazing meal, sweet time with friends, over-the-top generous gift...my retirement celebration. How I love my midwife sisters (and their partners :>) I am such a blessed woman! Can't even describe my gratefulness...XOXOXO The path of midwifery has truly been an amazing one. What a gift to be able to get to know families, be with them as they welcome their new family members and then to watch those babies grow. And so blessed to have worked with so many dedicated healthcare professionals. Can't count the number of delightful spirits who have walked with me on this path! Though I will truly miss midwifery on a daily basis, imagine there will be other "midwifing" to do in the future...

Now on to my visit with the "interventional radiologist" tomorrow. Will be interesting to see what he can add to the pool of treatment options...bet it won't be nearly as much fun as PARTY therapy!!

  2. Looks amazing! How sweet of the girls to do that! So happy to hear you are almost done with chemo. Good luck with your radiology appt. Perhaps a trip to the Bahamas for some sailing, hiking, rum drinks should be in your future.... :)
