So yesterday, I was trudging home in the very hot and humid Maryland summer. I had about a mile and a half walk, and it was less than pleasant. (And less than safe, as there were no sidewalks in the area I was traversing.) So out of the blue, an ANGEL (ok, well, a nice lady), stopped and said, "Hey there, would you like a ride?" Eternally gratefully, I climbed into the car and thanked her profusely. (Please, no lectures on hitchhiking - she looked super safe, it was daytime, she was female and I was desperately hot. Just don't tell my mother. :) ) So we're talking and she asks me what I do for a living. "I'm a doula and lactation educator", I say. "A doula???? That is so cool!! I was a La Leche League leader for many years when my babies were young." Seriously, people. It's like we find each other with some sort of secret signal!!!! Talk about wonderful divine providence. Just thought everyone would get a kick out of the story. -Alison *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
