Wow, thanks for the heads up Robyn.  I didn't realize  using that in my 
signature would be a problem.  So far noone has said  anything....does anyone have 
a problem with me identifying myself as an  IBCLC-student?  If so, please let 
me know and I will refrain from the  usage.  I am just so proud to be amongst 
my "heroes, and my mentors" that  using it just seemed "right".  I could be 
wrong.  
 
Thank you for the encouraging words about LLL  leadership.  I was truly 
devastated when 5 yrs ago, I was denied, because I  worked outside the home (out of 
necessity).  Without a lot of detail, I am  very happy to be given a second 
opportunity with this baby.  My LLL has  jumped through tons of hoops trying to 
get me accepted, to the point of crying  when told that I was still denied.  
She knows how dedicated I am, and what  a service I would offer to my 
community.  Right now, there is no LLL in my  county.  It is a small and poor county 
and WIC is all for my getting my  LLL.  They are even wanting to write letters 
in my support.  I am  hopeful it will go through.  I do admit I felt 
blackballed, but hearing  your story really helped to realize, it isn't just "Me".  
 
Until then, I continue to learn EVERY DAY from this wonderful  group.  Thanks 
everyone for your help and your support even when I have a  "dumb" question.
