I hope all my clients know how much they light me up with the energy they bring 🤩 One of my doula clients surprised me with this bouquet on my way into the Cuidiú breastfeeding support group on Thursday. Over the course of that beautiful day I randomly met no less than four of the families I’ve supported in the past year. I was high as a kite by the end of the day! I cannot express how grateful I am for the joy my clients and this work bring into my life ✨Thank you 🙏🏽
