What's it mean?

It took me a long time to come up with the name for this blog. Even now, the title is somewhat unclear. To me, there are two ways of reading it:

 Midwife My Life

By reading it exactly how it's written (which is the primary way I want it to be read), the word "midwife" is read as a verb. According to Merriam Webster, the definition is as follows:                                  

midwife

verb mid·wife          

  to assist in producing, bringing forth, or bringing about

If you look at this definition, the blog is about bringing forth my life - it's purpose, the journey itself, the stories. I feel like that's the main point of this blog, to chronicle my experiences. I believe that by sharing my story, others can be inspired (and maybe even learn something). Sharing our stories brings the world together and helps us relate to one another. This is something I feel is a big part of the work of a midwife.

 

The second way to look at the title is "Midwife: My Life". One day, when I can officially call myself a midwife, this will probably be more appropriate.

 

So for now, let's use midwife as a verb and allow this blog to assist with my personal growth on this path to becoming a midwife!
