When I grow up…there will be disappoinments
Sigh…
Lately, I’ve been following my gut a lot more. And for some reason, around 1:30AM Sunday morning, she was telling me to send an email to the coordinator of the doula fellowship program I was accepted into. The trainings starts at the end of this month and I wanted to check-in.
Once again my gut knew something just wasn’t right.
I received an email response saying that there are more than a few changes going on within the program. The State of New Jersey recently created a policy that requires ALL participants to live in the Hudson County New Jersey area and to not have full time employment outside of the home. Additionally, the training program went from taking place every Friday for two months to every Friday for six months.
SIGH…
Every single one of the new requirements make me ineligible now!!! Who the hell can qualify, New Jersey housewives?!
ARRRRRRGH!
Though I immediately started applying for other programs, it sucks to feel like I’m building momentum and then get some bullsh*t-a**, obstacle creating news. AND it sucks even more to be low on funds and have a fellowship that covered the ENTIRE cost of doula training snatched away.
Becoming a doula is one part of my Project 9 to 5 Freedom, so I won’t let this fiasco get in my way. But I won’t lie…it has definitely taken some wind out of my sails. :’(
