I saw that I didn’t need hands, just heart. I tell people that often the presence of a doula alone can make a difference.  When I thought I was done, I became obsessed with making it simple and turned most of the page black. I rubbed and rubbed so that none of the page would show through. As a doula, I often work hard to make it look like nothing is going on too.
