Biography: Mani Canaday

 A life in flux. It seems that my life, on every imaginable frontier, is in a state of movement and change. I feel as though the Universe tossed me into a martini shaker and here we go! Shake, rattle, and roll! It is both frightening and exhilarating, after a long period of stagnancy. After three years as a student midwife, I will be testing in August, and then opening a practice and doing what I have dreamed of doing with my life for so long. After fourteen years of marriage, I am in the process of separating from my husband. Last week we moved out of our house. I am couch surfing at his apartment until mid-August, when I will be moving into my own space, co-housing with one of my best friends. Next week, we will tell our three children... I am thirty-one years old, and I feel as though my life is just beginning. Or maybe it is just that for the first time ever, I am truly laying claim to that life, and owning it all, for better or worse. My lesson through it all is trust. I am learning to trust myself to be smart and competent, my loved ones to be there for me when I need their support, and the Universe to put me exactly where I need to be at any given time. I trust that my life has purpose, and that nothing is an accident. I trust in goodness. I trust in love. I trust life.
