I'm in training to become a midwife. I'm almost there and before I know it I'll be able to open my own practice, if that's what I desire.

I'm just being who I am and expressing myself as everyone else does.

I think a lot of people have lost respect for the individual, you know, the individual, the person who doesn't conform.

What opens my heart is when my son wakes me up in the morning, nudging me and saying, 'Mommy, mommy!'

I don't know if I'll ever accomplish most of my dreams - I have so many.

I'm a product of its [american] teaching, of its thinking, of its -isms, of its religion, of its education. I am conditioned, raised and developed by America; I am America. And as it changes, my thoughts also change. Because no matter what I believe, what the powers-that-be believe will affect me.

My work as a doula also extends all the way to the end of life. I sit at the bedsides of people who are passing on in hospices or nursing homes, for the people and families who want that kind of thing.
