I'm a darned good listener.
I don't take vacations.
I don't think we spend enough time in reflection and introspection. We don't know who we are as individuals in this culture any more.
Having worked as a labor and delivery nurse...I've seen ultrasounds...you know that those babies are real.
I grew up in a family of secrets; there was a lot of pathology in the family.
You shouldn't be ashamed of your pain. You have the right to have your pain treated.
