Oxytocin rocks the world.

The number of maternal deaths is significantly understated because of a lack of effective data collection both in the US and around the world.

I get crazy upset when I feel mothers or babies are not getting the loving care they need.

Oxytocin is the hormone of love. We share it when we have a good conversation, we share it when we make love, and when we hug, and BIRTH is the biggest brightest time of rich oxytocin-sharing.

The amazing heroic women in labor, they are the truest inspiration, and when they push their babies into the light... I am astonished every time.

I had amazing midwives when I first became a teen-aged mom, and each of the five times I gave birth.

I cry when I work in the garden, because the Sun, the rain, the wind and the Earth all work together to make us food and flowers. It just blows me away.
