I get happy very easily and very often.

My sister and the baby she was carrying died in the United States of America. They died in the country that spends more money on pregnancy and birth technology than any other country in this world.

I learned that a healthy society is made up of loving, trusting individuals, and that these individuals in turn protect their environment, become stewards of our land, air and water, and they make peace, rather than war.

In a nutshell, I am a mom, a grandma, and a midwife.

I get happy very easily and very often.

My sister had health insurance; she should have been warned by her doctors that she was at risk. But she was a minority. The doctors took little interest in her as an individual, and she fell through the cracks. And died.

Like my sister, 981 women die every day on Earth from pregnancy and birth-related complications.
