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

I came to the conclusion that bringing Humans to earth with an intact ability to LOVE is essential if we are to survive as a species.

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

Every baby's first breath on Earth could be one of peace and love. Every mother should be healthy and strong. Every birth could be safe and loving. But our world is not there yet

I sing, I clean house, I write poetry. I cry. And I tell everyone I can, "I Believe in YOU."

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.

I love to receive babies into this world, so crawling around on my knees in the birth room is my best place, and most often you can still find me there.
