I don't like what I see.

I am so sick and tired of watching women be assaulted and practically raped while birthing. There is only so much I can do and it just isn't enough. I have four births left this year and I am looking forward to being done for a while and getting a break. I don't know how much longer I can watch what goes on without going crazy. Not that going crazy will help anything either. People don't listen to crazy people. But people don't listen to me anyhow...no matter if I speak gently or scream at the top of my lungs.

What I see doctors doing makes me sick.

Which is *exactly* why you are doing what you are doing. And doing it well. Going crazy won't help, but having the goals that you do WILL.

Once your practice is going, and you have massive advertising budgets to inform more people, have the classes that they need to be de-programmed to stop thinking that birth is some invasive medical procedure, you'll have realized your goal.

But, remember, you *are* realizing your goal -- but just slowly. Sometimes, people have a difficult time believing just one 'consultant' when the Health Care and Insurance industries are telling them something different.

You are gifted (or, possibly cursed) with the intelligence, motivation, and desire to make a difference. And you will.
