This video can save your life, or that of someone you love.
If only doctors gave this video to their patients to watch. If only… Think of the money that could be saved. Think of the lives that can be saved. Watch this and let me know what you think.
I love Bruce Lipton and hope you do, too.
This is directly quoted from my blog for www.childbirthsolutions.com but I have modified it for this site, leaving out some of the ?rant? about childbirth and the way doctors use dogma to coerce women into being compliant patients when they go to the hospital to give birth. I prefer home birth and feel that is the safest way to have a baby. But I will spare you the whole post about that. My point today is that much of what…

Is self publishing an option?
I used one of the new hybrid publishers to have my book published. Wheatmark was very easy to work with, not expensive, and they were quick. It was wonderful not to have to wait a year or more to be published. This was a big factor because it took me three years to finish my book. Having never written a full book before it took me a while to organize all the information I gleaned from interviewing women all over…

50 years ago today I married
Today is a bit poignant and even sad though my memory of that day 50 years ago is mostly of ecstatic happiness. I was 19 years old. So was my young husband. He would not want me to write about him, so I will stick to speaking of myself since we are now divorced for 7 years. 50 years ago today we married in a huge wedding ceremony at Metropolitan Memorial Methodist Church in Washington DC. A large church, the…

Frustrating yet heartening
I have spent literally hours and hours on the phone with a lending organization this week. If I had had any idea what a lot of time would be wasted I might have invested in earphones. When shopping for a mortgage lender to help buy a building you don’t think in terms of being sold later to another company. But that is exactly what happened to me. The new company took over the mortgage on November 1 2010. On December…

Easter
Easter is traditionally a time for our family to gather together and enjoy each other. Those wish to go to church do so early. The others find a spiritual quality in the closeness of our family. While the children and teenagers mostly just enjoy the food and the Easter candy and hunting for eggs among to the bushes and flowers in the yard. This year the weather forecast worried me so much that I did not put up the necessary…

Are we green yet? What exactly does that mean?
I loved this article. http://recycledpromos.wordpress.com/2011/04/05/we-didnt-have-the-green-thing-in-my-day/#comment-11 Too bad it is anonymous. The author writes of a time during which I grew up. She points out that life itself was “green” at that time. When a thunder storm was coming (we knew because we heard the thunder in the distance, not because of weather alerts on TV) I was sent inside to help shut all the windows. The windows were all wide open because we did not have air conditioning. We cooled…

Aging, I am for it!!!
Recently I was in a Facebook discussion with some young women about aging.? It made me think of an answer for all of them. “Oh …You girls…..You are ALL so young.” and I continued with much of what I have written here, though I have embellished it for you. I am 69….still have most of my natural hair color, though in the last couple of years it seems to be shot with silver all through my hair, rather than just…

The Case for Home Birth
A home birth is the best place for a calm birth. In one?s own home that sense of being in a foreign place is simply not a problem.? After all, this is ?home?.? In a hospital there are different smells, different sounds, and a large number of strangers all intent on their own agenda, not putting the pregnant woman first.? There are noises and loudspeakers and pinging machines and germs in the air and on every single surface. Those in…

Mothers and Daughters
I recently found myself in a discussion with several women about how to treat our grown daughters. One of the women complained that her daughter was manipulative. This made me pause to think about how I felt about this. That seems to me to be a word that many people use about parents or children along with the phrase ‘passive- aggressive’. So here are some of my thoughts on this emotional issue. First of all, ALL CHILDREN ARE MANIPULATIVE!!! (That…

Interruption of service
Interruption of service When the Internet is down everything comes to a halt. At first it is immensely frustrating, but finally when one realizes that there is absolutely nothing to do about it, peace descends. There is wonderful peace in silence.? That sound of silence that happens when the electricity stops it?s background hum.? All of a sudden, birds are chirping, crickets making their distinctive cricket music and the breeze seems to be part of the orchestra because it whips…

Drinking diet soda is not a wise option
I read an article about a new study that says daily drinking of diet soda may lead to higher risk of stroke or heart attack. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41479869/ns/health-diet_and_nutrition/ I was surprised to see some comments on Facebook about this article that showed surprise. ?The surprise came from the claim that caramel coloring might be part of the problem. ?I concur. ?But any drink called diet is dangerous. ?There is just too much information suggesting that artificial sweeteners are neurotoxins. ?It is not…

Drug Side Effects, Do You Know Them?
The number of people who are killed each year due to FDA approved drugs is in debate. ?Some say 100,000. Some say many more than that. ?These are not mistakes, wrong medicine or overdoses. ?These are simply bad reactions to drugs prescribed by physicians. People are speaking out about this yet nothing is done. ?Gwen Olsen wrote a book called Confessions of ?Drug Pusher?http://amzn.to/elcmKa which documents this terrible problem. Yet people are still taking drugs because their doctor tells them…

Misleading headlines
The Daily Progress, the newspaper for Charlottesville VA, ?shows a front page headline that reads “Flu covers all of Va.” ?Something about that seemed strange to me, because I have heard no one complaining about the flu. ?On reading the article it became clear that there is not much flu in Virginia, but they wanted to be sure people realized that they could still have a flu shot. According to health officials “flu-like illness is at low levels across the…

What does it all mean?
Republican District 20 Chairman Anthony Miller of Arizona, who resigned puzzles me. Seems an odd move. Made me suspicious of what other motives he might have had. Perhaps he was going to resign anyway and used that parting shot to do some damage to the Tea Party. Otherwise I am surprised at his lack of guts. Even Ambassadors to benign countries get death threats all the time. Bombs are found under cars. They travel with a support vehicle never alone….
