If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck - it's a chicken.

BioOn August 7th 2003, Tempest stormed in. On November 1st 2005, Jericho fell.
On October 3rd 2006 Xan gave me light with an unassisted VBAC.
On June 2nd 2011 Zephyra blew me away with a fast and furious two hour birth.
You can read their birth stories here:
Tempest (home birth transfer to birth center, 44 hours, 40.5 weeks)
Jericho [part one of three begins there] (unnecessary cesarean, child death, 2.5 hours, 34 weeks)
Xan (unassisted home waterbirth, VBAC, 3 hours, 43 weeks)
Zephyra (home waterbirth, VBAC, <2 hours, 41.5 weeks)
These are my selves; the facets of my past, present, and dreams of my future.
I am a survivor of child abuse; physical, emotional, spiritual and sexual. I suffered with depression most of my life. It took more than a decade of unsuccessful medication, therapy and disappointment to realize I what I really needed. I am healing.
I have brought new life forward and felt the weight of death.
Chat rooms and forums introduced me to some of the most valuable friends I could ask for, a support circle that helped me through my roughest time, and my husband; my soul mate, and confidant. My children made me complete.
I am mother, strong, half-full, divine, old - sometimes.
vain, ubiquitous, stubborn, shy and frank.
I think I'm so funny, oh-so-smart and that I take pretty pictures.
I make the tabloids without leaving my house.
I am fluent in sarcasm and simple Klingon.
I believe every trauma teaches us strength.
That we all have a soul mate, or two.
There is no such thing as ugly, or evil.
That faith can heal, wherever you can find it.
Every life has a purpose.
Those who are born mothers, will be someday.
The morning glory that blooms for an hour
Differs not at heart
From the giant pine that lives for a thousand years.
