http://jerwillow.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
An eclectic, rambling journey through the ups and downs of life as a fish out of water- a birthkeeping, Flamekeeping Goddess worshipper who happens to be an obstetric nurse in the Bible Belt.

Wednesday, April 27, 2011. Now Awareness. It seems like a simple concept: being in the moment, experiencing life as it comes. In practice, awareness is exquisitely difficult, at least for me- in terms of the cesarean epidemic, it's excruciating. Let me illustrate. The CDC numbers are out for 2009. Well, I'm getting ...
