About Me
- Nurturing mummy
- Victoria, Australia
- Single mummy, who believes we should all strive to do our best in educating ourselves in choices we make on our childrens behalfs! Worried about how much the Western society are seperating themselves from what it is to be human. Ignoring what it is to be natural and trusting ourselves, and replacing it with our inventions and thinking we can outsmart nature. This is not the future I want for my children, Annabelle 3yrs and Lucy 1yr. Most of all Im passionate to get back to basics with pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding.

Wish more people like Miranda were around. Showing young girls what boobs are for. Maybe then they would grow to see the normality of breastfeeding

When I believe in something Im passionate about it. I may tread on toes and Im most likely going to have many that hate/dislike me or that disagree with me. But if I get through to just one person, just as somebody got through to me, then it's all worth it.
We all have different beliefs and that's what being human is all about. I once had no stance on most of what Im passionate about today. I opened my ears and eyes and listened to something that challeneged my beliefs, low and behold I learnt things and continue to be proven wrong and learn more. It's important to admit faults and to embrace them.
So every time somebody shuts me out and pushes me away for simply challenging their beliefs, I remember one of my favorite quotes:)
"We cannot withhold facts for fear of offending because the importance of the information outweighs people's right to not be challenged in their beliefs."- Maddy Reid

It wont leave my head!
I just cant shake it! It wont leave my mind, that footage is forever etched into my mind and my heart!
Please dont hold back! Speak up, you can be kind if you like either way just speak up! It's up to us to make this illigal! As long as it's legal many will think it's ok.
Call me hippy, call me pushy, call me judgmental, I dont care! As long as you hear me! Because for some reason we ignore their cries:(
Just needed to get that out. Im so down until I write it down and pray somebody from here will help at least ONE baby from such unnesessary torture.
You may find my posts a little much, but this is my safe place. Where I can try my hardest to process things that I find mind blowing!

"Im holding my baby" The rate of cesarean is to high and the reasons are not good enough!
Birthing your baby is a process every human NEEDS to go through.........
I question the reasons. This surgical procedure should only be allowed in TRUE life or death cases. Sad thing is, we have lost touch with ourseleves and what we are capable of and given our trust to medical teams.....
After studying birth, the history, reasons for pain and all the rest. Im amazed births are not at home and only in rare cases would it be in a hospital.

Mistake.
I have made so many. This time I have hurt someone. I use this blog to say things that I cant say in real life......passion, frustration, anger, happiness, every emotion that gets the better of me.
Im a passionate person and very emotional!
Thing is I need to learn where that fine line between passion and pushy is.
I wanted to give all my info and I wanted to change her mind and make her see what I see.
Thing is with passion needs to come compassion and respect. Who knows that friendship may be forever over. But with its ending came learning. To respect and TRY, no matter how different, to see that persons point.
I have been called many things this past week that made me second guess myself and my ways. Thing is I keep coming to the same conclusion......Im happy with me and the woman Im becoming. I have SO many lessons to learn, tears to cry, people to love and loose, friendships to make and break and MISTAKES to make. But at least I can admit when Im wrong and learn:)
I still believe in my ways and what have learnt and continue to learn but it's to important to have respect for others and their 'choice', I can only hope that others respect mine.
Not just EXPECT respect but earn it.
We are all different but just as my desperation for others to 'see the light' that I see, they have their own light that they want me to see.
Sorry about the big emotional post but as I said you will get all my emotions on this blog, good and bad;)
