Has anyone picked up on the idea of the great slogan "Push for birth
reform" (I think it was from Joy??) It would make a great bumper sticker -
maybe sell them in conjunction with the Travelling Midwife talks - fund
raiser?? Anyone like to pick it up and run with it? I've got a contact for
printing (in WA) if someone else can organise distribution. I also have
some bumper stickers which say "Embrace new life with a Millennium Midwife"
with an original sketch of a baby being held out in two hands (blue and
silver on white)... anyone like one or more? They're $2.50. Regards, Lois

Hi all fellow listers,
"The Travelling Midwife"and her beautiful family stopped off here at Geelong
yesterday as part of the "Birth Matters Tour".
Vicki was just awesome last night in her declaration that YES BIRTH
MATTERS!!!
Truly an advocate for women and birth and an amazing activist. Her display
of
strength and courage and outright dogged determination to make a difference
and to call to others to join with her to effect change is powerful stuff!!!
Its amazing how things all come together.
I feel somewhat overwhelmed today at Vicki's passion and raw honesty. To
bare
witness and be present, truly present at such a personal sharing of 'self'
and for what it means to be truly 'with woman' was awe inspiring. This time
shared with Vicki I will remember always as something for me that was truly
profound in nature. Her words touched the core of my being and resonated
throughout my body affirming for me what it is that I know of what it means
to be midwif - 'with woman'.
As I wrote on a card I gave to Vicki - "To follow the magic that's in ones
heart - is to become the inspiration for ones life". Never a truer word was
spoken as it would prove to be!!
Power to the woman!!!!
With love and admiration,
Yours in birth,
Tina Pettigrew
