I'd spent 12 years building my practice, and I had three homes, a Mercedes, two dogs, and two cats. That was the question I now had to ask myself. If you asked my mother, it went all the way back to the day I was delivered from her womb. Of course, most mothers remember their first birthing experience as special and unique. But it's not the same thing.
Some women go through days of torturous labor.
Others give birth in the woods or the back seat of a taxi. She died on the delivery table while in labor with me. But dying wasn't what bothered her. What bothered her was having to come back to life.
