FORWARD PROGRESS

Thank you to all that have been so helpful in getting the ball rolling....and rolling it is!

Please continue to pass on this information to all of the people you know that want to stand up for their rights.

Preserving Traditional Midwifery in Idaho is growing everyday. More and more people are coming forward and stepping up to the plate to make their voices heard.

It is so encouraging to talk to people that realize the Idaho Midwifery Legislation is not in the best interest of the midwifery community as a whole. It serves a select few and lays the rest to waste.

I recieved an e-mail from a midwife that practiced in another state that passed midwifery legislation. This midwife expressed that she wished she could have "seen into the future" at what the legislation was really going to do to midwifery. She also stated that if she could go back that she would have never gotten her license and would have instead, "fought however she could" to keep it from passing. She didnt' realize that in passing the legislation they were giving up their GOD given rights.

Idaho midwives are going to realize the exact same thing a few years down the road when reality sinks in and they see firsthand that this legislation is going to irrevocably damage midwifery.

If there are midwives from other states that would like to share their before and after legislation stories, I would love to hear from you.

Our group, Preserving Traditional Midwifery in Idaho will be holding it's first get together in August. As soon as all of the details are worked out I will let you know. We are very excited to have this "ice breaker" event and look forward to seeing and meeting all of you.

I will leave you today with this quote:

The future depends on what we do in the present. - Mahatma Gandhi

This is so true. We are the creators of our future by our actions today. So take action and create what you want in your future.
