We are all selfish as a matter of physical or emotional survival. As for your Angel, I was touched by this blog entry and want you to know that I haven't forgotten, and probably never will, how awesomely you've committed yourself to other women's stories and subsequent empowerment, through FBC, MC, CANA and Birthtalk. I completely understand your passion for creating some bigger legacy and your anxiety over having the spares to nurture a family too. It is a challenge to be sure. Know that you can swing back and forth as you need to and that no one can ever criticise you for having a sense of priority. Give yourself time to heal and remember that saying NO is good for your mental health. With love, Jodie Cas, I really don’t believe the state of ’selflessness’ exists.

I don't think you would know me but I sort-of know you via my older sister who is a friend of yours. I found this blog through a link from Homebirth: A Midwife Mutiny. I really like what you say -- you're so much more articulate and even-tempered than I am about these issues we're facing at the moment! I'm going to Canberra too, so maybe I'll see you there.
