C-Sections
I am shocked at the c-section rate in the US. Really, the latest report says 1/3 of women have them, regardless of whether they are more likely to have a healthy uncomplicated birth or not.

I’ve seen a lot of things lately that have made me feel very sad and upset about the society in which I live. I’d like to share just the most recent events…
This is a post I put up quite a few years ago, but I still consider it just as true today.

The Goddess is in the Details
I started this book last month and am trying to take my time reading it, focusing on a chapter every week or every few days. I always feel that this helps me to truly soak up what I’m reading, otherwise I get so focused on reading that I finish the book before I realize that I haven’t absorbed much of it.
I’m up early, not because I couldn’t sleep, but because I’m headed to Mons, Belgium today! There is a festival going on there this time of year, and the 76th Army Band is there to perform. I haven’t seen Mat yet, and I’ll be traveling with an army musician and his wife to join the band (and Mat) today.
I’m finally in Germany! Mom and I headed to Nashville International Airport on Thursday afternoon. I was able to take Tori and Snickers with me, but was a nervous wreck throughout the trip.
I always seem to consider writing personal entries right when I have some major life-changing event in my life or right when my drama level has reached critical mass; my entries never seem to be cute quips or short stories about my day.
So, Mat said he’d call once he arrived in Frankfurt, which should’ve been around 1am this morning, but I haven’t heard anything yet. Luckily, United Airlines has this great online web site that lets you track flights.
