I am so thrilled to announce that I have just signed up with LinkShare Referral Program. The first affiliate that I have been approved for is Hay House. So exciting - the first of many I'm sure as I have so many ideas to explore online.
The real reason I'm writing is because Louise L. Hay will be on Oprah tomorrow - Friday June 27th talking about her new movie 'You Can Heal Your Life'.
I just watched the movie trailer - This is a must see. Wow!

I recently watched ‘The Business of Being Born’. I knew it was going to be one of those movies that would make me angry & make me think. I was right. I am in my mid forties & I have no children. I am not really aware of the details of my sister-in-laws pregnancies nor my friends pregnancies. I tell you this to let you know this is a new subject for me. I had no idea what goes on in the delivery room. The movie trailer speaks for itself & I couldn’t do it better. You can find it at http://www.thebusinessofbeingborn.com/
Synopsis from the Business of Being Born website
“Birth is a miracle, a rite of passage, a natural part of life. But birth is also big business.
Compelled to explore the subject after the delivery of her first child, actress Ricki Lake recruits filmmaker Abby Epstein to question the way American women have babies.
The film interlaces intimate birth stories with surprising historical, political and scientific insights and shocking statistics about the current maternity care system. When director Epstein discovers she is pregnant during the making of the film, the journey becomes even more personal.
Should most births be viewed as a natural life process, or should every delivery be treated as a potentially catastrophic medical emergency?”
Only changing topic slightly, I was in Canada recently visiting my family. My dad was in the hospital. A few of his comments are making more sense to me now that I have seen ‘The Business of Being Born’. Obviously we are talking about different medical issues here but I was made aware of things about the medical system.
I’m going to keep the details of my father’s health private. But I’m really proud of my dad for questioning the cocktail of pills that were given to him daily. I think my dad is right to question every medication that enters his body & make an informed decision whether he wants to take them or not.
Dad also commented that the hospital is set up for the convenience of the medical personnel & not the patient. I saw a few things that made me agree with that.
I have a lot more comments on this based on my dad’s stay in the hospital & a girlfriend’s recent hospital adventure but I don’t want to be a complainer I want to be an encourager. So I give you an excerpt from ‘Take Charge of Your Body’ by Dr. Carolyn DeMarco http://www.drdemarco.com/wwp/demarc01.htm
I’m quoting it exactly from the book although a good portion if it could apply to men as well.
