Don't Hate 'Cause We Procreate
I attended my first birth quite by accident at a young age while locked outside a convenience store whose payphone was broken (nobody had cell phones back then). A van pulled into the parking lot and a man threw the doors open and jumped out of the van frantic and scared as his partner was inside the van delivering their first baby. I was guided to her and intuitively assisted this beautiful woman in delivering her baby before the paramedics arrived. My first calling to this sacred work.
