I'm not gonna ask you who sent the Nutella secret. I'm going to ask the person who I think sent it in; and if it's not them well . . . we'll have a good joke to tell at parties.

Subject: Forced C-Section
My doctor forced me into a c-section before his shift was over because he was tired of waiting on me. I knew it wasn't supposed to happen like that.
I have found solace on the
ICAN website and mailing list. The women of that group have made me feel like I am not alone, that my feelings are valid, and they have given me the strength to do something better for myself and for my future children.

Saving someone from drowning doesn't make you a hero.
It makes you terrified that next time you won't be able to save them.

Subject: What secrets are.
I think that when we read other people's secrets in your books, on your blog, or at your events, we read a secret we didn't know we had or a new look on things and a greater understanding that we already have and it just takes someone else's story to have it awakened.
We can look at people in the streets and see something we wouldn't have and think, "Maybe it was that person's secret." and then we feel more connected to people by realizing that maybe we all carry the same secrets.

Subject: "the only thing stopping me from going to work with a gun ..."
mom, i have seen what that job has done to you. i've never seen you so stressed and depressed in my life. honestly, if you went to work with a gun, i wouldn't blame you. sometimes, the way you come home so sad, i want to go do it myself.
how about we don't give them the integrity of dying by our hands? how about we just forget them?
come on, mom. let's do it. let's move to new york. i know this is all you've been waiting for; for me to say something.
you don't have to put up with their bullshit anymore.
it's ok, mom. i'm ready to go.
