Right off the bat, I must confess that I am writing this at 37 weeks pregnant and racked in pain. I had every intention of writing an eloquent reflection on mothers, as we have just celebrated Mother’s Day, and add my knowledge to my experience and pull it together to witness to the great power that resonates from every mother. However, I have no intellect left. I have no knowledge beyond the present; I am a wash... [Read more...]
This theme has been cropping up since we first heard the devastating news from the ultrasound technician, ”The baby’s heart isn’t beating.” At that moment I would have traded my own heart if it meant my baby’s might begin to beat again. But that was not to happen. As the tears rolled down my face I couldn’t help but think that in that very same hospital there might be a woman... [Read more...]
“No one here is going to tell you that you can’t breastfeed your baby, but here are your daughter’s test results,” the doctor told me as I looked longingly at my four week old daughter. She had an IV on the top of her head, was just taken off of oxygen support, and was being nourished by a feeding tube through her nose. We had been in the NICU nearly a week, and without anything by mouth the whole... [Read more...]
When I was in my second year of teaching, I had a co-worker come up to me in the hallway and inform me that she had had a dream that I was pregnant, that she was “usually pretty good about knowing these things,” and that I should probably take a test. I laughed, and told her that I actually was on day 32 or something of my cycle, which was usually a solid 28 days. Her face lit up, and she asked what... [Read more...]
It should come as no shock that the prevalent American culture puts a high value on the sexual identity of a woman. How sleek, slender and fierce she looks in order to complete her job or attract a significant other. Well this afternoon I was using Google to try and find something I had watched a few nights ago on Youtube before I went to bed and I stumbled across another article. Stop posting that Dove ad: “Real... [Read more...]

Peter and Marcie Stokman are this month’s featured supporters. Marcie and Peter live in northern Minnesota. Marcie is the founder of The Well Read Mom, which encourages women to read books from the Western and Catholic tradition. Marcie recalls that she first met our Founder, Leah Jacobson, shortly after the Jacobsons moved to their area. She realized that Leah had a deep understanding as well as an ability to articulate and communicate the message of New Feminism. She invited Leah to speak to the High School History Class she helps teach. As Marcie heard more about the Guiding Star Vision, she helped organize another speaking engagement for Leah at their Church. Marcie and Peter became convinced that women in our culture need what the Guiding Star Project offers, a women's health care model that respects the dignity of the person in all aspects. “Peter and I feel, well, grateful, to be able to support an organization that is moving and building a model that will be a blessing to families” said Marcie.The Guiding Star Project is so grateful for the support of Peter and Marcie, and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts!
