Ok. Deep breath.

This is a big vulnerable ask.

I've been working on this story for years. Well, more accurately, Mary Slawter and I have been working on telling her life story for years. We get together at her house, go through photos, books, and papers and talk about her life. Here's some of what's to come in a photo essay book on her life:

It's the love story of midwifery and community, a story about the importance of stillness and listening to that small inner voice we all have.

She's 85 now and after the loss of dear family and friends this year, time is of the essence. Her story needs to be told, and it needs to be out in the world now.

Here's where you come in. I have about two solid months of focused work left to complete the book, and I need financial support (you know: paying the bills) to focus on it. If I can really put my full attention on this alone, it will be ready for publication. Your support can help us get this story out into the world. It really is one for the ages.

I would be grateful, and Mary would be too. Like every midwife, she's patient, but it's time for everyone to meet this baby.

Thanks, you guys.
