Some favorite quotes/thoughts

Doula is Greek for "woman who serves"

"The thing about death is that we're all terrified of it happening, and we're devastated when it does, and we go out of our way to pretend that neither of these things is true."

"One of my favorite concepts from Ancient Egypt was kheperu, or manifestations. An individual was much more than just the Khat, or body. You were made up of the ib - a heart; a ka soul- a familial legacy; a ba soul - your personality and reputation; shuyet - a shadow; and ren - your name. After death, while the ka stayed earthbound in the mummified corpse, the ba soul winged its way to Re, the sun god.
