Hope in the Midst of Violence: Why Mothers Matter
By Ann Seacrest, RN, IBCLC, Executive Director, MilkWorks
 How do we regain trust when bad things happen? How do we maintain compassion in the face of a horrible tragedy?
It may seem a stretch to connect infant nutrition with the maiming of innocent marathon runners and spectators. As I was glued to the coverage of the Boston bombings, I listened to an NPR report on the brain and the development of trust. Research has shown that when humans hold a glass of warm (versus cold) water, they are more trusting. Trust is crucial for the functioning of human societies. In order for us to live and work together in harmony, we must be able to trust each other.

"Life is a journey." "Nothing is constant but change."
By Dr. Kathy LeeperThe longer I live the more I realize these familiar sayings are very true, and my life is a fairly good example. As a medical student, I felt I had control over my life, I met my husband, Scott Rasmussen, got married, and earned my MD right on schedule. We went through the "couples" match and ended up in Minneapolis for three years. Those years are a blur. I carefully planned to have our first child in May as we finished, and I planned to take a full year to enjoy our baby. She was stillborn at 21 weeks, and life started to teach me it does not always go as planned. Read more
