Woman's body found off Kalapana

[csgray]

I spent one pregnancy working as the weekend manager for an emergency shelter for abused women and children and freshly released mental patients, it was one of the most stressful periods of my life ever, in spite of the comfortable furnished apartment that came with the job. At that time in my life, camping on the lava with someone I loved would have been a far less stressful experience, and far more soul satisfying. I don't think any of us who didn't know Brittany could possibly know what was, and wasn't, stressful for her. I do know that doing something hard, like camping on the lava, can be a very positive experience if you are doing it because you want to. If circumstances forced you into it, the experience could be the exact opposite. I had friends who had their babies in tipis in Montana, a houseboat in the Everglades, and in a tree house in the Oregon coast range in January. They were all very happy and stress free, because they were starting their families the way they wanted to, I picture Brittany as having that same strong pioneer earth mama adventuresome spirit.
