Birthdays and Moments

Birthdays and Moments

Another beautiful trip around our Sun. Looking at how quickly the time flew between 40 and this 41st year of mine, it’s such a great reminder of how each moment makes up a year. Hoping to be more present in as many moments as possible, this year. Following what intuitively feels best this year, too…

Safety Tips for Women (Resharing)

Not mine. This was forwarded to me, but I felt it could be life-saving. I also haven't verified any of this, so feel free to do so yourself. (Disclaimer: ** non-high-vibe** blog post.)

Note, two points remind us as women to STOP being so polite (here, they say sympathetic). Self-care overflows as care for others, with our own healthy boundaries in place. Feel free to share.

Women are covered or shamed for their very sensuality. Art is destroyed. Music is banned. The list goes on. He points to the Spanish Inquisition, Witch hunts, the Greco-Roman reform of their religion to brutally remove the female as the bearers of life and today's main patriarchal religions that have also removed women as bearers of life.

If you're paying attention, today the term "motherhood" offends. Any enjoyment of physical beauty offends -- disguised as offence taken by society's narrow definition of beauty. To attribute femininity largely to women also offends. And yet, we see that the feminine is rising again, regardless…

Focusing on yourself is not selfish

Focusing on yourself is not selfish

From an early age, when we see something in quotes, particularly from someone well-known as an expert, we take it as fact, or more importantly, truth.
