Make November a Month to Remember: Healing Pain Harvesting Pleasure
6:30 am this morning, I grabbed my coffee and sat on my balcony, my daily routine. Meditation after vivid dreams centered on the number 5 and a window view of a deciduous yellow birch, revealed this week's spiritual message about pain and its opposite, pleasure. Guided by nature and the divine, "Make November a month to remember" came to me with harvest-specific downloads. Personally related events inspire today's huddle, but the message is deeper and not limited to only me.

I Thought I Knew Self-Care — I Was Wrong
When I was feeling low, I used to believe that self-care consisted solely of spa days, face masks, and indulging in something sweet. It was a decade ago. I once thought that caring for oneself was a band-aid solution, something you did only when you were exhausted, rather than something you did every day.

How to Balance Estrogen Through Your Diet: Pro Tips
I’m sure many of you have heard (or read!) me say this before, but… You can’t actually “balance” your hormones. They aren’t meant to be balanced.

Becoming the Crone
I am noticing changes. Tiny, subtle shifts at first—irregular cycles, new sensations in my body, a different rhythm to my sleep and energy. My body is speaking a language I am only beginning to learn, and I am listening with curiosity rather than fear.

Pawverbs To Live Your Life By
If you have never had the pleasure of sharing life with a dog, you are missing out on one of God’s greatest gifts. I cringe when I hear people say they own or have owned a dog. While that may be true, they are free spirits. We can learn a lot about living from their behaviour.
