The Loving Masculine: The Lost Key To Balance.

In men, their physicality is much more like armor. Social roles they have had throughout history reinforced this, so their heart is harder to reach. But that doesn’t mean it does not desire to be touched just as much. The endless search for connection, the craving for love, and the wish to be ...

Rumi, Jake Sully, And A Starry, Starry Night.

Thinking of those no longer around, how I wish to speak with them now, standing on my balcony, the sun shining magnificently, so utterly lovely for winter. The birds share their songs, selflessly. The trees readying themselves with fresh buds and herbs starting to grow.

The Black Silk Flower In My Hair: Bravery, Shame & The Feminine.

I was reminded that shame may always be a companion, that no matter what I do, I can’t wholly undo shame. I don’t blame her, how could I? This is the air we breathe, the water we drink, fault and origin are less relevant than figuring how to feel ashamed and live your life anyway.

Vulnerability, Shame & Society: Let Us Be More Open With Each Other.

I believe the shame is here for many reasons, too many to name in one article, but one of them being a deep-rooted systemic fear that if we all lived our lives connecting with each other from a place of love and openness, compassion and respect, rather than the fear, criticism, and judgment ...

The Key To The Broom Closet: Liberating Your Witch’s Soul.

Schools And Prisons: The Education Industrial Complex.

No child gives a damn about the Pythagorean theorem, or stoichiometry, or the falsified history of European devils. All of the garbage being taught is what wires students’ brains, and prevents free and critical thinking. Most students are force-fed lies, and frivolous information they don’t ...

Taking A Bite Out Of My Eating Disorders And Depression.

I have battle scars on my arms, and stretch marks and loose skin on my baby-bearing belly. My thighs and legs are tiny, my hair and eyes are brown, my breasts disappeared with the infancy of my children, and pimples, freckles, blackheads and laugh lines are the make-up of my face.

Why Feminism Can’t Be Replaced By Equalism Or Humanism.

If you are really so afraid of offending this patriarchal society, and if all that stands between you and me being on the same side and working for the same cause is a word, then by all means, go ahead and call yourself an equalist. But please don’t question feminism, or suggest that the whole ...

Dear Empath, We Need You.

You will cry out in the meeting in which no one else would raise a hand, shining light on the vibes underlying the entire group. You will speak up for the whales, the ocean, even the air, which has been so violently ripped of life by those around you. You will not stop shedding your tears until ...
