Dear Friends~
Part of my deepening into sacred days and seasons is looking with a kind and critical eye at the traditions and “sacred” things of my family, ancestry and culture. Many of you have witnessed how I've wrestled over the last few years with a growing dis-ease with the observance of T
...This past month I had body work done. I didn’t think about this ahead of time, but when my friend Catalyst (check her out here) asked me where I needed work done, I listed a number of things and then was surprised to hear myself say: “and maybe…my psoas,” rubbing my belly.
