Poem No. 3

i gather up

each sound

you left behind

and stretch them on our bed.

                                        each nite

i breathe you

and become high.

-Sonia Sanchez

When life hands you lemons, purify!

Lemons contain powerful effects for the body inside and out. A slice can exfoliate the face, compliment tea, and flavor your foods. The citric acid, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium properties detoxes the body and gives a energy boost. Not only does it purify the skin of wrinkles and acne, but lemons also strengthen the hair when used during the shampoo process. The vitamin C maintains pH levels in the body, reduces joint pain, and aids the digestive system. Wake up and get your day started right with a glass of lemon water to flush out all the previous toxins. Life. Love. Lemons. 🍋 🍋 🍋

The Scorpio’s Full Moon is full of energies and emotions. The light begins to lessen from the SUN known as the “waning phase”. The tug between taurus and  scorpio moon’s bring a challenge in our lives of releasing bad energies. Value the beauty that taurus brings and release the ego of desiring material things and stubborn emotions. Scorpio is a water sign with intense emotions and insight. They are about spirituality, mystery, intimacy, loyalty, and psychic gifts. Matters with the heart may arise. Embrace the intensity of the powerful scorpio who is ready to manifest in challenges and rise like the phoenix ashes. A time representing transformation of your inner God and the Earths soul. Go deep into yourself and connect with your higher self. Speak your truth and inner kindness. Be clear and say what you mean because someone may challenge your ideas good or bad. This is a time to be compassionate and forgiving of others. Allow yourself to blossom like the lotus and find patience in the chaos of situations. Namaste. image by: fakescenery
