Past a certain point, you stop being able to go home. At this point, when you have got this far from where you were from, the thread snaps. The narrative breaks. And you are forced, pastless, motherless, selfless, to invent yourself anew.

Small things we should cherish more in life:

Staring at the moon from your balcony.

Waking up to the sound of the rain.

Small achievements/success in your life.

Sleeping in a cozy or comfortable bed.

Walking barefoot on grass.

The first sip of coffee/tea/juice in the morning.

Different colors of sky.

Finishing a good book.

Counting stars with the person you love.

Sharing fruits with your friends/family.

Get more sun!

The mental and physical benefits of getting sun every day include but are not limited to:

Vitamin D production: Sunlight is the primary source of vitamin D, a nutrient that is essential for healthy bones and teeth, as well as immune system function and mental health.

Improved mood: Sunlight exposure triggers the release of serotonin, a hormone that can help improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Regulation of circadian rhythm: Exposure to sunlight can help regulate the body's natural sleep-wake cycle, leading to better sleep and overall health.

Reduced inflammation: Sunlight exposure has been shown to reduce inflammation in the body, which can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.

Improved immune function: Vitamin D produced by the body in response to sunlight exposure plays a critical role in immune function, helping to protect against infections and disease.

Lowered blood pressure: Exposure to sunlight has been shown to lower blood pressure, which can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Improved cognitive function: Sunlight exposure has been shown to improve cognitive function, including memory, attention, and processing speed.

Better bone health: Vitamin D produced in response to sunlight exposure plays an essential role in bone health, helping to prevent conditions such as osteoporosis.

Reduced risk of certain cancers: Sunlight exposure has been linked to a reduced risk of certain types of cancer, including breast, colon, and prostate cancer.

Improved skin conditions: Sunlight exposure can improve skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema, as well as improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Enhanced physical performance: Sunlight exposure can increase endurance and physical performance, as well as improve muscle strength and flexibility.

Increased energy: Sunlight exposure can increase energy levels, helping to combat fatigue and improve overall productivity.

The amount of sun exposure needed varies depending on several factors, such as skin type, time of day, geographic location, and the season. However, in general, it's recommended to get about 10-30 minutes of sun exposure daily, ideally in the morning or late afternoon when the sun's UV rays are not as strong.

Watching my mother destroy herself in the name of love from men left what feels like, at times, lifelong suitcases of grief for me to carry. At this point, I'm not mad, I am sad.

At times, i still grieve for what I wanted. I grieve for her that she didn't find what she was looking for from them. That now that she's older, she's alone, depressed often, unfulfilled - I weigh this, wondering did I lose?

It's bc of this, bc of her that I make choices that make me feel fulfilled, to be happy, to live fully, to be the best version of me i can be. Now. With future versions of me in mind. To be the best mother I can be. So...I ask myself how much there is to grieve anymore.

I'm more sad for her than for me.

When I'm trying to go to sleep, I have a few different ways of doing this.

I visualize myself floating in water, completely relaxed and at peace with myself and life.

I imagine my brain tucking in for the night preparing to wash away the dirt of the day and selecting the good memories for long-term storage.

And my recent favorite is like being in a game. I envision myself returning to behind the scenes of the stage of life. Creating my energy, focusing on where I'm going, and what I want to experience next. And yall, idk if it's bc of this last one, but life literally hands me what I'm dreaming of, but in ways I don't choose. It just shows up.

Grateful. Grateful. Grateful.

Goodnight. Sweet dreams 🤍

“Letting go is a central theme in spiritual practice, as we see the preciousness and brevity of life. When letting go is called for, if we have not learned to do so, we suffer greatly, and when we get to the end of our life, we may have what is called a crash course. Sooner or later we have to learn to let go and allow the changing mystery of life to move through us without our fearing it, without holding and grasping.” ~ Jack Kornfield.

✨ 4 steps for Letting go:

Let it hurt.

Let it bleed.

Let it heal.

Let it go.

Literally a phrase I find myself repeating often 🤍

“And you are finally calm. Filled with a space so wide and dark that the silence in you becomes something soft.”

— Anis Mojgani, from “Pancakes” in Songs From Under the River

"It has to end, you know.

The self-hatred. The collective shaming. The disdain for other. The emotional armor. The buried pain. The displaced humans. The misplaced kindness. The repressed trauma. The fake positivity. The meaningless materialism. The forgotten heart.

It has to BEGIN, you know.

The self-love. The collective healing. The love for others. The emotional release. The liberated pain. The welcomed humans. The perpetual kindness. The honored story. The authentic feeling.

The meaningful purpose.

The open heart.

It is time."

-Jeff Brown

I know you do..in the way you love me and choose me so easily. an unspeakable bond. so precious and full of life 💛 we chose your name, your mama and I, with a lot of thought & deep meaning. watching you walk this earth with me, hand in hand, is a surreal moment. I am your grandmother, your ancestor. all the work I've been doing in this life, you will positively profit from, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that I would do it again.

“Wherever diseases exist, a lack of harmonious frequencies can be found in the body. Plants providing missing frequencies can therefore restore health. The plant kingdom represents the resource for adjusting frequency.”

Confession: Most days, I'm a beam of sunlight walking around - optimistic, loving, warm, gentle, and considerate. More or less in flow. But some days, the shadow side of the moon takes hold, and I want to cry, and be held, and bathe in the hottest water my skin can stand with leaves of tea and extracted oils, and candles. I want to crawl into a place not even I can find me. Today is that day. And for some reason it's easier to tell you than to tell my circle of support.
