Let love be my first and last stop on this journey. And may I find as many moments of love as I can in between.   I always thought self-love was over-rated. I thought, what about all our other emotions, our anger, our rage and shame? They count too! I was so aware of spiritual

Creativity does not mean you have to take up painting! Anxiety is a form of fear that comes in many disguises.  Thoughts that something bad is going to happen.  Crushing chest tightness and shortness of breath.

  Diverse societies are more adaptive, resilient and survive longer. Diverse diets support a healthy body and microbiome. Diverse plant life support each other to grow and the health of the whole region. Biodiversity is a key indicator of the health of an ecosystem.
