We Are The Volcanoes

“We are volcanoes.
When we women offer our experience as our truth,
as human truth, all the maps change.
There are new mountains.”
~~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Greetings to all my precious people!!
We are volcanoes. What an amazing statement to proclaim!
Not flowers. Not gentle streams. Not soft background music while men do the important work.
Volcanoes.
Powerful. Disruptive. World-changing.
And for too long, we’ve been taught to keep the pressure down. To stay dormant. To never let the truth erupt.
But the Fire Horse year doesn’t allow dormancy.
It arrived on February 17th (six weeks ago), and if you’ve been feeling the intensity – the demand to be authentic, to speak truth, to stop performing – that’s Fire Horse energy.
And it’s calling the volcano in you to ERUPT.

- Food can reduce risk (primary prevention).
- Food can support treatment alongside medical care (adjunct therapy).
- Food can change symptoms by affecting inflammation, blood pressure, lipids, glucose, the gut microbiome, and even brain signaling.
It won’t replace necessary medications or procedures. But in many cases, it can meaningfully shift the trajectory of health and sometimes quickly. continue reading

Spring Equinox & The Fix It Trap

“If I just fixed that one thing, I’d finally feel OK.”
~~ Kate Gies
Greetings to all my precious people!!
Today is the Spring Equinox. Equal light and dark. Perfect balance. The moment between winter’s interior work and spring’s outward emergence.
And I want to ask you a question that might make you uncomfortable:
What are you asking your appearance to do for you?
Not your body. Your appearance.
Your weight. Your skin. Your hair. Your wrinkles. Your belly. Your thighs.
What are you asking them to prove?
