Would they choose you? If women heard the thoughts in your head or how you spoke to your friends; would they choose you?

We are not angry enough, no we are, we as women are angry enough, but our anger incites no man to action... what if it were you? what if you were the one who felt the fear of being powerless? Would it change then? What would it take? Are you a good man?   Our bodies are not yours, how we dress is not an invitation to be claimed.

The gift of tea Today I wanted to share something I think has been lost, or possibly was never found in western culture There is something that shifts in our energy when we stop and stay in one place  I’m not talking about our home, or our career Something more simple and yet so much more foundational  A cup of tea… The unspoken words in a cup of tea The way it says do not rush off The way it says...

I've never been one to be summed up in a word. life has changed, feels like an understatement sometimes.
