I love being in my body, rest, and gentle connection. And I’m working on no longer apologizing. This Exercises my free will and the privilege of being who I am. Frolicking is literally saving my life!💕 Traveling in the...

Mannnnn!! We talk so much about the prayers of our grandmothers, our ancestors, and those who love us. But when do we actually test that faith? Literally step out, hell, jump out here, and really see how strong and expansive their prayers are.

Have you heard about the concept of 10,000 hours? Putting in this amount of time on talent or interest is said to make you an expert of your craft.

Maybe it’s self-soothing to justified th...
