We are going to thrive out loud. We are going to take up space in this world. We are not going to apologize for our intersections, our identities, our work, our love or how we lead life. We are going to continue to document so we can stand with others and illuminate the path in letting our youth know that it *actually* does get better.

Dreams don't actualize until we speak those meditations of our hearts from our mouths. So, what's on your vision board?

Besides staying home and fully recovering, there are a few things we can reach for that will help support our bodies as we move back toward wellness should we come down with a nasty cold or flu. Here's our 6 most important self-care tools for this gnarly cold/flu season.

Before you begin, a trigger warning. This is written with the white birth worker in mind, for those who are earnest, yet perhaps green in their allyship and activism; this is for those who need to muster up the courage and action to utilize their position of privilege. Lastly, as terrible as it feels to acknowledge our complicity in a system of oppression, we, white women, who seek peace on earth by working in the birth world need to step up.

I've always been a women gatherer. I think it's because I'm an only child and with no siblings, I've always felt I needed to fill that void.

It's about Better Woman + Better Earth.

Come for the gifts, stay for the love. I hope you find the same magic in these organic provisions as I do - that they refill your cup the way the refill mine, full to the brim so we can keep pouring all season long.

Harvard researchers found that a daily piece of chocolate lowers the risk of heart disease by as much as 57% (which means it’s better to eat it daily than not!), while dozens of other studies returned favorable results for everything from brain function to smooth, soft skin to pregnancy complications.

The magic that Nova created, that I have the privilege of helping carry out, is a reminder that love is a continuous flow within us and throughout us as a village. With love of self comes the ease to love others, to be loved, and to thrive in the higher vibration of our space. Better woman, better earth. Amen.
