Three Sisters Carrying the Land

We walk together, three as one,
our steps weaving echoes of the ancestors.
The baskets upon our heads are not only fruit—
they are memory,
they are hope,
they are the songs of a homeland
that still breathes within us.

The apples shine with the laughter of summers past,
the berries hold the taste of our mother’s voice,
and the feathers whisper of journeys yet to come.
Each weight we carry
is lighter because we carry it together.

Sister to sister,
our shadows braid into one,
like rivers joining before the sea.
We are bound not only by blood,
but by the earth beneath our feet,
the fire waiting at home,
the circle of love no distance can break.

In our baskets,
we return not just food,
but the spirit of the land itself—
a promise to those before us,
a gift to those yet to be.
Three sisters, three hearts,
one memory,
one hope,
one unending bond.

Mother Bear’s Whisper

Little one, walk close to me,
your paws are small, yet meant to be free.
The world is heavy, the nights grow long,
but in my heart, you are always strong.

I carry your spirit, I guard your name,
no voice can silence, no loss can tame.
Each step we take upon this land,
is written in love, by Creator’s hand.

They tried to steal, they tried to bind,
the light of children, the sacred kind.
But hear me now — you are not alone,
every child matters, every child comes home.

So walk beside me, beneath the skies,
your laughter echoes, your spirit flies.
My cub, my heart, forever true,
I wear this orange, in honor of you.

In Denmark, education has long gone beyond academics. Since 1993, empathy has been a required part of the curriculum for children aged 6 to 16. These lessons teach kids how to put themselves in someone else’s shoes, to practice kindness, and to resolve conflicts with understanding rather than aggression.

The impact has been profound. Classrooms became more inclusive, bullying steadily declined, and students grew up valuing cooperation as much as achievement. Parents and educators alike credit these lessons with creating a safer and more nurturing environment.

Today, Denmark’s strong reputation for happiness and social trust can be traced back to these classroom values. By making empathy a cornerstone of learning, the nation has shown the world that compassion isn’t just a feeling—it’s a skill that can be taught.

Aspartame, the artificial sweetener used in products from diet sodas to children’s cough syrups, is once again under scrutiny. A recent study in Scientific Reports has found that aspartame damages blood vessels, increases inflammation, and interferes with blood flow—all of which raise the risk of ischemic stroke. Researchers emphasized that its cumulative impact, even at low doses, may gradually compromise brain blood vessel health.

Despite being promoted as a calorie-free solution for cutting sugar, aspartame has been tied to numerous health concerns. Studies have linked it to weight gain, diabetes, and even cancers of the brain. Marketed under names like Equal, NutraSweet, and AminoSweet, it has been a staple of “diet” culture for decades, yet its risks continue to expand with every new wave of research.

The troubling reality is that aspartame was approved in 1974 with little long-term data. Fifty years later, we now understand its potential dangers, yet it remains in thousands of products. Meanwhile, a new wave of synthetic biology foods—from fake meats to GMO ice creams—is following the same path: minimal testing, inadequate labeling, and no long-term safety studies.

Do we want to wait another half-century to learn the consequences of these new engineered foods? Choosing to avoid aspartame and other synthetic additives today is the best way to protect your long-term health. Real, whole foods remain the safest choice for a strong body and mind.

Have you lost something recently?

“The things that are lost are not gone.
They wait for the one who remembers how to call them back.”

St. Anthony is more than the patron of lost things—
He is the soul’s gentle guide back to what was forgotten,
misplaced, or scattered by grief.

Keys, yes.
But also time.
Names.
Dreams.
Pieces of ourselves.

He listens—not just with ears, but with spirit.
Symbolized by lilies, books, flame, and child—
he is the keeper of innocence, wisdom, and return.

Call to him not just to find what is lost—
but to remember what was sacred all along.

It is about the impact.

Do you feel the urgency of sharing your Message/Medicine with your tribe/community/the world?

I am asking you because this is not the time to sit on the sidelines, sisters. The time to share your Voice is now. Perhaps you held back due to personal reasons, perhaps your voice was shared in your corporate job or any other kind of writing you had to perform to make a living.

But now you are different. You have awakened. the veil has been lifted from your eyes. Your Soul speaks in another language and you can no longer ignore the call from within. If you do, it would be crime against yourself and the creative genius dwelling in you.

So, let me ask you again. Do you feel the urgency to share your Message/ Medicine with your tribe/community/the world?

This sense of urgency is directly connected to your deep why. Why are you drawn to do what you do? How deeply connected are you to your soul work, your message, your medicine?

There is a 'personal why' to our work. And there is also a 'soul why' to our work. And there is a 'social why' to our Heart's Calling. There is a link, a thread that can be pulled from our 'personal why' to our 'social why". Our social why is the deep why. When our 'why' transcends the personal that represents the wound that pushed us to seek healing in the first place, the work we are called to do becomes our deep social why. And that's when a sense of urgency will come over you. This is the why that will get you out of bed day after day and do whatever is needed to make the world a little better with your Voice and Medicine.

In this sense, you are moving into transforming your Message/ Medicine into a cause that is bigger than just helping clients. If your work is about empowering women, think about how your work makes a bigger impact in the world by empowering women. If you are a reiki practitioner, think about how helping people heal impacts the world at large. If you are a wordsmith, take in consideration how your writing can change minds and hearts and how that impacts the world as a whole.

No matter what you do, no matter your heart's calling or your offerings, you can find an angle that is showing you how to lead with a cause, a deep why, a social why.

And this is when the magic begins. You will be able to expand your message and invite others to join you in your heart's calling.

Because this is no longer about you or even about helping one person at the time, it is about the impact you can make on a social scale..............................................................
