dear hearts~
we are moving through some deepening moments as a result of the concentration of energies that have been culminating and within this private and internal process we are activating profound pivots within our lenses of perception which inform how we experience our self and our reality…

there is so much here to receive and digest and allow to become the medicine that carries the nutrients forward forming the new skin that is beneath what we have been shedding…

and what is being asked of us now is the releasing and instead moving into a space of adaptability…

we have a NEW MOON rising in SAGITTARIUS on December 19th, which is asking us to stretch our vision so that we can allow the embodied integration of both our human and spirit natures…

as the centaur, the SAGITTARIUS archetype reminds us that we are both and can therefore bridge the worlds…

and soon after on the SOLSTICE we will transition into CAPRICORN, which as the sea goat, also holds the bridging energies of both earth and water…

and so this message of mutability and adaptability is the current that we can tune into as we learn to become more fluid in our willingness to let go and move into a place of discovery…

and we might also discover a deep sensorial knowing of what has always been here, in depths of our awareness, in our bones, in our cellular memory and part of our collective inheritance…

for access to all that has ever been is through the doorway of our hearts…

and this is a journey we can’t take with our minds, even as we reach for information to make sense of things, we must tune into our bodies and bring our precious awareness to the field within…

my dear friend Elena Brower offers us in her new book “Hold Nothing,” the invitation to practice acknowledging ourselves with kindness when things are challenging and say to ourselves “how human of me” to feel this way…

as we move through this time of dissolving, as NEPTUNE and SATURN move through the last degree of PISCES and the entire zodiac wheel we might find ourselves reflecting on things that we needed to be disillusioned by, so that we could fully release them…

“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.”

Gilda Radner said those words while dying of cancer. It’s a detail that matters.

Because it’s easy to celebrate not-knowing when you’re young, and the horizon before you seems infinite. It’s something else entirely to find peace with uncertainty when the story you thought you were living has been torn to shreds before you. Radner wasn’t offering us platitudes. She was reporting from the front lines of a living organism that refused to cooperate with her plans.

Delicious ambiguity. Not tolerable. Not acceptable. Delicious.

I keep coming back to that word. This New Moon asks something specific – not just to accept uncertainty, but to find nourishment in it. We are almost dissolved. It’s time to stop treating mystery as a problem to be solved and start treating it as a condition to be faced, accepted… inhabited.

Let’s start looking more at the real meaning behind our traditions …

PLANTS OF THE YULETIDE & THEIR SYMBOLISM 🌿🍒
🕊️ History shows that the botanicals we used for holidays were those thriving in that particular season. This is a great weekend to get out and forage for the botanicals which make house a home for the holidays!

🎄Symbolic Yuletide and Solstice botanicals used to deck the halls include:
•Evergreens (spruce, arborvitae, Christmas fern and wintergreen) as symbols of immortality since they were among the only botanicals to stay green when all others lost their leaves.
•Yews represented the death of the old year and were a connection between this world and the next.
•Oak trees were revered for being long-lived. Even though they were not evergreen, they were symbols of eternal life and considered a source of protection, strength, and endurance.
•Rosemary, an evergreen shrub in warm climates, was called the herb of the sun.
*Bay, an evergreen herb used in holiday garlands and comforting teas. Bay laurel also signifies achievement and celebration.
•Birch trees symbolized new beginnings.
•Mistletoe stood for peace, happiness and smooches.
•Holly was used for magical protection and good luck.
•Ivy symbolized fidelity, faithfulness, and healing and was made into wreaths and garlands to decorate during the winter.
•Pine symbolized peace, healing, and joy.

Hum your way to health.

🩸 Did you know you can hum your way to healthier blood pressure
It sounds too simple to be true, but the biology is fascinating. Your arteries actually "love" the physical vibration of humming.

The Mechanism: When you practice Brahmari Pranayama (Bee Breath)—a technique where you make a buzzing sound on the exhale—two powerful things happen:

Nitric Oxide Release: The vibration in your paranasal sinuses increases the production of Nitric Oxide by up to 15x compared to silent breathing. Nitric Oxide is a potent vasodilator—it signals your blood vessels to relax and widen, allowing blood to flow more easily.

Vagal Stimulation: The prolonged humming exhale stimulates the Vagus Nerve, which slows your heart rate and reduces sympathetic (stress) tone.

The Result: Research shows that even just 5 minutes of this slow, humming breath can lead to a significant immediate drop in blood pressure.

Try "The Bee Breath": Close your eyes. Block your ears gently with your thumbs. Inhale deep, and exhale with a high-pitched buzzing hum: "Hnmmmmm." Feel the vibration in your nose and head.

Every. Word.

don’t call me resilient
like it’s a crown
i wanted to wear

don’t paint me
in gold resurrection
and say “look how she rises"
as if I’m a phoenix
by choice
not necessity

you praise my strength
like it grew wild and free
from power
not grief

but darling—
my resilience
was not a poem
it was a scream

it was duct tape
and deadlines
and trembling hands
on the wheel
and nights crying
on cold linoleum
while the world insisted
i was tough
and had it all together

it was smiling in rooms
where i was bleeding
it was laughing
so no one would ask
why my eyes looked like
they remembered the war

so no
resilience isn’t a compliment
it’s a scar
you named beautiful
because you didn’t want to look
at the wound

it’s the armor
you admired
so you wouldn’t have to ask
why i needed it

you say
“you’re so strong”
i hear
“you can take more”
but what if i don’t want to?

what if
my vulnerability
is more essential
than my ability to
take a hit?

what if feeling my feelings
all the way down
is fierce reclamation
of my authentic self?
what if i want
a life that bares
the naked inconvenient truth
in my teeth
not just the sword
in my smile?

what if i am
just as strong
in my grief
and tender overwhelm
as i am when i’m carrying on
or as you like to say—
walking it off?

what if i’m tired of compliments
that support hiding
the fractures and bruises
so you can be comfortable?

i refuse to be
a crime scene coverup
i refuse to be complicit
in falsifying my truth
so i can win your esteem
like there’s a trophy
for suffering
and a reward for silence

no

i’d rather hear
how brave i am
to be real in a world
that benefits from fakery

how courageous
i am to feel my fear
and still show up fully
shaking and imperfect

that i am a badass
for wearing reckless joy
bigger than my damage

now that, dear patriarchy,
is a compliment
