Herstory

This has been a herstoric week ❤ so proud of my sisters who shined in so many ways! And the guys did pretty great too 🙂 those Bernie memes are hysterical, and science is making a strong comeback. A new day and a new era. And a woman is at the top yay! I totally appreciate this magnificent milestone,


Unfortunately we are still mostly in lockdown and will continue to be for the immediate future. After almost a year it has become habit to stay home, to not touch, to cover our faces. We have conditioned ourselves in ways that would have been unimaginable this time last year.. the longing for human contact grows but still feels unreachable.


This happens with abuse. In the beginning our instincts tell us we are harming ourselves or being harmed, but after a while it becomes an acceptable alternative. Being alone or ignored or ridiculed for not playing along feels like death, and so the rules of engagement are followed.


It is important I think to state your truth, if only to yourself, to say that you are doing x or y not because you want to, but because you don’t want to face the consequences for not following along. Yes find the silver lining if you can, but it is ok if you are feeling tired and lonely and need human touch. I know I do.


This week I was finally able to reach out and ask for help ❤ will keep practicing that… Hope to meet with tech pro next week to learn about podcast setup.
Attended a webinar on breath work that was very informative. The breath is so powerful and there are so many ways to practice, who knew? 🙂 excited to share!


I also listened to a presentation on creating podcasts and love the concept of building community, not just content. Also love the idea of contests and games and will look into adding Gamipress to my page. Even after we are able to have group lessons the virtual lessons will continue to be important since they can reach a wider audience without time constraints.

Product of the week is facial masks. My friend Jennifer gave me a couple as a gift and it feels so relaxing and refreshing! You just open the package, unfold the mask and put it on. There are holes for eyes nose and mouth. This is an easy inexpensive way to pamper yourself, and you are worth it!


It was inspiring watching the songs from inauguration, especially when Garth Brooks asked everyone to sing Amazing Grace with him. Singing together is a peak experience, and a great exercise to build empathy and improve emotional control. Your voice is unique and powerful. Listen to it ❤
