Okay friends, I'm going to be vulnerable here.
I love this community and I love seeing women hold each other up and celebrate our femininity, our strength, our compassion.
I've let this work take a second seat because I have had a struggle dealing with the world. I'm a Pisces, and am very empathetic and overly emotional at times. I physically take on the hard stuff - when you cry, I cry.
Many of you know that after dealing with the constant bad news of 2020 which left us all with some emotional scarring anyways, I lost my father to cancer late last year. Since then, it's been a grieving process that has ebbed and flowed, and ultimately has impacted my daily life.
So with the recent recoveries of beautiful Indigenous babies at residntial "schools" here in Canada, my heart has been very heavy. I'm left wondering what can I do, how can I help, how do we heal?
This is a reminder that we are a community, that we are a safe space, where we include and celebrate ALL bodies regardless of shape, size, and colour.
