I’m going all in on my solo pleasure and introspection! Making plant-based food for myself and my loved ones, doing some microdosing, sitting in hot baths, releasing all my old stuff through movement and sweating, praying to the water and to the fire, sitting with joy and grief, caring for my animals and my plants, and drinking lots of water.

I feel in my queen powers wearing this beautiful art piece by B.Yellowtail. When I leave the house I wear a mask, but I mostly stay in. I’ve been feeling very drawn to making traditional foods. It’s like a language that is passed down from the ancestors, generation after generation. I want to learn about ALL the food languages. Started with dumplings, persimmon breads, and now moving on to vegan tamales! I love the feeling of masa in my hands.

As I am on earthside, I recognize that so many of our loved ones are crossing over at this time due to COVID, and I sit with the heartbreak and deep grief of it. I long for a collective way for us to grieve together when we can do so safely. The rage of injustice burns bright in my heart, and I’m finding ways to tend to that fire so that I’m ready when it’s time to do something about it. I send virtual hugs to all of you and wishes that you may find some time to go inward.
