I took a hiatus of sorts. Since becoming a mom, including nursing and nurturing four children and losing one, I’ve tried to find the right balance.

Celebrating my Divine womanhood
I’m in my luteal phase, an important concept I only uncovered today. Since I’ve been feeling so seemingly crappy, and it’s not yet time for my ‘period’, I decided to pause and investigate.

HEAVEN AND EARTH
