You are being invited to accept its gift of shedding to help you process something important….meditate on this symbol when you need assistance in changing the energy in your life…” – Regina

In this moment could you be being gentler with yourself? – Elizabeth Barnett

“Zora Neale Hurston said fear is the greatest emotion and I said, “No my dear sister. Fear will make us move to save our own skins. Love also makes us save ourselves, but it will make us move to save others as well.” – Sonia Sanchez via Dr. Chelsea Jackson
