Living Locavore

seasons and cycles ... I started bleeding this morning. I’ve been tracking my menstrual cycle for a full year now! Everything they say is true - its a game changer. ... Living in awareness of my inner seasons, the lunar cycles, seasonal energies, and using tools like astrology and tarot - has shown me how to honour these natural rhythms and find my flow. ... ... This may sound vague, so I’ll give you two specific examples of how cycle tracking helps me plan: ... I schedule client meetings + social outings during my Follicular Phase when I’m feeling high energy, articulate + creative. ... I schedule as little as possible for Day 1 and give my body what it’s asking for - hydration, gentle movement, healthy food, rest and relaxation. ... It all begins with simply paying attention. ... So tell me! Are you tracking your inner seasons? Lunar cycles? Astrology?

Solstice December 21 ... I’m just feeling so much - as if the last decade has been compressed into this dark day and I’m drowning in it. ... I’m not going to keep all the digital balls spinning right now ... ... So it may be quiet here for a few more weeks. ... But I have so many ideas to share with you, stories to tell, and questions to ask. 2020 is going to see big transformations. ...
