Greetings to all my precious people!!

You are Cassandra.

You know what your family needs. You sense what your workplace needs. You can feel what the world needs.

But when you speak, your words fall flat.

Not because you're wrong. You're usually right. But because women's voices - our knowing, our intuition, our prophecy - have been denigrated and dismissed for centuries.

This is the Cassandra Curse.

And if you've ever felt it, if you've ever known something deeply, spoken it clearly, and watched everyone ignore you, then you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Greetings to all my precious people!!

Your body is screaming.

Maybe not literally. Maybe not yet. But if you've been ignoring the whispers - the exhaustion, the weight that won't budge, the insomnia, the pain, the cycles that feel chaotic, the rage that surfaces before your period - then the scream is building.

Marion Woodman knew this. She spent her life working with women's bodies and psyches, and she noticed something devastating: We listen to our pets more intelligently than we listen to our own bodies.

We notice when the cat is off. We take the dog to the vet at the first sign of trouble. We cherish them, attend to them, read their signals.

But our own bodies? We despise them. We ignore them. We override them. We demand they perform.

And when they finally scream - via illness, through crisis, or in the midst of a “breakdown,” we're shocked.

How did this happen? Why didn't I see it coming?

You did see it coming. Your body told you. You just weren't listening.

Greetings to all my precious people!!

We've reached the end of February. The Fire Horse year is eleven days old and already you can feel it—the acceleration, the intensity, the demand for truth.

This month, we've been preparing for this moment:

Week 1: INTUITION — You learned to trust your body's knowing. Head, heart, gut—three centers of intelligence. Your body knows before your mind can prove it.

Week 2: OBSERVATION — You learned to see clearly. To discern YOUR truth from the conditioning you inherited. To recognize when you're seeing through someone else's eyes vs. your own.

Week 3: WOMEN'S BODIES AS TEACHERS — You reclaimed your cycles as wisdom. Menstruation as winter, ovulation as summer, the full spectrum of feminine energy. Wild Woman rising. The Crone claiming her power.

This week—the final week—we complete the arc:

LIVING FROM SOURCE.

Even if you’re an omnivore, mixing in plant-based proteins can be a game-changer for your health, variety, and sustainability. Plant proteins — like beans, lentils, chickpeas, tofu, tempeh, edamame, quinoa, nuts, and seeds — provide essential amino acids, fiber, vitamins, and minerals that complement animal proteins. Rotating plant-based options into meals can support digestion, heart health, and blood sugar balance while helping reduce overall saturated fat intake. Plus, plant proteins bring exciting flavors and textures, keeping your meals fresh and creative.
