Nature always reminds me that life goes on. Whether it's a rough, dark time or a smooth, clear blue time of ease. Can we be vast, like the ocean, and allow all of our feelings, all of our beingness to be, just as they are? Like Ocean.
Spotlight On: Cocoa Butter
It is one of the richest oils available and is ideal for dry or mature skin. It has emollient properties which means it makes your skin soft and supple. When blended into skin care products, it creates a rich creamy texture which feels amazing. It also contains fatty acids, which improve skin moisture retention and elasticity and is effective in easing skin problems such as eczema or psoriasis. It can clog pores so it's better to use a little less or avoid using on the face if you have acne prone or sensitive skin. It is edible and because it is pure, natural cocoa, smells like chocolate!

Forgive Yourself
Today’s lesson: Forgive yourself. We so often forget to be kind and understanding with ourselves. It’s one of our self care / self love practices for the new year that we are trying to remember to do on a daily basis.
A wise woman once said...
Anthony Bourdain
We mourn the loss of friends, family and each person lost to the dark abyss of depression and mental illness. ;
You are not alone. Please please please if you need help, say something to someone. We need your light and your voice in the world. @800273talk

Maybe you know someone who’s struggling in the darkness right now. Check in with your people. Ask how your loved ones are and really listen. And follow up, even if it feels weird or like you’re bugging them. 💞We Love You💞

Let the soft animal
"You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves..."
