Motherhood: A Call to Return to Joy.
We spend a lot of time, money and effort in this “civilized” society,
Contradicting-covering up all signs of having been a mother-So much value is put on the “resilience” of womanhood, that we’ve forgotten the importance of transformation.
See, sometimes it is better to move forward-and not to go back […]

We all have been where I am now. A million different reasons, circumstances and events have brought us each to the spot I have just stepped off of…on my way to where my choice will lead.
I’m talking about that feeling ladies-the one where we are BURSTING with something fresh, lovely, bold, intuitive, brazen or just […]

ONE AND THE SAME
By: Marcie Macari
There is a feeling waiting to escape from my depths-
It presses hard and upward- I swallow it down.
It isn’t that I don’t want to just “let fly”, or
