Your body is a natural system

Have you ever thought of your body as a natural system? As Earth Warriors we dedicate a lot of time and energy to preserving the Earth's natural systems so that life is supported, but all too often we don't do the same for our own bodies so that our own life (and that world we're [...]

A Love Note

Today is Valentines day, and it's the first one in my 34 years that I've actually had a boyfriend. Crazy huh! Not that either of us are into the whole thing. I'm definitely not expecting chocolates. But I know the pain of feeling alone, and even if you try not to pay attention to days [...]

Guts

Guts: a noun meaning entrails but also a verb meaning courage. Not a coincidence.

There's more to this story, as the gut is related to a lot of emotions. Take these [...]

Belly breaths

  Last week I wrote about the connection between the gut and the brain, and how all kinds of unpleasant malarkey can go on up there when our tummies are out of whack. I didn't even mention that 90% of the serotonin in our bodies is actually in out gut! As Earth Warriors we face [...]

Upset tummies making upset minds

I ate milk the other week. I know, fascinating right? It was hiding in the mashed potato. A couple of hours later I was crying because my problems became unsolvable and hopeless. A couple more hours and there was an unpleasant and rapid evacuation of the contents of my gut, and I was happy again. [...]

You are enough

A few weeks ago I wrote a blog about a particular tree I love to talk to for advice, and when I asked what to pass on to you dear Earth Warrior what popped into my head was "you are enough. You are being enough, you are doing enough, you are enough." Good one, tree. Ever since [...]
