Ditching the lone warrior myth, real power comes from sisterhood
Right now, more than ever, women need each other, not in theory, but in tangible, heart-centered connection. We’ve spent too long holding the weight alone, believing that needing support means we’ve failed. What if instead we embraced community as our source of true power?
Every week in my Patreon community I do a card pull from a deck. The card deck I'm using right now is called the Feminine Wisdom Oracle. This week's card was the Grounding Card. Yes, it talks about being in the here and now and uses a tree as a symbol. With the branches reaching out and the roots spreading wide underground, which creates its strength, it's no wonder this card is used as a symbol for grounding.
But what if there is a whole lot more to this? Trees are a part of an underground community that offers and receives support not just from other trees, but also other living species. They support each other unconditionally, taking care of each ...

This morning I was reading one of my favorite books about wildcrafting, Wild Remedies by Rosalee de la Foret. It's a great beginning book about herbalism and this is the third time I’m reading it. There was a part where she is talking about having a sitting spot to observe nature and I started to think about it, I’ve always had a sitting spot. When I was a kid it was at the shore of Long Island at the peer on Cedar Beach. When I lived near Syracuse NY it was at the shore of a lake in a town park.
