Day 38 of My 40 Day Fast: Dear Gen Z and Alpha, Partying Is Overrated
In my late teens and 20s the trend was to get drunk beyond oblivion. Hangovers were simply warrior wounds to power through. This partying lifestyle was in the music we were listening to, and in the music videos we watched.

Day 37 of My 40 Day Fast: Why Does Nature Gross Me Out?
I used to run around outdoors barefoot as a child. We had a gravel driveway and running up and down it with no shoes didn't even make me wince.

Day 36 of My 40 Day Fast: Finally Accepting My ‘Wild Frizzy’ Hair

Day 34 of My 40 Day Fast: Weed and Spirituality
My journey with weed has been a ride, and it’s taught me a lot. I love weed. I love how it makes me feel. Weed laughs and giggles are to live for. However, I understand that weed can become toxic when it begins to take control of you. This is hard to recognize when you’re consumed by it.

Day 33 of My 40 Day Fast: How I Raise My Vibe
I am not an expert on raising one's vibration. How we raise our vibration looks different for everyone. We are unique, and we don't all like the same things. This is what works for me.

Day 32 of My 40 Day Fast: What Is Inner Work?
Inner work is the process of self-awareness, such as figuring out what makes you tick, what your triggers are, what walls you’ve put up around yourself, etc. Inner work involves healing wounds within yourself you’ve been carrying since childhood. The process is different for everyone.

Day 31 of My 40 Day Fast: I Realize the Impracticality of Women Staying in the Home
One of my previous posts, What Would Happen if Women Stayed Home, has me in reflection. Women can’t stay out of the workforce because a lot of us have to work, myself included. You can read what I wrote by clicking on the story below.

Day 29 of My 40 Day Fast: What Would Happen if Women Stayed Home?
Some women are born with a purpose, and they will be called to fulfill their destiny. They may contribute to the world in a significant way, or even make a ground-shaking discovery. The reality is most of us are out here doing administrative work, and it’s unfulfilling.

Day 28 of My 40 Day Fast: Why Women Need to Stay Home
I am not a brainwashed woman trying to take the rest of us back to the dark ages. I know how the title sounds, but there is a deeper meaning behind it.

Day 27 of My 40 Day Fast: The Importance of Soap Is a Lie
A week into my fast I felt guided to stop cleansing with soap, shampoo/conditioner, even laundry detergent. I had to refrain from putting any moisturizing products on my face, lips, and body. I even had to stop putting contact lenses into my eyes. My guess is that the skin, scalp, and eyeballs absorb everything that goes onto it into the body, and I’m meant to keep this fast as pure as possible.
