“I will remember your small room, the feel of you, the light in the window, your records, your books, our morning coffee, our noons our nights, our bodies spilled together, sleeping, the tiny flowing currents, immediate and forever, your leg my leg, your arm my arm, your smile and the warmth of you who made me laugh again.”
—Charles Bukowski

I hope you all realize and know you are beautiful, and life is beautiful and if you ever need help with anything, please come to me. Stay well my children, my sisters, my brothers.

what helped you discover your spirit animal within?
Just Knowing! Senses, meditating, dreams, and connections with the animal. Are you looking to discover yours?

Hello dear, might you have a remedy for migraines? I've had a non-stop migraine for the past week and nothing the doctors are giving me work. xox peace and love
I rarely get migraines but when I do they are absolutely terrible! Since I’m not a pill-taker, I normally just pull through it. Get some essential oils - lavender, eucalyptus, rosemary or peppermint work wonders and rub them on your chest in small quantity. My sister got a ton of them and did something with Cayenne pepper but I’m not exactly sure what! I know she changed her diet, which caused less migraines. Take a bathe, close your eyes, and make yourself some tea (with honey if you’d like)! Also, try some cool water on your forehead and make sure it’s nothing serious from the doctor! You could also try a lapis lazuli stone, if you have one around because they work well with head aches. Meditating and yoga may lead to less migraines too!

“Then, Éowyn of Rohan, I say to you that you are beautiful. In the valleys of our hills there are flowers fair and bright, and maidens fairer still; but neither flower nor lady have I seen till now in Gondor so lovely, and so sorrowful. It may be that only a few days are left ere darkness falls upon our world, and when it comes I hope to face it steadily; but it would ease my heart, if while the Sun yet shines, I could see you still. For you and I have both passed under the wings of the Shadow, and the same hand drew us back.”
—J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
