A tender-enough haircut

Hairdresser David pointed out a neglected area on the head, emphasizing the need to integrate it into haircuts. This idea resonates with my reading of "Addicted to Love" by Jan Geurtz, where rejecting parts of ourselves only perpetuates self-rejection. Reflecting on childhood experiences of rejection, I discovered the importance of accepting and integrating these aspects, fostering self-love and softening the impact of perceived flaws.

Why One Medicine Woman is no longer an Alternative Life

I shared a photo of my daughter playing with a drill, and it made me realize how my father's encouragement to be self-reliant shaped me. He gifted me a toolbox, which became incredibly useful. During my first pregnancy, I discovered Ayurveda and its empowering teachings for self-care. Now, I believe that physical and mental health should be the norm, not an alternative. I aim to make alternative healthcare the everyday norm and contribute to a more meaningful collective experience.

About love & awareness

Love and awareness, often dismissed as clichés, hold immense power. Inspired by James' reflection, I had a profound personal experience. Embracing all seasons of love, just like nature does, brought presence and self-love. Join me on this transformative journey. Let's share and make it real.

VULNERability

Embracing strengths and weaknesses, I reflect on self-understanding and the desire for gentleness. The comment on my Instagram photo reminded me of my Romanian heritage and the need for soft vulnerability. Amidst the challenges, practicing self-love brings much-needed softness. The shared photo symbolizes wrinkles, wisdom, and hope for gentleness. Join me in nurturing our ability to be vulnerable in these distant times.
