Mind Your Womb – by Nadirah Angail
This is a powerful blog written by Nadirah Angail. When we reach across the boundaries and inject our opinions, thoughts, wishes where they are not asked for, we risk a deep wounding experience. Allow each woman her journey and stand as her defender, her sister, her support. Then we have the right to call her name and hold her hand.

Be Born Again – Literally
Did you know that every cell in your body is replaced every seven years? It’s true—at the cellular level, the oldest you get is about seven years old. I remember years ago hearing Deepak Chopra speak about this. He said that the only reason we keep creating the same body—or one that seems to deteriorate with age—is that we keep thinking the same thoughts over and over again.
