Intro- Where do Queens?

• Where do Queens do what they do?
• • Where do they collaborate?
  • • Where their heart is lit up
    • Queens make their space feel homey, no matter where the space is
    • Warm, loving energy in the environment should match the energy inside
  • Where do Queens heal?
  • • In intimate community with someone else
  • Where do Queens express themselves?
  • • Everywhere. The minute you start stifling your expression, your voice, you're dimming your light. 
  • Where do Queens learn?
  • • In every aspect of our lives
    • Seek out people to teach us who are further along than we are
    • Again, community
  • Where do Queens create?
  • • You're always creating. The moment that you pick up the brush, or the pen, or the camera, then you're expressing. But you're always creating
    • Live life like a sustainable farmer: rotate your fields. It saves the soil.
    • • Sometimes, a field needs to be burned and left for a while, so the soil can regenerate.
      • • So much is happening underneath the soil when it seems to just be dead
        • When it's ready, new seeds can be planted for harvest
    • Let yourself die. Because the transformation is radical. Every time.

Kara Ladd interview

• How has being a survivor of cancer impacted your life now, a few years out of treatment?

Q&A : Why should I avoid coffee?

• https://www.floliving.com/3-reasons-why-women-cant-drink-coffee/
• Caffeine causes cyst formation in the breast and ovaries
• Cafffeine is broken down by the enzyme CYP1A2
• • 90% of the population only make a little bit of this enzyme, and can't break down caffeine well.
• Caffeine increases infertility rates
• • 3 cups of coffee a day consumed by women or men increases the risk of miscarraige by 74%
  • Caffeine depletes the body of micronutrients that are essential for hormone balance
• What do I use to replace coffee?
• • Dandelion root, my favorite brand is "Dandy Blend."

Moment of Flow

"Burning Lights" by Chloé Cofresí

 

I have sailed across time to find you

I live in you

The flower that grows

The seed never knew 

Time warps the story

Changes the players

Cuts and punches

Collapsed in the corner 

On the bed

In my life

Breath comes in

And I'm more than a player

 

The view is worth the time

Breathe now

She shadows me in Wisdom

And I am lit

 

I walk with Time

Make myself the honey trap 

No one is gonna tell

What's mine to show

I stand on a cracking city block

But I feel Mi Tierra under my feet

The salt from food trucks

Is El Mar in my nose

That's not a train racing by

It's El Viento ripping through trees

 

The view is worth the time

Breathe now

She shadows me in Wisdom

And I am lit

 

I cross this ocean 

Flooded by their stories

I've sailed across time

Chased it, cursed it, mastered it

Know Her Secret?

Time is always and now

Keep breathing, see all of now

Stop breathing, see always

 

The view is worth the time

Breathe now

She shadows me in Wisdom

And I am lit
