Urban Goddess bows in reverence to ZORA!!!

While Zora Neale Hurston was born on this day in 1891, the pioneering author, anthropologist, and folklorist often claimed 1901 to be her birth year due to the gift of books she received at the age of ten that she said opened her mind to literature and represented her literary “birth.” Hurston grew up in Eatonville, Florida, an all-African American town formed following the U.S. Civil War. This gave her a unique viewpoint on the African American experience that clearly comes through in her writing. Hurston was a flamboyant figure in the Harlem Renaissance in the late 1920s. Later, she used her training in anthropology to collect and retell traditional folk stories from the many regions and countries, including the American South, Honduras, Jamaica, and Haiti.

Although she wrote published more than fifty short stories, plays, and essays as well as four novels, including her best-known novel, "Their Eyes Were Watching God," Hurston’s dialectical style fell out of favor with the literary world. Hurston might have fallen into complete obscurity following her death in 1960 were it not for the work of another African American writer, Alice Walker, whose 1975 Ms. Magazine article "In Search of Zora Neale Hurston," revived interest in Hurston’s incredible body of writing. The reemergence of Hurston's work coincided with the emergence of other female authors such as Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, and Walker herself, whose writing focused on the African American experience.

Fortunately, Hurston's true genius is now well-recognized and "Their Eyes Were Watching God" is considered an American literary classic. Through her life and legacy, she demonstrated the truth of her famous assertion: "A thing is mighty big when time and distance cannot shrink it."

For the first box set featuring ten of her classic works, we recommend the "Zora Neale Hurston Boxed Set" at https://amzn.to/34h59Pi -- or you can find all of her finest work in one volume at https://amzn.to/2LTjfsv

Gather and bless one another 🌹

Women in sacred circle blessing one another.

Women in sacred circle sharing the medicine.

Women in sacred circle creating sustainable wealth.

Women in sacred circle assuring that the Elders are well cared for, washing feet, feeding and welcoming their wisdom, power and grace.

Women in sacred circle ascending and co-creating.

Women in sacred circle planting seeds for the ”future” singing songs of how marvelous life is.

Women in sacred circle being sacred inhaling and exhaling sacred breath.

Not…. Tearing another sister down by spreading lies, rumors and gossip.

Not judging before you hear ”her side of the story” and walk in her shoes.

I pray that my words, thoughts, actions and presence always bring a blessing to your life. If you don’t feel the blessing and believe the opposite of me… please check your heart.

The Presence of Light and Love, moving through me, to me and as me…may negatively trigger you dramatically or melt your heart into a sacred puddle of love.

As we advance through the portals in time into the 2nd Earth…

As we advance through this Full Moon, Solstice, and New Year 2023…

As we advance far away from the dissolution of society, and the foul stench of decaying believes and systems….

I pray that those who choose to pass through… I pray you have the courage to shed the old cloak and catch up to…

Let Her Love pe*****te so you can remember exactly who you are.

Radiant. Whole. Divine.

Während der Schwangerschaft wandern die Zellen des Babys in den Blutkreislauf der Mutter und kehren dann in das Baby zurück, was als "fetal-mütterlicher Mikrochimärismus" bezeichnet wird.

41 Wochen lang zirkulieren und verschmelzen die Zellen und nach der Geburt des Babys bleiben viele dieser Zellen im Körper der Mutter und hinterlassen einen bleibenden Abdruck im Gewebe, in den Knochen, im Gehirn und in der Haut der Mutter, wo sie oft jahrzehntelang bleiben.
Jedes Kind wird einen ähnlichen Abdruck hinterlassen. Studien haben auch Zellen eines Fötus im Gehirn einer Mutter 18 Jahre nach der Entbindung nachgewiesen.

Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass, wenn das Herz einer Mutter verletzt wird, fetale Zellen zur Verletzungsstelle eilen und sich in verschiedene Arten von Zellen verwandeln, die auf die Reparatur des Herzens spezialisiert sind. Das Baby hilft, die Mutter zu reparieren, während die Mutter das Baby aufbaut. Das ist oft der Grund, warum bestimmte Krankheiten während der Schwangerschaft verschwinden.

Es ist unglaublich zu sehen, wie der Körper der Mutter das Baby um jeden Preis schützt und das Baby seine Mutter schützt und wieder aufbaut - damit es sich sicher entwickeln und überleben kann. Wenn Sie eine Mutter sind, wissen Sie, dass Sie Ihr Kind intuitiv spüren können, auch wenn es nicht da ist ...

Nun, jetzt gibt es einen wissenschaftlichen Beweis dafür, dass Mütter ihre Kinder über Jahre und Jahrzehnte hinweg tragen, sogar nachdem sie sie geboren haben.

When they want to play “midwife”

Benefits of the family bed.

‘I've been rocking and cuddling my baby to sleep since that day he was born. I mentioned this to a nurse at my clinic recently. She said that she did the same thing with her son, and everyone warned her that she would still have a teenager sleeping in her bed. And then she told me that, a few weeks ago, her teenage son came home from school very upset. He didn't want to talk, and just went to his room and listened to his music, typed on his phone and cried. The mother gave her son space, and night time came and she went to bed. Just as she was about to turn off her side light, the door opened, and her 15 year old padded into the room. He climbed into the bed with her, laid his head on her shoulder and cried. He told her all about the girl that broke his heart, all about the friends who laughed, all about the stresses of being him. She told him about her first broken heart, about friends who'd been cruel, and told him she understands. They talked in the dark for hours, until he feel asleep in her bed. Still sad but relieved after their talk.
'So you see' she said to me, when she finished the story. 'I was so scared that I wound wind up with a teenager who would 'need me' at night, that I never stopped to consider how beautiful that would really be.' 🌟
One of my favourite stories ever. Had to .

Moms are better moms when their kids have family members that come and pick them up for the day.

Moms are better moms when someone else cooks and cleans every now and then.

Moms are better moms when they get the sleep that they need.

Moms are better moms when their partner helps with the kids and chores without being asked.

Moms are better moms when they don’t have to feel guilty about wanting a break, being tired, feeling overwhelmed, or not wanting to play with their kids. I really wish people would just stop normalizing the idea that moms are supposed to be this never ending driving force of productivity and start realizing that being a mom is the hardest job and gets the least amount of credit. Most of us are doing the best we can. I think all of us would be doing better if wanting a break from momming wasn’t something to feel ashamed about. “You’re a mom, you signed up for this. You get to hang out with your kids all day.” but really you’re saying “I don’t care about your mental health or emotional needs” and how the HELL do you expect a mother to be her very best at all times when she is pouring from an empty cup she keeps asking for a small pause so she can get a refill, but nobody can hear her?

“A woman’s body is a bridge between two worlds. Within a woman’s body, there exists a direct link to the source of creation. Thus, the energy of the feminine connects us to divine knowledge and guides that knowledge through the body in direct correlation to the heart. Feminine energy is expansive, intuitive, creative, and life-affirming. The feminine is the keeper of intuition and the translator of heart-based wisdom.”

Happy black history month!

We are showcasing different black birth workers to share the rich history, we hope you enjoy.

Mrs. Mary Coley

Coley pursued a career in midwifery at a time of increased scrutiny and regulation and during an era when public resources were invested in the expansion of hospitals and obstetric care rather than the midwifery model of care. Although increased surveillance of midwifery practice cut in half the number of midwives between 1930-50 (dropping from 3000 to 1,322), Coley went on to provide a range of birth and family services across Georgia for more than three decades. As an African American, she advocated for the health of Georgia's black population and was known for her willingness to work with women regardless of race in a time of segregation. It is estimated that she delivered over 3,000 babies in her career,and she offered additional services to families such as assistance in cooking, cleaning, child-minding, laundering, and helping new parents file official forms and birth certificates. She was known affectionately by her patients as "Miss Mary".

Rest in Eternal Mind, Oh venerable one, Thich Nhat Hanh, thank you, thank you thank you. 🙏🏽🕊🙏🏽

For me, there is no happiness without freedom, and freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves. I will share with you how we get greater freedom for ourselves. During the time that we sit, walk, eat, or work outside, we cultivate our freedom. Freedom is what we practice e
