Sharing your love with partners, friends and family with wonderful, however we need reminders that self-love is also extremely important too. That we are more than enough. That we are powerful, multifaceted, amazing creatures all on our own. We ended January with a once in a lifetime astrological event, reminding us to reach for our dreams with reckless abandon.

"Our bodies are magical entities--made of the same materials that comprise the vast and mysterious universe. They transcend categorical assertions. All bodies are worthy. All bodies are good. Bodily "imperfection" is a myopic cultural concept used to bridle the limitless possibilities of human existence, of human love. The body is a metaphor for the cosmos." - Virgie Tovar, Many Moons 2018 Vol. 1
