In this month’s guest blog, Mel talks about bridging the wisdom between her Native roots, her background in restoration ecology, and health-supportive botanicals. She talks about skin health, the power of calendula, hyperpigmentation, and her inspiration for starting to make (and sell) her own botanical products. And she gives a coupon code! Don’t miss it.
I think about the things I demand from my body, soul, heart. I often put my personhood into situations that may be at the brink of my capacity. The maximum limit of strain on our bodies is not the same thing as our threshold for comfort. Identifying those two points as separate things can help us to understand our limits.
There is healing in hope. Maybe that’s the thing that I’m forgetting right now: And there is meaning beyond what we can see and research in our laboratories. So, like my pet rescue birds I had when I was a kid, we just need to keep going and hoping and creating conditions for healing. And hopefully our bodies and hearts and spirit will do the rest.
