Stills, a Scene, and a Short Story. Freya was a warrior at heart before becoming a warrior of bow. After watching the murders of her sister and mother during an unexpected raid on her village as a teenager, she took to the forest and lost contact with the world, knowing she would never truly be safe until she acquired the skills to protect not only herself, but also others.

A collection of Poems on Emptiness, the substance of all life that is unimaginably full. I re-found these in an old journal I was flicking through :) ~ It is in stillness. It is in silence.

How clean, conscious eating and intermittent fasting helped free my mind from limiting beliefs and my body unlock higher clarity, energy and joy! When I was young I was sick a lot. I have an extremely sensitive stomach and system that reacts severely against anything remotely toxic, but when I was younger, I didn't understand this.

Everywhere you look, someone's doing yoga. But why? Why are you doing it? It is not a secret that it's true meaning has been diluted in many Western practices of the Ancient art. Say Yoga was a tree; the fit, toned, nimble body you might be stoked about would be one of the leaves. Just one. A flimsy bi-product. Your sense of connection with yourself and the healing you might feel each time you hold a pose long enough for a deep emotion to rise and release; the branches. The s
