CHOOSE AGAIN
Check in with yourself. Is this for the benefit of your purpose, is it for loving, is it necessary? Run a momentary check in within, listen for direction. No matter what choice you've made, it is absolutely okay to choose again. Everyday we are allowed to turn the ship, to steward our energies toward what is most connected within our being. You did not sign up for abuse, for things that are not for us. It is within you to empower decisions, to shift, to transform and to begin again. Tomorrow, yes, is a new day. Don't get caught somewhere, doing something that is hazardous to yourself and your community. CHOOSE AGAIN.
AWAKEN: THE TRUTH OF WHAT AND WHO YOU ARE
Whatever you are doing right now that isn't loving, therefore not true, and a waste of time, stop it. Do something loving, dance to the beat of a new tune. Get into the loving of your heart. We've been through a lot. It is time to consider there is another way. To take necessary actions with so much love. To connect to what you love, what is joyful, to what brings you into right relationship with your soul's code. It's time.
REMEMBER: WE HAVE SO MUCH LOVE. YOU ARE HERE TO SHARE IT.
The pain we sometimes feel is our experiences that don't allow us to fully express our loving. When you shift from a love as a precious commodity, to a love that is connected to all things. Our love is meant to flow, to be in relational expressing with our lives. We have arrived at the moments where we love our neighbors, because we are our neighbors, we are all interconnected. You are going to be alright. Find ways to let your loving flow.

LOVE ACTIVISM 💚🌱✨ A WAY FOR SWITCH
Perhaps the whole concept of sexual assault, violence against women, the controlling behavior, the blaming, the bullying, the sheer lack of self reflection and accountability prevalent across all our systems will transform as more and more women and men join together to shift, heal and transform this. The necessary work is going to the roots of the issues, to address, to atone and realign in radical consent and breakthrough all of the ways our system indoctrinates the abuses littered throughout our worlds. It is how we consider the possibilities, solutions emerge. Every way it comes up, don't agree with bs statements. Call them out. Take the time to refrain the paradigm. Do not get caught up in the pervasive violence throughout our words, laws, ideas and beliefs. CHOOSE AGAIN. Use every tool necessary to call it out, every time. We must stand together to eradicate, atone and transform the traumas, bias and abuse that liters every part of our worlds. If this is triggering in any way, consider getting involved in a trauma informed healing practice that decolonizes the violence from your body.
Consider Trauma-Informed Healing Practices to Address Sexual Assault and Intimate Partner Violence
The more you understand, the more you release the trauma through a bodily practice, the more you grow, the more healing you express, the more you connect to your intuitive decision making process, the more you engage in the necessary care and work the more care and work you receive. Feel it in your bones. Take the steps toward freedom at a cellular level. Take every moment to remember the truth. You are not to blame. You are here to thrive. You are a force of nature and no matter what may have happened to you. It is possible to stand up, connect to your heart and move on. If you here a calling of what is possible, listen. Welcome to the all systems love movement.

Kelsey Blackwell
From Kelsey - "Bodies are imperfect. I love how they creak and grumble. The tightness across our shoulders, the aching in our chest, that acorn in our throat, these are forms of communication -- communication pulling us towards liberation."
Somatic Experiencing International Practitioners
They support trauma resolution and resilience through culturally responsive professional education, training, research, and outreach in diverse global communities.

Decolonizing the Body: Indigenizing Our Approach to Disability Studies
If critical disability studies is to replace our traditional analyses and modes of intervention, then we must continue to approach dis/ability within the broader matrix of colonization, questioning and challenging the ways in which dominant power relations recognize, regulate, and govern our lifeways.

Some people would rather die than change their mind. Don’t be one of those people. Consider the possibility of what love would do. Take loving action.
Our work is healing at least, seven generations of our bodily traumas. Enjoy the process of healing no matter what you come up against. It is your time to remove all disease and practice the power of connection to your inner power. If a practice becomes redundant or you feel it isn't transforming at the cellular level, choose another, choose again, until you are humming with the divine love and wisdom of your very being...
Love, Mel
