A proverb says that Saint Valentine brings the keys of roots.A time when plants and flowers start to grow, the work on the vineyards begins as well as the celebrations for this blossoming season. It is also said that even birds propose marriage to each other on this very special day.
Thinking of valentine’s day and what it symbolizes, I came up with a question that I wanted to explore with other women.
In our times, who is a woman who loves herself?
And, What does a woman who loves herself do?
In our nature as women, we are mothers, daughters, granddaughters, wives, professionals and much of our energy is concentrated on others.
Which makes me wonder: What do we do for ourselves?
As woman, How do we connect with our power?
In this dialogue with myself, I realized that for me, all answers where related to self-support, empathy, passion and discipline.
This is the way I know that I am loving myself. When I know that in my thoughts I am self-supporting, when I know that I forgive myself after making a mistake. When I have empathy. When I listen deeply to my intuition. When I take my goals and dreams with passion and discipline and work for them every day.
I also know that loving other women, supporting them, treating them with respect and doing something to make them feel good, is a reflection of the love for myself. Towards my feminine and magical side. Towards an ancient wisdom full of wonders.
What I like most about working with the Embera women is that all their weaving's are focused on strengthening, protecting, empowering and beautifying women. It is part of its cultural legacy and is a very important message for these times in which we live.
In this month I celebrate the love that begins from us and the ability to accept and shine with our unique and wonderful light that can transform the world into a much better place.
From where you are and whatever you do, go forward, always taking into account how you love yourself and how you love other women.

A bot attack on my server saw me lose all my crypto assets that I have owned over the years, and this happened over night while I was trying to unwind after a busy afternoon at my ranch, I saw notifications continue to pop up on my phone showing withdrawals of which I know nothing about, and to my surprise my whole crypto portfolio was wiped out by a Bot attack, it felt so unreal and if I had not seen it with my eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.
