“We are honoring the light,” she would tell us, and “today we celebrate its return.” Happy Solstice! My mother, Fonda Joy, was a trailblazer, a woman before her time. Knowing the importance of earth medicine, she taught us to understand our surroundings well and recognize the magic within us and all around us. I am grateful for her powerful spirit and consistent lessons, as they were clear, courageous, and timeless.
Honor your voice – it’s not healthy to hold it in – speak your truth.
Know Your body, love your body It’s Your body – it is Your choice
Eat organic and local whenever possible Food can be medicine or poison.
Sugar is evil; stay away from it.
Stand tall (“back straight and titties up”)
Move your body every day.
There are messages from the earth; spend time with her and listen.
Know that everything is connected; the animals, the people, the earth, the moon, the stars, and the galaxies.
Keep creating – there is life there
Love Big – Love is always the answer
I have missed her since the age of 12, knowing nothing else; I have embraced her lessons and a life without her physical presence. Every day, I welcome her loving spirit. 💫🙏🏼Blessed and grateful.🙏🏼💫
