Let's channel our energy
We feel grateful to be in California and especially San Francisco at this time of mass confusion. There is a lot of sunshine here but it is dark out there and there is work to do. My strong, awesome community of women : business owners, activists, witches, farmers, designers, artists, herbalists, psychics, teachers, students, midwives, mothers. Do not be overwhelmed or overcome. Let's put our powers and perseverance to work. What can WE do to spread the California dream?
Open ears and an open shop to talk, hug, cry, pray, dance or whatever you need to do.
We've outlined a long list of worthy causes and organizations to contribute time or dollars to. In this dark time, we can try to illuminate.
