my period started friday, so i'm in the hut and not quite enjoying it...
the first couple of days are painful, sometimes to the point of waking up at 3 am and rushing downstairs, downing some h20 and aleve and wrapping myself in warm blankets and holding my abdomen in some relative pain.

But it's what grounds me and makes me realize that I can't ignore the fact that I'm a woman, female, girl, lady, goddess, amazon (as my mother fondly calls me) and a giver to life. I guess I'm saying, by reading other's posts in this community...I'm beginning to learn to love my body more and accept it. I'm accepting the fact that I hold a gift that, at times, is a pain in the arse. But is grounding. And comforting in a painful and odd way.

I'm happy to be a part of this community.
