2020 is the year for new happenings and connections and celebrating all those women who are linking up to challenge taboos and highlight the wonder and reality that is menstruation , having our monthlies and knowing our bodies and how amazing they are.

Tessa Venuti Sanderson has written and illustrated a treasure of a book which turns all those boring puberty text books on their heads! Check out her amazing website www.cyclicalwisdom.com
Had a great conversation with Tessa this week about our books Ruby Luna’s Curious Journey and Making Pink Lemonade

Delighted that Rachael Crow from www.moontimes.co.uk is using my book Making Pink Lemonade in her mum and daughter menstruation celebration groups. Check out her incredible range of eco menstrual products and online courses to inspire and guide you through the phases of girl and womanhood.
On just the day I needed it, my much-looking-forward to, copy of Creatrix by Lucy Pearce arrived in the post.What does it mean to live in a service to your creativity and in direct connection to the creative source?So looking forward to finding out!

With personal experiences from Lucy Pearce , Rachael Crow from Moontimes ( see above) and other Creatrixes, the true reality of the practical process of creating something and the nurturing of the soul ,help to light the way
A GRAND DAY OUT BY THE SEA
Brighton at its best Friday just gone with Laurika. Bluest of skies, bracing wind, lashing waves, plum tart and chips on the pier, no proper tea obviously and a must see tourist attraction visit to newly opened, The Feminist Bookshop on Upper North Street. Fantastic collection of adult and childrens new and old feminist classics, coffee and cake if you need it and a haven of a reading room downstairs. So perfect I thought I must have dreamt it up! As I queued up to buy Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde , there in fornt of me were the women who ran the Silver Moon Bookshop – a feminist bookshop that used to be on Charing Cross Road in. London.The torch has been handed over- hurrah!
