When my youngest was born, I asked the doctor if I could pull him out myself. Going through all that labor, reaching down and feeling him in my hands, pulling him out of the birthing canal without any help, and placing him on my bare chest alone was one of the most joyous moments of my life. I felt like I could do anything.
I had been getting into herbalism for a while, and one day I realized I’m a green witch, and posted it, and felt like I stepped into my personal power, which has taken me years to do. That was a good day.
When I scrimped and saved for 5 years after losing the previous house in the Recession to buy my current home and pay it off 8 years later by my 46th bday.
When I finally got the strength to leave my cheating, emotionally and financially abusive partner of ten years. I felt proud of myself as a disabled woman as well, tbh. 🙌
When I got divorced, at a meeting with my soon to be ex, he said he couldn’t afford to buy me out of the house so we’d have to sell it super cheap. I just calmly said “oh, that’s OK. I’ll buy you out”. He slammed his hands down and stormed out. The mediator just looked at me in astonishment at his behavior.
When I realized our bodies can nurture another life—and that mitochondria are only passed down through the maternal line—it hit me: a woman’s mitochondria can be passed on to her daughters, and their daughters after them. It’s like a little piece of her lives on, generation after generation.
