“All the eggs a woman will ever carry form in her ovaries while she is a four-month-old fetus in the womb of her mother.

This means our cellular life as an egg begins in the womb of our grandmother.

Care moves us away from blame and towards solutions. Care makes space for identifying misunderstandings and finding common ground.

I recently posted on Facebook about wanting a culture of compassion at school, after my child got in trouble at school for caring about her friend. During recess my daughter noticed her friend sitting by herself on the steps of the school crying, and waiting for her dad to pick her up after bein
