If you’re bleeding this weekend, change the linen on your bed today.
Choose your favourite set: the one you love to press the backs of your shoulders into. A texture, a colour that says: climb in, beautiful one, and rest here now.
If you’re bleeding this weekend, take a long and deep breath.
Here with me now: in through the nose and two, three, hold…
then out —
and let this last cycle go.
If you’re bleeding this weekend, I want you to go to your cupboards.
Take to your fridge and to your freezer; we’re going to need supplies for meals that warm the belly and perhaps some tiny chocolate morsels that soothe the heart.
If you’re bleeding this weekend, I hope you can take a horizontal moment.
Whether your blood arrives with pain or bliss, or a little of both,
find a tree to sit by,
to bleed by, to be by.

More up on The Periodical (free to read, comment READ and I’ll share it with you) with my period playlist, books for your bleed, a hot chocolate recipe, my favourite womb oil and more. Link also in bio.
And if you’re not bleeding this weekend, save this for next time or send it to someone who is.
Big love,
