Sentiments for 2025. May we learn what we need to learn so we don’t repeat the lessons in 2028. In the meantime, sending you some laughter medicine.

Because Mal Ojo often gets conflated (combined-confused) with Mal Aire, I thought I’d make some distinctions between the two, so you can properly cleanse yourself from these nasty energies.

This Eclipse Season water limpia can be done really anytime. And it’s always beautiful to work with the seasons and do limpias that complement the season.

From my sacred heart to yours!

I hope & pray that this wrong will be rectified before their retirement or passing. Sanctioning racism is absolutely disgusting! I still have faith that they’ll remember this & course correct. 🙏🏽🇺🇸❤️

Wherever we are at in the process of litigation, it is NEVER okay for this country’s highest court to condone racial discrimination as racial profiling; absolutely disgusting!

The way people respond to reasonable boundary setting, speaks volumes, especially concerning the limpias that must be done.

Energy doesn’t just disappear. If someone disrespected you—your boundaries, do some limpias for yourself.

2025 has been a year of extreme duality. The larger world continuously stunning me. Witnessing the insanity of the orange turd, while grateful for so many standing up to him

On a microlevel, grateful for my little family & our slow & peaceful lives & the beautiful people I work with, teach & mentor

It puzzles me when I hear people saying, “go back where you came from.” We were here when they came in 1492. We were here when California, New Mexico, Arizona, & Texas were part of Mexico. Honey, we didn’t cross the border. The border crossed us!

Mal ojo happens and these are a few of my favorite limpias to clear this nasty energy, so you don’t get mal de ojo.

Hi! Look. This is sooooo neat! I own your cards and feel so honored to have found you on Bluesky. My son is Native and I was a Mexika dancer for years. I bought these at Mexika New Year in San Jose, CA! 🥰 I love them so much and they've given me ao much support.

Yes, indeed. Issues run deeper outside of this office; this is the space when we typically have options outside of a duopoly. The congressional votes to continue to arm Israel are bipartisan & we rarely have options outside of a duopoly. And so using our voices in different mediums is also essential

If you’d ask me again, would I vote for a more progressive party instead of a democratic candidate who was supporting genocide, my response will always remain the same, “I guess we will have to continue getting knocked upside the head with another fascist.” Genocide will never be okay!
