random, cool health fact.

the average menstrual cycle for women is 29.5 days.
{not the textbook 28.}
do you know what else is 29.5 days?

the lunar cycle.
how rad is that?

sometimes i call my mom an earth mother
and this fact makes me truly believe that women's
qualities not only reach deep...to the roots of nature...
but are twinged with something ethereal as well.

it also makes me think of the collection of short stories
by isabel allende, 
eva luna,
which brings to mind sensual and strong females.


females fierce as mother nature.
