Good morning, beautiful.

This week, our theme is wise words.

Each meditation is created around a quote from an incredible woman, and will give you the space to sit with these wise words and see what they mean for you. I hope these words inspire you and connect you deeper to yourself, and other women in your life.

BELL HOOKS WISE WORDS MORNING MEDITATION SCRIPT

So close your eyes,

Soften your face,

Drop your shoulders,

And relax your arms and legs.

PAUSE…

Breathe…

And feel your body release any tension or pressure with every breath out.

PAUSE…

And then be here.

Relaxed.

Open.

Present.

PAUSE…

Author and activist, bell hooks said, “I will not have my life narrowed down. I will not bow down to somebody else’s whim or to someone else’s ignorance.”

LONG PAUSE…

“I will not have my life narrowed down. I will not bow down to somebody else’s whim or to someone else’s ignorance.”

LONG PAUSE…

Namaste, Beautiful

However, some features of the website may not function properly if the ability to accept cookies is disabled.

What about Google?

Google’s advertising requirements can be reviewed through Google’s Advertising Principles. They are put in place to provide a positive experience for users.
We have not enabled Google AdSense on our site but we may do so in the future.

Are we in compliance with the California Online Privacy Protection Act?
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared.
According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:

Users can visit our site anonymously.

Our Privacy Policy is accessible through a link on our home page or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website.

Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’ and can easily be found as specified above.
You will be notified of any Privacy Policy changes on our Privacy Policy Page.

You can change your personal information by emailing us.


Do we comply with COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.

What is our Fair Information Practice?

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. To be in line with Fair Information Practices we will notify you via email within 72 hours, as feasible, should a data breach occur:
We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

Do we comply with the CAN SPAM Act?

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes specific requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.
In compliance with this act, we collect your email address in order to:

Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.

Process orders and to send information and updates pertaining to orders.

Send you additional information related to your product and/or service

Market to our mailing list or continue to send emails to our clients after the original transaction has occurred.
To be in accordance with CANSPAM, we agree to the following:

Avoid use of false or misleading subjects or email addresses.

Identify the message as an advertisement in some reasonable way.

Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters.

Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.

Honor opt-out/unsubscribe requests quickly.

Allow users to unsubscribe by using the link at the bottom of each email.

Data protection laws give you the right to request erasure, to object to processing or to withdraw consent. If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can follow the instructions at the bottom of each email and we will promptly remove you from all correspondence. There is no fee for us to do this for you.
