I moved a monster of a rock today! It felt soooo good! I leveraged and sweated and positioned and sweated and repositioned. I pushed myself beyond my conceivable strength.

We ride at midnight. #selflove #fire We reach a point along our journey that we will no longer tolerate unjust or harmful behaviors to ourself or others be them with individuals or within systems.
