Meet the Goddesses of Star Essence
As many of you know, Roslyn came in 2 years ago and saved the day, and—after a little universal nudge (aka a broken wrist, reminding her to slow down)—spent six months training Satya and Karla. Now, she's happily soaking up the sun in Florida, ready for visits whenever we need a dose of warmth!
So here we are:
 Satya & Karla – Our operations goddesses, handling shipping, bottling, and customer service. (They also do Kirtan, one of my very favorite things! - so it's a match made in heaven.)
 Barbara – Our technical guru goddess, (and much more) who recently traveled all the way from Kansas to help with our new computer setup and some other tech magic. Barbara has been supportive to me and to Star Essence for over 25 years, starting in Santa Barbara.
 
Happy Hearts! ❤️
I love February—Valentine's Day sits right at its heart, a perfect reminder to embrace love in all forms.

A Poetic Invitation to Self-Love 
As we embrace this season of love, let's remember the most important love of all—the love we offer ourselves. In the spirit of deep self-acceptance and renewal, we share this beautiful poem by Derek Walcott, "Love After Love"—a gentle reminder to return home to ourselves, to embrace the fullness of who we are, and to love the one who has been with us all along.
Take a moment, breathe it in, and feast on your life.

LOVE AFTER LOVE
by Derek Walcott
The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
