Coolest Gift Ever!

I just received in the mail an amazing and fun gift from Tishi because I successfully completed her 30 day meditation challenge! Here is a picture:

It's a uterus!!! It's from www.iheartguts.com, and I love it!!! The tag says: "When it's that time of the month, you may not like your uterus much, but hey, you wouldn't be here without one, so give props to this special reproductive organ. Besides, if you think cramps are bad, you should try childbirth." Thanks Tishi, I will cherish it always! It makes me smile just looking at it - what a happy uterus!!!
