24.01.2022 May you fall madly in love this year ... In love with someone who unhinges your tired trajectory, In love with a spouse of several years who might be aching for lightning,... In love with demanding children and crazy relatives ... In love with the particular pedigree of genius insanity that has perhaps claimed you in spite of your reluctance ... And certainly in love with an animal, a cloud, a redwood, the wild ... these at least once a day. May you fall in love with this fragile jewel of a world, with hard work, real learning, just causes, petitioning and prayers. May you fall in love with wonder itself, with the grand mystery, with all that feeds you in order that you may live ... And with the responsibility that that confers. May you fall in love with heartbreak and seeing how it's stitched into everything. May you fall in love with the natural order of things and with tears, tenderness and humility. May this be a magnificent year for you. May you fall deeply, madly, hopelessly, inextinguishably in love. - Rachelle Lamb Photo: Pinterest

14.01.2022 It was not witches who burned. It was women. Women who were seen as; Too beautiful, Too outspoken,... Had too much water in the well (yes, seriously), Who had a birthmark, Women who were too skilled with herbal medicine, Too loud, Too quiet, Too much red in their hair, Women who had a strong nature connection, Women who danced, Women who sang, or anything else, really. Any woman was at risk of burning in the 1600’s. Sisters testified and turned on each other when their babies were held under ice. Children were tortured to confess their experiences with witches by being fake executed in ovens. Women were held under water and if they could float, they were guilty and executed. If they sank and drowned they were innocent. Women were thrown off cliffs. Women were put in deep holes in the ground. Why do I write this? Because knowing our history is important when we are building a new world. When we are doing the healing work of our lineages and as women. To give the women who were slaughtered a voice, to give them redress and a chance of peace. It was not witches who burned. It was women. - Fia Forsström (Excerpt) Engraving by R. Brend’Amour La Illustracion Iberica, 1885

11.01.2022 To The Girl Who Deserves Better (From A Man, With Love) Look at you, you’re a beautiful mess. Sure the ending wasn’t the one you wanted, but we can blame the movies, the fairy tales and the make-believes for getting our hopes up and believing in the ever-so-popular cliche of happy ever after. Keep your head up, you’re stronger than that. Let the tears flow, but don’t let your tiara fall. This isn’t the end of your fabled love story. In fact, it’s a new chapter.... In a world where reality will slap your greatest fantasies, perhaps this is a wake-up call. A wake-up call that you deserve someone better than that frog you kissed that never turned into a prince. It’s time to write a new story, one that you’ll be proud you flipped the page on and turned into something legendary. And now is the right time, my dear. You have to believe that you deserve better. Forget the guy who took you for granted. Forget that sorry ass of a man for not treating you the way you deserve to be treated. It’s his loss, and someday he’ll realize what he had, but it’s a little too late now. Listen carefully my dear because this is very important. In order to believe you deserve better, you have to make sure that the next man who’ll walk into your life deserves you. It’s about knowing your self-worth. Who you are, what you can do, and how much you can give. This is the perfect time to rebuild yourself. Go out there and explore the world. Do what makes your heart flutter. Learn from the past mistakes and gain wisdom during the process so that the next time a man comes to sweep you off your feet, you won’t fall. You’ll stand up, head-high and proud of who you are and what you have become. It is you and only you who entirely knows what you deserve. And I’m sure once you’ve realized your self-worth, you won’t even bother trying to settle for less like you did before. He’s not worth your tears, the 3am thoughts, hell he doesn’t deserve a place in your palace. So pick yourself back up again and believe me, the right guy will come along and prove to you why he not only deserves a chapter in your book, he deserves to be the title. Sincerely, Someone who believes that you deserve to be happy. - Arvin Faustino Photo: Pinterest

11.01.2022 Can I tell you a secret? You don't have to be in a relationship. I mean it. I know they force it down your throat until you choke on it. Girls aren't pretty unless they're wanted. Boys aren't men unless they're having sex with someone.... People aren't lovable until they're dating someone. But a relationship won't always make you happy, and as wonderful as romance is, it isn't the only love that exists. I have seen friendships that are deeper and more pure than couples who swear it's forever - and yet the friendship is the one people ignore. I have heard so often nobody loves me out of the mouths of people who are single. And it kills me because if you ask them: where are your parents, your teachers, your classmates, your pets - they say, yes, okay, but it doesn't count. Of course it counts, love doesn't diminish just because someone doesn't want to have sex with you. In fact, doesn't it sort of make that love more real that they want nothing - not even a date - out of you? It's pretty to be in love. It's magical, I'm sure. But it's also wonderful to stop for ice cream in your prom dress with six other girls. It's also wonderful to go visit the world with nothing but a bunch of buddies who are really excited about learning. The problem is: we've made everything about the one. But maybe the one is just you, loving yourself, having fun, and being happy. Maybe instead of looking for our other halves, we should be piecing ourselves together. Maybe I wasn't born unfinished. Maybe I am the one who makes myself better. - TheMindsJournal | Single Serving Size aka inkskinned Art: nuvolanevicata

10.01.2022 No one told me how much of life was just survival mode. Some told me it would be amazing (and it is!) and some told me it would be hard (and it is!) and some told me to lean in or dig deep ... But no one told me how a lot of the time you just have to hold on, a white knuckled death grip the only thing standing between being here and drifting off like an untethered balloon towards madness or the heavens, same diff. My mother used to say sometimes one day at a time is too much... and then it's one hour at a time, or even one minute. Maybe I'm weaker than her but I've amended it to one breath at a time and used that to move through whole piles of days on end where it wasn't pretty and it wasn't elegant but it was one foot in front of the other and breathe in, breathe out, keep going. It was survival mode. I know this time of year is a reset for a lot of us and there are a lot of lofty proclamations being made and goals being set for next year and that's awesome. Aim high, my friends. Rock on. But I want to say one thing before we move any further towards the golden light of 2021: If all you did in 2020 was keep going, that's enough. - Liz Petrone Art: www.stopbreathethink.com
