(via The Right Time for Resolutions)

For centuries the "new year" was celebrated at the spring equinox. The spring season just seems to scream "Bring in the NEW!", her enthusiastic message painted with a colorful expanse of new life and new growth. New plans, new goals, new creations, new directions - all seem more natural at this time.

Keeping certain resolutions during the thick of winter is like finalizing a contract or setting up a computer network during Mercury Retrograde. You can do it, but it might not be hassle-free.

(via On Rage)

I don’t think I ever knew real anger until I became a parent.  Before that, my world was a tightly controlled environment, a carefully curated timeline of events and experiences designed to keep my anxiety and boredom at bay.  I knew parenting would be hard, but I had no idea that it would undo me, at times completely. When I first felt rage, I was shocked. I had never before experienced a surge of energy so strong that I thought I could actually kill someone with my bare hands.  It terrified me. I went to a therapist I had been seeing for awhile and she freaked out–I think she thought I was losing my mind. I wanted to say–but don’t mothers get angry sometimes? Because THIS sucks. But I didn’t, I just stopped going to therapy and tried to figure out how to deal with my newly found emotional turmoil myself.

(via Turn the News Off: Ten Point Plan for a News Sabbatical Starting Today)

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Now is an exceptionally good time to turn the news off. Take more than a break. Take a sabbatical. It’s ok to power down, unplug, and refocus on your life without the input. Seriously, if something is happening you really need to know, like an asteroid hurling towards earth, someone will tell you.

At this point, the news is an anxiety-inducing adrenaline pumping experience. Chances are pretty high if you unplug you’ll actually go through a detox. However, that is the very reason to do it. You and your body probably need a reset.

This Mother’s Day, you can honor the women in your life while also supporting mothers around the world.

Because healthy, empowered moms can give their children the best start possible, UNICEF (United National Children’s Fund) works to support mothers by providing vital neonatal care and ensuring they have what they need to help their children grow up healthy and happy.

These gifts-that-give-back help support the organization’s lifesaving mission and can provide moms with a feel-good celebration.

(via Repeat after me: The Barr letter is not the Mueller Report)

At this point though, we know almost nothing about the Mueller Report. What we now have is William Barr’s opinion, and we’ve known what his opinion was since June 8, 2018. So, there are no surprises here at all.

There is a reason the mid-terms were so imperative. Without the newly minted Democratic Congress, there would be no checks and balances in the system at all. However, as of January, Trump can no longer run the board without supervision or accountability.

(via Spring Into the Season Feeling Fresh and Renewed)

Spring has officially sprung. At least in the northern hemisphere, we entered the spring season on the Full Moon Spring Equinox last week, and now it’s time to think about spring cleaning.

Now, most people think about washing windows and turning mattresses when they hear the words “Spring Clean”, but I’m talking about a different sort of cleaning. Three different sorts actually, and they all relate to each other in some way or another. They are:

Physically cleaning and detoxing your body.

(via Astrology: Venus in dreamland)

The goddess of love, partnership and desire can lose herself in this Neptune-ruled sign, as romance becomes magical, boundaries dissolve, and anything is possible.

Practical strategies fall by the wayside and surrender is the name of the game.

How do you know whether it will be gloriously dreamy or terrifyingly delusional?

Simple.

You choose.

(via Choose Your Own Thoughts)

It really comes down to being willing to take on the responsibility of advertising to yourself.

You are far too powerful to be anything less than radiant in the world. Your power is your thoughts and your focus and you’re in charge of that. A lot of other people will knock on your door, to get inside your head, but you get to decide who you let in, and the way you do that is by thinking your own thoughts. YOU HAVE TO THINK YOUR OWN THOUGHTS. If you don’t it’ll get done for you.

(via Stop asking me ‘what about men?’)

We do not need to centre men in every conversation we have. Women and girls are valid entities, independent from men. We need to get to a point where we can talk about women’s issues and get the same level of respect we get when we talk about men’s issues. Until then, your ‘Whataboutery’ is unwelcome here.
