A mother's love doesn't shout—it's silent, strong, and unshakable. Today, we honour the women who hold the world together. Tag a mom who deserves this, including yourself!

Everywhere I look I see broken childrens hearts in the vessel of adult bodies. I would like to be here for you, because I see you & I decided to become love, to show all these children (& my own) that it is safe now to open up again & just be, that they are loved the way they are.

Present and Accounted For

Relationships don't just happen. You have to be mentally and physically present in your current relationship to develop the richness your desire.

Love. What a beautiful word. Everyone needs or wants love in some form unless the individual has decided they’ve had enough of what we call “romantic interactions” between a man and a woman.

However, for those who are on the journey to find their love or involved with the “love” of their lives, stay present and accountable in the relationships you have decided to partake of during this…

your love makes me thrive

My love for you is precious  But your love for me is supreme  All powerful, all consuming  Caressing, comforting  Like a light sea breeze  Like nurturing a redwood  When it was still a sleeping seedling  I will thrive with your love That’s the truth and we can’t help it.

Nurturing vs. addictive love

Healthy relationships make you feel good about yourself, while unhealthy relationships make you feel worse. Here are a few guidelines to help determine whether you’re in a nurturing, healthy relationship or in an addictive, unhealthy relationship. Nurturing love: ■ You wish for the other person to grow and be happy. ■ You want him or her to be everything he or she is capable of being. ■ You encourage him or her to have friends and to enjoy activities apart from you as well as with you. ■ You support each other to do well in school and at work. ■ You feel safe to express your feelings. ■ You can argue without fear of his or her temper. ■ You can be yourself. ■ You work out your differences through talking and negotiating, not through violence or emotional abuse. Addictive love: ■ You believe you can’t live without him or her. ■ You have fewer and fewer happy times together and more and more time spent on apologies, promises, anger, guilt and fear. ■ You feel worse about yourself. ■ You feel you have less and less self-control. ■ You don’t make decisions or plans without him or her, and you wait to find out what he or she is going to do. ■ You enjoy time away from him or her less and less, as if you are killing time until you can be together again. ■ You keep breaking your promises to yourself to be less desperate (“I won’t call him”, “I won’t make her tell me everything she did since I last saw her”). ■ You feel you can never get enough of her or him. ■ You try more and more to control her or him.
