slow + easy || I’ve been intentional about slowing down my mornings. I feel most productive at dawn so it’s easy for me to just wake up and start my days off busy. But recently, I started to realize that I was beginning to burn out by noon some days; especially during this stressful time. I’m learning the importance of taking time to fuel up (mentally/spiritually/physically) and what a gift to myself that has been. Time and rest is not only a need – it’s sustenance.

the food and education made me sad.

I have always been fascinated by these ‘world of 100 people’ things, I remember spending hours thinking through the ones on a poster at church when I was 9 or so. It really, really makes some really important stuff so blindingly clear, in numbers we can understand. And it should, I hope it does, inspire us to act.

Amazing post.

The reason these work so well is because the human brain is actually incapable of comprehending the actual amount in people in the world. Our mind unassisted can only understand numbers up to a certain amount. Even 83% of 7 billion is difficult to grasp because we know that’s a Fuck ton, but on the flip side 17% of 7 billion is a Shit load. So our brain realy can’t comprehend the gravity of what exactly is the difference one fuck ton and one shit load. But when you take away the percent, remove this gigantic 7 billion number, and bring it down to 100, all of a sudden out brains go “oh! I know what 100 is! I can understand this!” And things are a lot clearer.

This is response to all sides of Chicago... You know what's up...Wildin out & hurting us. When we literally stand, run, cry & die everyone!

Herb series: Dandelion

Planetary Association: Jupiter Astrological Association: Sagittarius and Pisces Elemental Energy: Air Key Associations: Psychic ability, opening up the sight, calling spirits, connecting to higher dimensions. Safety: Edible, however in very very large doses can be damaging to the body due to the presence of oxalates. However, in order to suffer from poisoning from dandelion you would need to consume a huge amount of leaves and stems daily. Consume dandelion in moderate amounts, no need to become a Dandelion addict mmkay? Dandelions have a long history of being eaten, and they are used in salads, jellies, teas and wine. If you are allergic to latex please be careful with this herb, as the stems contain latex. Planetary affects: Jupiter lends an expansive energy to dandelion, allowing the mind to open up to receiving messages from spirits. When using dandelion with the intention of increasing psychic ability, Jupiter in conjunction with the element of air allows for energy to carry from the lower chakras and up through the air element into spiritual dimensions. In this way we are able to extend our primal emotions from the body and out through the auras to be released, bringing spell work, messages from the guides, intentions and wishes to fruition. This is the same reason we often wish upon a dandelion. Astrological affects: Sagittarius lends Dandelion a curious and truth seeking nature which helps to increase it’s connection to psychic ability. In combination with the energies of Jupiter and the Sagittarian ruling element of fire, this lends a passionate and motivating force behind dandelion which stimulates the intuition and pushes the mind to seek for answers. Although the element of air rules over dandelion, Sagittarius brings it’s fiery passionate energy into the background, giving a bit of extra oomph to this herb. Pisces allows the mind to connect emotionally to incoming information and find personal connections to the messages that come through due to an extra oomph from Pisces’ ruling element of water. When doing readings for others, this allows dandelion to bring messages across that can be connected specifically to this person, allowing expression of the messages in a meaningful way. Dandelion growth: Dandelion can grow just about anywhere, but prefers rich loose soil. However, it is often found in fields, sidewalk cracks, rocky areas, and, compacted soils. This is where the magic of dandelion can come into play- the presence of dandelion literally changes the soil- attracting earthworms, drawing toxins out of the soil, and rejuvenating the nutrients in the ground. This nature of dandelion has helped to shape the folklore behind it’s abilities to transform and adapt energy into a positive force that can be perceived and felt through the energy fields. Dandelion Folklore: Dandelion’s flowers open with the morning sun, and close when the sun sets, giving it a strong affinity to the sun. It has often be used as offerings to solar deities or used to decorate spring time altars and shrines as it often blooms in Spring and Autumn. Due to it’s status as a weed, growing low to the ground and it’s ability to grow in poor rocky soils, the dandelion was believed by some to belong to Chthonic deities and has been associated with necromancy and communicating with the dead because of it’s underworld connections. Many believe this herb is ruled over by Hecate. Dandelion harvesting and uses: Harvest dandelion flowers, leaves and roots in the morning sun when Jupiter is in the sky above. Added benefits arise from the harvest if Jupiter is passing through Sagittarius or Pisces. Hang the harvested plants to dry until the flowers have shrunk and the leaves have become crunchy. Store in a jar in a cool spot until ready to use. Be careful where you harvest from, as roadside dandelions may have taken on some carbon monoxide.

Magical uses: Drink as a tea for psychic visions, or use the dried root as a poppet for healing or curse workings. Use in a clarity oil to help sharpen the mind and increase perception of visions and messages. Weave into wreaths to celebrate the coming of spring, or give as offerings. Can be used to dress the feet or hands of deity statues in order to connect to their energy. Leaves can be eaten in a salad, and the tea can aid in cleansing the liver and blood as a medicinal tonic.

Psychic tea - Dig up the roots and wash off any soil. Chop and roast the roots in the oven at 180 degrees celcius until they turn milky brown in colour. - Place in a tea diffuser and allow the tea to diffuse. - Add milk and sugar as required. Drink at least 10-15 minutes before a reading, scrying, or meditation session for increased psychic connections. Clarity oil - Add the petals of a dandelion to olive oil with some lavender flowers and rosemary leaves. Leave in the light of mercury for a boost of communication energy. For extra oomph make this oil blend on a base of Mercury oil. Anoint the third eye for increased ability to perceive visions and communicate with your guides. Dandelion paste - Grind Dandelion petals with sandalwood or chandan powder and mix with a little water to make a thick paste. Dress the hands and feet of deity statues with the mixture to honor them and to connect to their energies. This paste can also be smeared on bones and other curios to connect to the ancestors or animal guides. Feed the paste to bones as an offering- the orange/red brown color imitates the flesh and blood of an animal thus connecting spirit guides to bones and allowing them to inhabit the space within. Dandelion Salve- For achy muscles and painful joints - Cover dandelion flowers in olive oil and allow to infuse in a jar for 4-6 weeks. - Drain the flowers from the oil and set aside. - Over a low heat melt beeswax inside a heatproof bowl which is sitting in a pan of water (Like how you would melt chocolate without burning it.) - Mix the beeswax and oil together and allow the mixture to set inside your chosen container. - Once the mixture has set apply to sore muscles and joints for some homemade pain relief!

Empath Jewelry Enchantment

As an empath, sometimes I would find myself so drained and in such a bad mood when I came home, just from brushing into other people and their problems. I decided I needed a barrier with a little boost

What You’ll Need:

🔑 A piece of jewelry you wish to enchant

🔑 Carnelian to protect and stabilize, to encourage awareness of your own energy

🔑 Hematite to banish and absorb negativity

🔑 Obsidian to ground and protect, to shield against negativity

🔑 Amethyst to bring strength, stability, and peace

🔑 Ruby in Zoisite to maintain your individuality

🔑 Bay for protection and to ward off negativity

🔑 Cinnamon for protection and strengthening of psychic power

🔑 Lavender for soothing

🔑 A dish to hold your herbs and jewelry (if you want to put your crystals in as well, make sure it’s big enough)

🔑 A white candle

🌙 Gather your items together in front of you so you can easily access them

🌙 Place your herbs into your bowl, stating the reason you’re using each one and thanking them for helping you. Focus on what you want each herb to do as you place it into the dish. Arrange your crystals around/inside your dish, asking each one of them to help you and thanking them for offering their energy

🌙 Place the piece of jewelry into the dish with the herbs, and then light the candle. Allow the candle to help draw energy into the dish. Concentrate on the item of jewelry, and envision it beginning to glow

🌙 Repeat the following (tweak it if you want)

[name of the item of jewelry], please help protect me whilst I wander among Earth’s people. I ask that you absorb and emulate the energies of these stones and herbs. Allow me to feel only that which I feel, allow me to take on only that which I consciously wish. Protect me from overload, protect me from the negativity of others. They can feel their own emotions, without my help. I do not need to take on other’s struggles

🌙 Let the candle burn for as long as you wish, and leave the jewelry in the dish overnight in the moonlight. Whenever you put it on, picture that glow expanding to cover your whole self in a protective bubble. You don’t need to hold that image permanently, but know that the protection is there

Reblogging this on the one year anniversary!! Crazy how time flies ✨

Hell yeah! I always talk about how much my life improved after I started saying no and not spreading myself thin to please others.

I think, the freedom of society begins with the freedom of every single man. So, maybe in time, we will learn to say no to injustice, inequality, greed and stupidity of the authorities.

Also: don’t stigmatize HIV+ individuals because they all have different circumstances and might’ve gotten the virus from a variety of sources (sex, occupational, birth, blood transfusions in other countries).

HIV-related stigma remains a huge barrier to preventing HIV, and is linked to a low level of people testing for HIV.

The bad news is that Trump is cutting America’s spending on HIV year after year. He has taken steps to weaken the Affordable Care Act since coming to power.

Any Questions

Me: "How was school yesterday?"

Beth: [age 11] "Fine, except my last class was FLASH."

Me: "That's the sexual health class, right?"

Beth: "Yeah."

Me: "Did you learn anything?"

Beth: [rolling her eyes] "I learned boys are stupid when they learn about sex."

Me: "See? That's a valuable lesson right there. Never forget: boys are stupid about sex."

Beth: "I don't know why I have to go to this class. It's annoying. They're not teaching me anything new. I already heard it from you and Mom."

Me: "Well, not all of it. We didn't teach you about male puberty."

Beth: [shuddering] "But I don't want to know about male puberty. It's gross."

Me: [shrugging] "It's all important. Without sex, there would be no human race."

Beth: "OK, but, can't they leave it up to parents? You already told me the important stuff."

Me: "Most parents don't talk to their kids about sex. Then again, most kids don't have parents who have worked in sexual health. But remember: if you have any questions, you can ask any time."

Beth: "I have no questions. I don't want to talk about it at all."

Me: "Maybe one of your friends has a question that they're too embarrassed to ask in school. You could ask me or Mom for them."

Beth: "Yeah, well, Gemma had a question and didn't want to ask the teacher, so she asked me, and I knew the answer from you, so I told her."

Me: "That's cool. What was the question?"

Beth: "Why would I tell you?! It was personal."

Me: "Fair point. But if you or they /do/ have any questions, you can ask."

Beth: [regarding me coolly for a moment] "I have only one question right now: can I get through breakfast without talking any more about sex?"

How To Make Naturally Flavored Water

Supplies needed:

Fruit – Whatever kind you like (except bananas); make sure it’s good and ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor. Use all kinds of citrus and berries. Pineapple and watermelon work well for flavoring water.

Herbs – These are optional, but many herbs are a surprising complement to fruit flavors; almost any herb will work depending on your personal preference.

Jars or pitchers – Use 2 quart mason jars primarily, but any 2 quart pitcher will do. Fruit infusion pitcher is another option if you think you’ll be making infused waters regulary; a very easy, tidy way to strain fruit from water.

Muddler or wooden spoon for mashing fruit and herbs.

Ice

Water – Use filtered or spring water.
