Indeed, we need to stick together more than ever. Do not bow out of this forever. For you are someone's friend, somewhere. You are loved by someone. And those little connections can make a shield, a powerful one that can defend the most vulnerable.

Do not stop being yourself. Do not let people put you in that cage willingly. Be yourself, and love those around you.

To all the trans people who see this tonight, no matter what happens, we will survive. Trans people will still be here 4 years from now and 10 years from now and 100 years from now and tomorrow. We have always existed and we always will. The world cannot unlearn about us; we are too public, too loud, too beloved, too present. Ill be here tomorrow. Please stay here with me.

Help a new mother feed her baby!!

Suad Ahmad @suad-khaled is an engineer from north Ghazzeh. At the beginning of the invasion, her home and workplace were both destroyed by the occupation. She had just found out she was pregnant. She and her family were displaced repeatedly, living in makeshift tents and on the streets until the birth of her son, Khaled, earlier this summer.

Khaled has an ongoing chest infection and related respiratory problems due to the collapse of sanitation and medical infrastructure. The little food and medicine available comes at highly elevated prices.

Suad and Khaled need your support in order to survive! Follow Suad’s blog and scan the code below to find out how you can help!

Thank you❤️

beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck, but, most of all: endurance.

How to win this month…

Speaking life into yourself daily, no more judging yourself because you didn’t go for a run, or wake up at 5am. Choosing to love yourself unconditionally. Choosing to write those affirmations and stick them on the bathroom mirror, choosing to infuse your mind with loving, kindness, gratitude and all that yummy stuff on an hourly basis.

Focus on move the needle tasks. You want to write that book, loose 100 lbs, compete in the Olympics - whatever is your PRIMARY goal in life (and choose the primary one only), focus 100% on that task. Creating momentum around this one thing each and every day. Your primary goal should be your only focus. Secondary goals, are irrelevant. Nothing comes above your PRIMARY GOAL, and doing small little tasks each day to support this is how you make progress.

Organised days. As much as the feminine loves, flow, ease, loose unstructured days this truly does not bag you the life of your dreams. Break your day into 4 hour blocks, setting tasks in each block from when you wake up to the evening. This allows organised, focused, and productive days.

Using your resources wisely, if you’re still recovering financially from xmas, or on some kind of budget, ensure you spend wisely. Choosing health over aesthetic, choosing the Pilates membership over the designer trainers. The intolerance test over the sculpting facial. Investing in the inside before the outside is a priority. Making smarter financial decisions from a place of inner love.

Main character energy. Putting yourself first on a whole new level. No more thinking about the guy who you’re not even dating, no more putting mental energy into anything other than becoming your very best self. Period. If it’s taking mental energy from your purpose , from those move the needle tasks, from your organised days, from spending wisely. RE-ALIGN, create space and re-centre and get back on the track. We're winning the race this year.

May you be filled up with hope, again and again and again. Slowly but surely, assured no matter how tenuously so, like the waiting out of the flood in the rainfall. As many times as you need, as many times as you are knocked down and emptied of it, as we human beings often are. May the patience to hold out for the hope to fill you always prevail, and may it return to fill you up, indeed.

to love life, to love it even when you have no stomach for it.

Es difícil regresar una vez que uno se marcha. Y no me refiero a regresar al mismo sitio; eso es sencillo. Es que uno no vuelve al lugar de donde partió con los mismos ojos. Uno ya no vuelve tan fácil a las mismas conversaciones, los mismos gustos o las mismas personas. Muchos creen que sigues siendo la misma persona que se fue, pero creciste, la vida te dio uno que otro golpe y aun así te mantuviste de pie.
