The Wounds of the Faithful: Diana Winkler's Mission to Heal (Creator Profile Series)

Welcome to the Creator Profile Series, where we highlight incredible individuals who have answered God’s call to reach the world in unique ways. Traditional churches often struggle to connect with niche communities online, especially those affected by ‘church hurt’—a phenomenon where individuals leave the church due to negative experiences, such as judgment, hypocrisy, or abuse. Statistics show…

America's War-Cult

We inhabit a time when life is cheap: abortions, genocides, perpetual wars, weapons of mass destruction. We could list countless ways in which human life has been devalued. While we might send out a medical plane to rescue one life that’s in peril, one plane can instantly incinerate a hundred thousand. Science has great power to heal, but this pails in comparison to its destructive power.…

Discord:

I only reblog/like content if it relates to my interests (whether it’s fandom or real life)

TikTok:

I’m actually a bit more shier when it comes to reposting the things I like especially if it’s an official account with a little blue tick on it and do it from someone else’s for you page.

Disclaimer! This post isn't to make anyone feel bad! It's a teaching tool!! It's truly made out of curiosity, and to give some advice if needed!

Edit: I'm getting a lot of "I do reblog! Just sometimes it's too political/nsfw/I'm out of spoons for the day" which is completely understandable!! This poll is mostly for those who really don't reblog much at all, if ever! Please still feel free to interact/vote of course! Just a heads up that again, this post isn't to make anyone feel like shit! I completely understand there are many many circumstances where people might not reblog!

Acceptable = "hey just letting y'all know [thing]"/ "woo tired today haha"/something else random that op obviously doesn't mind only their followers seeing, but might like to know that people have seen it

Which answer did you pick?

Doesn't fit: You can make side blogs! You can make as many as you want!! If you want followers on them, just be sure to do some simple tags (art, [fandom tag], writing, etc) so Tumblr knows who to promote you to! You'll also gain followers naturally by reblogging people's posts! They'll see you enjoy the same things and want to see you on their dash! Just liking a post doesn't do this, because people assume they won't see anything new on their dash by following you (edit: also your blog is your own!! Many many many people have all over the place type of blogs! Don't feel like you absolutely must stick to a theme!)

Shy: creators adore seeing you in their notes, people joke about their notes being a mess with a 20k+ note post, but the truth is it's a delight to see someone spam notes going back through your blog!! Don't be shy!!! If it's tagging that intimidates you then don't do it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ after being around awhile you'll learn how pretty quickly, but if you'd rather not that's fine too

How is it different?: Liking on other sites means the algorithms on those sites will push the post to more people. Liking here does legitimately nothing (expect maybe push the post higher in the tag, but not usually) liking here is nothing but a bookmark. If you've seen a post before and liked it, that little heart will stay filled in forever....that's it! You need to reblog things for them to get literally any exposure here. "Oh but I have so few followers?" as I said above, reblogging things is how you get followers (and mutuals ☺️) here!! And even one extra set of eyes on a post can make all the difference!

Never reblog: You look like a bot, you're probably getting blocked a lot without knowing why. Please make your blog look human! (Edit: I mean if you have an empty blog btw! If your blog is only for original posts ofc you don't look like a bot)

Acceptable: this is fine, we all do this

Likes are unhidden: that's not how this site works. Virtually no one is deviating from their dash to come see one particular person's likes page. And, as stated above, you look like a bot :/

Other: let me know please!! Like I said this is a teaching tool! For you and me lol I want to know why the likes/reblog ratio is so terrible rn!!

The wonderful artists, writers, gif makers, comedy post makers, etc on this website deserve more than just knowing you saw their posts! They deserve to have their hard work seen by as many people as possible!!! Please reblog a post if you enjoyed seeing it!!! Thank you for reading this far 😄

Empowering Yourself for a Happier, Healthier Life

In a world filled with constantly evolving healthcare systems and information overload, it's crucial for consumers to become their own health and wellness advocates. Being proactive in managing your well-being can have a profound impact on your quality of life. By taking charge of your health, you gain the power to make informed decisions, prioritize self-care, collaborate with healthcare professionals, and navigate the complexities of the healthcare landscape. In this blog post, we will explore the value of being your own advocate and provide practical tips to help you take control of your health and wellness journey.

The Importance of Being Your Own Health Advocate

Understanding Your Health:

Taking an active role in your health means being aware of your body, understanding common health indicators, and staying informed about potential risks and preventive measures. By becoming your own health advocate, you gain a deeper understanding of your unique health needs and are better equipped to identify potential issues before they become major concerns.

Become your own health advocate:

Educate yourself about your body and how it functions. Understand the basics of human anatomy, common health conditions, and their symptoms.

Stay informed about the recommended screenings and preventive measures based on your age, gender, and family history.

Keep track of your personal health records, including medical history, test results, and allergies. This information will help you provide accurate details to healthcare professionals.

Empowering Yourself with Knowledge:

In an era where information is readily available, being your own health advocate means taking the initiative to educate yourself. Utilize trustworthy sources, such as reputable medical websites, books, and healthcare professionals, to gain knowledge about different aspects of your health. This knowledge empowers you to ask relevant questions, engage in meaningful discussions with your healthcare providers, and actively participate in your own care.

Seek reliable sources of health information, such as reputable medical websites, journals, and books authored by trusted experts.

Attend educational seminars or workshops related to health and wellness.

Take advantage of online courses or webinars on topics that interest you, such as nutrition, exercise, or stress management.

Collaboration with Healthcare and Wellness Professionals

While being your own advocate is essential, collaboration with healthcare and wellness professionals is equally important. Establishing a strong partnership with these experts ensures that you receive expert guidance and support on your health and wellness journey. Their knowledge and expertise complement your role as an advocate.

To collaborate effectively with healthcare and wellness professionals:

Choose healthcare providers who prioritize patient-centered care and actively involve you in the decision-making process.

Prepare for appointments by making a list of questions or concerns to discuss with your healthcare professionals.

Be open and honest about your symptoms, concerns, and goals, as this will help them provide accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans.

Actively engage in conversations with healthcare professionals, asking for explanations and clarifications regarding your health conditions, treatment options, and potential risks and benefits.

Seek second opinions if you have reservations or feel uncertain about a diagnosis or treatment plan.

Explore integrative approaches that combine traditional medicine with complementary therapies, such as acupuncture, chiropractic care, or herbal medicine, with the guidance of qualified professionals.

Navigating the Healthcare System

Understanding Healthcare Options:

The healthcare system can be complex and overwhelming. As your own advocate, it's essential to familiarize yourself with the different healthcare options available to you, such as primary care, specialists, alternative medicine, and complementary therapies. This knowledge enables you to make well-informed decisions about your healthcare choices.

To understand healthcare options:

Research and understand the role of different healthcare providers, such as primary care physicians, specialists, therapists, and alternative medicine practitioners.

Explore different healthcare facilities and services available in your area, including hospitals, clinics, and community health centers.

Consider seeking second opinions or alternative treatment options if you have concerns or feel uncertain about a diagnosis or treatment plan.

Accessing Preventive Care:

Prevention is a vital aspect of maintaining good health. By being your own health advocate, you can actively seek out preventive measures such as regular check-ups, vaccinations, screenings, and lifestyle modifications. These proactive steps can help detect and address potential health issues early, increasing the chances of successful treatment and minimizing the impact on your well-being.

To access preventive care:

Schedule regular check-ups with your primary care physician or healthcare provider to monitor your overall health and well-being.

Stay up-to-date with recommended vaccinations for your age group and any specific health conditions you may have.

Understand the importance of age-appropriate screenings for conditions such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Discuss with your healthcare provider which screenings are relevant for you.

Managing Health Insurance and Finances:

Understanding health insurance policies, coverage, and financial responsibilities can be challenging. As your own advocate, take the time to comprehend the details of your insurance plan, including deductibles, copayments, and network providers. Being knowledgeable about these aspects allows you to make informed decisions about your care while optimizing your financial resources.

To manage health insurance and finances effectively:

Review your health insurance policy documents to understand the coverage, limitations, and exclusions.

Keep track of your healthcare expenses, including bills, receipts, and explanations of benefits.

Communicate with your insurance provider to clarify any doubts or concerns regarding coverage or claims.

Prioritizing Self-Care

Embracing a Holistic Approach:

Being your own advocate means recognizing that health and wellness encompass more than just physical well-being. It involves embracing a holistic approach that addresses your mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. Prioritize self-care activities such as exercise, adequate sleep, stress management, and engaging in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment.

To embrace a holistic approach to self-care:

Assess your current lifestyle and identify areas where you can make positive changes. Focus on incorporating activities that nurture your mind, body, and spirit.

Develop a self-care routine that includes activities you enjoy, such as yoga, meditation, hobbies, spending time in nature, or practicing gratitude.

Seek support from loved ones or professionals if you're struggling with your mental or emotional well-being. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, and you don't have to face challenges alone.

Nutrition and Healthy Lifestyle Choices:

Fueling your body with the right nutrition is crucial for overall well-being. As your own advocate, educate yourself about proper nutrition, balanced diets, and mindful eating. Make informed choices when it comes to your diet, incorporating whole foods, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Additionally, adopting healthy lifestyle habits like regular exercise, avoiding smoking, and moderating alcohol consumption can have a significant impact on your long-term health.

To prioritize nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices:

Educate yourself about the basics of nutrition, including macronutrients, micronutrients, and portion control.

Aim for a well-balanced diet that includes a variety of whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

Engage in regular physical activity that aligns with your abilities and interests. Find activities that you enjoy and make them a regular part of your routine.

Mental Health and Emotional Well-being

Your mental and emotional well-being is equally important in your health journey. As your own advocate, prioritize mental health by seeking support when needed, practicing stress-reducing techniques, and cultivating positive relationships. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, and taking care of your emotional well-being positively influences your overall health.

To prioritize mental health and emotional well-being:

Practice stress management techniques such as mindfulness, deep breathing exercises, journaling, or engaging in activities that help you relax.

Prioritize self-care activities that promote emotional well-being, such as spending time with loved ones, pursuing hobbies, or seeking therapy or counseling if necessary.

Build a support system of friends, family, or support groups that you can turn to during challenging times.

Becoming your own health and wellness advocate is a powerful step towards leading a happier, healthier life. By actively participating in your care, educating yourself, collaborating with healthcare professionals, and prioritizing self-care, you gain control over your well-being. Empower yourself to make informed decisions, navigate the healthcare system, and prioritize holistic health. Remember, you are your best advocate, and investing in your health today will pay dividends in the future. Take charge and embark on a journey of self-empowerment and wellness.

Change - A Spiritual Story

One of the common themes in the spiritual work of guidance is that it’s either helping someone change their existing circumstances, or improving the one they are in, or shifting their view of the life that’s changing without their full permission to do so. Sometimes guidance is helping someone come to terms with changes that have already taken place that they weren't prepared for and haven’t really made peace with at all yet. These are all so many of the variety of realities in life we must make space for in our energetic containers. Just like shift happens, so does change.

I have watched individuals change right before my eyes and this has been such a gift as much for me as them. When you see the sparkle return to someone’s eyes. When you see the light of enthusiastic fire lit from within a person, it’s so great, it literally lights your own by witnessing it in others. We are here to change and some of the changes we are capable of are immense and great.

One of my favorite changes was witnessed by me when a sharp faced, stoic, and closed emotionally vacant woman in her 50's came to see me for energy work. She had been a preemie baby, born so early and in the times when nobody touched those little people for weeks and weeks, until they were strong enough to go home and be united with their parents. She grew up and never married, had challenges being in intimate situations, and had never had children of her own.

She hadn’t connected the dots, until on my healing table, when I held her in my arms and rocked the tiny baby I was feeling energetically, she broke down and sobbed with understanding. The dots were connected and the woman left with shiny bright eyes, hugging me close as she said goodbye. I even received a thank you email from her husband, who had a brand new, shiny and loving wife who could hardly keep her hands off of him.  

The baby who wasn’t held or comforted got a reset button and the woman who had unconsciously held that all those 50 years had a new start to her loving and passionate life ahead. It was and never will be too late for a good change for the best.

For a nurse who perceives the attributes of nursing to be a calling of service, a blessed trust, and a commitment to reverence, thus leading to the model of practice labeled caring as a sacred covenant, five covenantal nursing practice behavioral themes have been identified from both the literature and empirical data; these themes include "respecting life," "being present," "comforting with compassion," "creating bonds," and "becoming an advocate."

Anyway, the Mutant Mayhem movie will be in theaters in less than a week. If I don't go to a theater, it'll take me a while since a friend would need to upload it to Plex. But I plan on spoiling myself. It'll help motivate and inspire.

Leonardo the honor nerd, the good child, the solemn studious boy - the natural deadpan snarker full of dad jokes from the start

Sooo, there has been a lot of discourse about Leonardo, in all iterations, since Rise of the TMNT premiered. Arguments that this is what Leo is like without the burden of leadership, arguments that this isn’t Leo at all because he was always serious and intense.

Why not both? Both is good.

Leonardo was always a naturally studious, cool, collected, serious boy, eager to please, willing to be responsible and protective. Master Splinter noticed that Leonardo had instincts for leadership, command, commitment. Leo was great at strategy. Leo was gifted in being able to know his environment, his body, his clan mates. He was diligent and he worked extremely hard.

Leonardo also had a sarcastic streak a mile wide. Folded arms, rolled eyes, heavy sighs. He could deliver a devastating one liner that made others fall in line with groaning reluctance. He was making dad jokes back when they were uncle jokes. But as he grew up, he realized that he was a big brother and his family was rowdy and chaotic, so he began to hold his humor back more and more for the sake of being a leader and responsible brother. That snarky joking edge lord child sunk deeper into a rapidly changing mentality of honor, commitment, responsibility, a need to please Father and Master, the need to be The Best because Now We Are At War. A curtain of responsibility and self doubt fell over him.

2003 traumatized him and wrapped him in the curtain just enough to hinder him. 2012 pulled back the curtain just enough to let him crack jokes and laugh at himself. 2018 ripped off the curtain, erased the trauma, and yanked all that snark to the surface.

In Rise, Leonardo hasn’t been exposed to the things that really require his solemn studious side. He feels like a kid who can bounce around and fling himself at life without truly worrying. He is still determined, committed, loyal, studious, happy to learn, whip smart and ready to lead his clan and pull them out of danger while being totally assured that he’s doing the right thing, that he knows exactly what he’s doing, that if they would trust him he would help them become great. 2018 Leo is still Leonardo. He’s merely able be glib, flighty, arrogant. Because he does not yet need to constantly fight for the lives and wellbeing of his clan, he doesn’t need to prove he’s the best even though he still really wants to. He’s a good warrior. Right now he’s a teenager who knows his life could change at any time and he’s hoping to get as much joy out of it as he can. He’s valid. All parts of Leo are valid.

Let’s look at Leonardo and Michelangelo. In 2003, they’re each other’s foils. Mikey wants Leo to relax and lighten up because he knows he can. Leo wants Mikey to be serious and to exercise his potential because he knows Mikey can be so much better. Mikey may be holding back because he knows he could be better than Leo and there seems to be an unspoken deal about that. Leo may be frustrated because he wants Mikey to surpass him. They just want the best for each other. Mikey knows full well how easy going and silly Leo can be if he let himself go. In 2012, Leo has relaxed enough that he and Mikey automatically formed a tight bond, pushing and encouraging each other to just keep being their best, and Leo is clearly able to snark with ease, despite his insistence on responsibility and his own burdens.

2018 has turned the universe sideways for them. Leo and Mikey are partners in crime, they’re each other’s Person, they get each other automatically. This version of Leo is the only version who would be an honorary Michelangelo in the other iterations, as my lovely friend @kalachelone stated. It’s not because he’s suddenly the Mikey of the show, it’s because he’s embodying the spirit of who Mikey is.

He is a Leonardo in full, creator approved, Canon Divergent only as much as the original Mirage Tales of the TMNT by the actual creators, not to mention IDW, written by Kevin Eastman himself.

To deny and insult 2018 Leo is to scoff at a creator approved side of Leonardo that we’ve needed to see since the beginning, the rebellious, joyful, tactically intuitive, whipsmart, cool Leo with lightning wit, dramatic extra edginess, smooth confidence, and an instinctive ability to command teamwork. Validate him.
