My first book I’ll Let Myself In (a book of personal essays about my experiences growing up disabled) comes out tomorrow and I can’t quite believe it 😱

[thereadingchallengechallenge]

Quick Review: I'll Let Myself In by Hannah Diviney Rating: 5/5

This was an incredible memoir by Hannah, Diviney, a promising young writer, journalist and disability advocate from Australia who clearly, succinctly and cleverly writes about the myriad struggles of growing up as a disabled girl and all the strife that comes with it. Highly recommend to anyone looking to pick something up for International Day of People With Disabilities (Dec 3) this weekend!

[mondieuwordnerd]

Some how Latecomers is flying completely under the radar when is is something the Tumblr community would love. Part comedy, part drama and part romcom, it's got good disability representation. The show lets people with a disability be people! As flawed, as having desires, as wanting sex and connection, as being assholes, as being remorseful. The tension between the love interests is *chefs kiss* too. You could watch it in an afternoon, on SBS, for free.

Crossing my fingers for a second season! @wildfloweronwheels deserves season 2 ❤

The so-called “wishing trees” at the Co Meath heritage site are in danger of collapse and the Tara Skryne Preservation group is now appealing to visitors to the Hill of Tara to stop suffocating the trees after one of the hawthorns fell recently.

Also called fairy trees, it has been a tradition to place strips of cotton to the trees in the hope of curing an ailment which would disappear as the cloth decayed.

But in recent years, visitors have been tying hundreds of items including nappies, plastic cards, bras and even handcuffs to the branches of the trees, which stand near the legendary Lia Fail stone.

Coins have also been hammered into the trees, causing fungal diseases to develop in its bark.

Although locals have made an effort to keep the trees stripped in clean-ups over the years, one of the hawthorns fell recently.

John Farrelly and Carmel Diviney of the Tara Skryne Preservation Group are now calling for immediate action before all six hawthorn trees are killed.

Mr Farrelly said: “These trees have been weakened considerably and now one of the root systems has been exposed which will end the tree’s life ultimately.

“The trees can’t carry all this junk which gets heavier in rain and people have been hammering coins and penetrating their protective layer, leaving them open to poisoning from fungal diseases.

“Another fairy tree on the hill is also in bad condition and we have to act now to save the others.

“These hawthorns are lone bushes which have survived growth in exposed areas. According to folklore, if a tree or bush was able to withstand the elements and grow unaided in these areas, there had to be some sort of magical force helping them.

“People believed that lone bushes were helped to grow by the fairies or other spiritual beings as a reminder that we are not alone on this earth - we are not the masters of everything.

“It would be a shame to see them die.”

John has taken slips from the trees and managed to grow saplings which he will nurture until they become strong enough to survive the elements and the animals.

However in the meantime, a call is being made to the Office of Public Works (OPW) and tour operators to keep the trees free of rubbish.

“Tying a small piece of bio-degradable rag is one thing but hammering coins into the truck is another,” said Carmel.

“We are also asking the Office of Public Works if they can help in the matter.

“Most tour guides and buses are on our side but you will see some tours actively tying stuff to the trees and to these we plead, Stop!”

The Hill of Tara attracts thousands of visitors each year to see the former seat of the High Kings of Ireland and it’s also said that the hand and head of fierce warrior Cuchulainn is buried near the site.

godly soul and animal soul

keliah are negative shells, when we sin they contaminate us.

we are spakr of divnie

smallvictories over negative htoughts are valuable

Techniques to overcome evil:

Overpowering Evil Through Reason: Using intellectual contemplation of God's greatness. Understanding God's will empowers the Beinoni to overcome desires of the animal soul.

Awakening Hidden Love: Cultivating an inner love for God that subconsciously guides actions and choices, even when facing temptations.

It's a willingness to go the extra mile, to sacrifice one's desires or comforts for the sake of fulfilling God's will.

which suggests that everything that exists is ultimately part of God.

This doesn't negate the existence of the physical world, but rather emphasizes its dependence on and connection to God.

Choosing good becomes meaningful because there's an alternative.

 a pure and refined soul can reflect the Divine Will perfectly through its actions.

Choosing to resist temptation through self-sacrifice strengthens our connection to God and demonstrates our commitment.

This chapter addresses the importance of maintaining joy and a positive attitude while engaging in spiritual service (Avodat Hashem).

DEpression is caused by negative thoughts and desires depression caused by negative thoughts and desires, particularly lust, can be a form of Divine service if harnessed correctly.

he chapter emphasizes the importance of not engaging with the intrusive thoughts. Don't dwell on them or try to analyze them.

Instead, one should immediately and completely remove them from their mind.

When we perform Mitzvot, the energy used for the Mitzvah transforms this negative vitality.

This has a positive effect on our own "Nefesh HaBehamit" (animal soul), elevating its connection to the Divine.

 

Maintain a joyful and positive attitude as much as possible.

pen_spark

Focus on God, Not Thoughts:

Discouragement and despair stemming from a focus on one's shortcomings and limitations.

Love for God Manifests as Love for His People: Our love for God naturally extends to those who share a connection with Him, regardless of their level of observance.

pen_spark

The chapter argues that recognizing God's absolute oneness and all-encompassing presence is a source of immense joy.

Body is a dwelling place for divineis a dwelling place for divineis a dwelling place for divine

purpose of creation – to establish a dwelling place for God

The chapter argues that while action connects the Divine light, intention elevates the action itself.

It injects spiritual meaning and purpose into the physical act, making the Mitzvah a true offering to God.

The chapter argues that while action connects the Divine light, intention elevates the action itself.

It injects spiritual meaning and purpose into the physical act, making the Mitzvah a true offering to God.

Love and Fear Elevate Service: The second level involves performing Mitzvot with either love or fear of God. This injects emotion and elevates the offering of our actions.

The chapter utilizes Kabbalistic concepts, mentioning the Sefirot of Chesed (loving-kindness) and Gevurah (severity).

Love connects to Chesed, while fear connects to Gevurah. Both are necessary for a balanced and complete service.

Constant Presence: Fear, in this context, doesn't imply constant terror. It's about living with the awareness of God's presence and our responsibility to fulfill His will.

pen_spark

This is described as an intellectual and emotional connection with God's essence, achievable only by very select individuals.

Accessible to All: The chapter emphasizes a unique type of love – the love for life itself. This is seen as an inheritance from our forefathers and a love inherent within every Jew.

pen_spark

focuses on cultivating love through the attribute of mercy and compassion, specifically by contemplating the Divine spark within our soul and its descent from its source in God

. Compassion for the Divine Spark: The chapter suggests arousing love for God by cultivating compassion for the Divine spark that resides within our soul

This approach suggests that by simply acknowledging and internalizing God's love for us, a natural response of love arises within us.

day presents an opportunity for a personal exodus from our own spiritual complacency

 The chapter introduces the concept of the Ein Sof, the infinite source of all existence.

From this source emanates an infinite light that sustains creation.

. Positive thoughts and good deeds reveal the Shechina's light more brightly, while negative thoughts and actions diminish it.

The Nefesh HaBehemit (Animal Soul) - This soul is connected to our physical desires and inclinations.

Guiding Light: The chapter highlights the role of reason (Sechel) as the tool to guide us in this internal battle.

Reason allows us to discern the right path and choose to strengthen the Divine Soul over the Animal Soul.

Repentance involves genuine remorse for our transgressions, a commitment to change, and a renewed effort to follow the right path.

My Song of Songs

My Song of Songs (Inspired by the Song of Songs) When my heart begins to open,there’s a melody.When love flows through me,there’s a song.I sing as I seek the DivineI sing and my soul is dancingI sing and it’s the Song of SongsMy journey had been long and winding.I sought what my heart yearned.In streets, and busy markets;over hills and valleys deep;my beloved is hidden,in plain sight.And always…
