Children hit by parents more likely to bully others, research finds. The UCL study also found physically punished children were more likely to struggle in school. https://t.co/M6fPk6MCax

Not every Monday has to begin with having everything figured out. Some days, simply making it through is more than enough.

Give yourself grace for the days that feel heavy, the moments that feel overwhelming, and the progress that may seem small.

The older you get, the more you realize that peace is more valuable than attention.

You stop trying to impress everyone.

You stop arguing with strangers.

You stop chasing validation.

And you start protecting your time, energy, and mind.

"Some relationships aren’t supposed to last. Some friendships aren’t meant to be forever. People come into your life for a season, a reason, or a lifetime. And part of growing is learning not to force someone into the wrong category. As you evolve, your circle will too. Let them.” ~Mel Robbins

Someday, all the love you’ve given to the wrong people will find its way back to you in someone who has been waiting their whole life for your kind of love.

This is brilliant! It is the most graphic depiction of the incompetence of the ANC in Johannesburg and Gauteng. Their leadership should hang their heads in shame. Any sensible citizen would vote for Helen in the coming election for Johannesburg Mayor.

South African anti-apartheid activist Dulcie September (1935-1988). She joined APDUSA in 1960 & National Liberation Front (NLF) in January 1963. On 12 July 1963, September’s home was raided by security police & when NLF materials were found, she was detained. September was sentenced to five years imprisonment, during which time she endured severe physical and psychological abuse. She was released in 1969 with a strict five-year banning order under the Pretoria regime. In 1973, as her banning order drew to a close, September applied for a permanent departure permit, having secured a position at Madeley College of Education in Staffordshire. She left South Africa on 19 December 1973. In London, she joined the activities of the Anti-Apartheid Movement and was in the frontline of numerous political rallies and demonstrations at South Africa House in Trafalgar Square. She joined the ANC in 1976 & it was here where she was recognized for her dedication to women's issues and made it her mission to welcome newly exiled South Africans to London. She represented the ANC in many countries. On the morning of 29 March 1988, September was shot 5 times with a silenced .22 caliber rifle outside the ANC's Paris office at 28, Rue des Petites-Écuries, as she was opening the office after collecting the mail. She was 52 years old. Credit: SAHO/Dulcie September Family Archive /Wikipedia/AAM Archives

Andrews said the EU’s response to the war on Iran and Israel’s attacks on Lebanon had been “weak and pathetic”. “It demonstrates that time and time again, Israel has been given a permission slip for endless war crimes.” https://t.co/I5wUX9prlT
