My sister has been married for 5 years. Her husband has always been the provider, but he’s also always been a bit chauvinistic, thinking that a woman's place is taking care of the house and the kids, that cleaning is a woman's duty, etc. He was never rude, at least not in front of me, so the marriage always seemed to work out despite that... Until one day, I had a medical emergency and she came to help me.
Such awesome news!

I went there the same week; delivered Foundation stones 9x9; cement & sand. The intention was to deliver a message to the perpetrators; we're not out spiritually. I listened to the heartbreaking story of a mother who threw out through the window her 3-year-old son. He was thrown back in by the attackers. The mother and the son died in the inferno.Some atrocities demand justice..
unlearn shame. all forms of shame: unemployment, illness, vulnerability, longing, desire, errors, failures. you do not need to feel ashamed of what you are experiencing or living. freedom and shame cannot coexist.
Being mean doesn’t work on my kids btw, they will just assume something is wrong with you.
My friend’s grandmother once told my daughter she was “the most selfish child she’s ever met” because when asked to give up the marker she was doodling with, my girlie said, “one moment please, I’m almost done!”
And my girl just blinked and said, “maybe check that cup of markers for another one? Are you okay?” 🤣🤣
Your daughter just got her first period.
Do not tell her she is a woman now.
Tell her what estrogen does.
Tell her what progesterone does.
Tell her her cycle has four phases and each one will feel different.
Give her information. Not a new identity.
The writers I love most are not the ones who use big sophisticated language; but the ones who use common words and phrases, and weave beautifully into unpredictable sentences that capture certain moments perfectly.
