Poet Galway Kinnell writes, “Sometimes it’s necessary to reteach a thing it’s loveliness.”

Praying you find your own worth today.

Parenting, especially foster or adoptive parenting, requires rewriting our focus.

The focus must be on hope, on loving with endurance.

The poet Shelley wrote:
“To love and bear, to hope till hope creates from its own wreck the thing it contemplates.”

@jshaw_six @stormrosewriter Man adulting is awesome any way it happens. My man could pack is stuff in a kangaroo for all I care.

I think I've rolled my eyes enough today to travel through time. Don't ask. It must be possible. There's no other reason I would have had to repeat every single thing I've said today right? Right!?

@weedswildflowrs This was me last night too.

This summer is officially kicking my butt.

@JennMGreenberg I had a friend in college who works burka.

I do not.

We had both been sexually assaulted.

#sexualassault is NOT women’s fault.

Dear Angry Internet People,

We know you’re lashing out because you hurt.

That’s awful. And we’re so sorry for you.

But when you use your hate to bring others down, PLEASE stop and get help.

Our life is already hard

We don’t need YOUR shit too.

Thanks,

The rest of us

This kind of reminds me of finding my kids licking things...

@salemom37780814 You need one

[Stephanie Sanders @stephlsanders]

@IMomalogues That might be based on what can be proven. Unfortunately if there is no documentation of abuse it’s just he said she said.

In a lot of cases the victims feel unable to report the abuse as it’s happening.

@motherlyqueer I lost my left breast to #cancer. Completely flat on that side.

I can tell you that my husband loves me and still finds me attractive even after 8 years of dealing with scars.

So unless he’s a complete jerk, he loves you for you, inside and out.

I have lost at least 10 IQ points per baby. I am 1 kid away from being the intellectual rival to a cup of warm mayo.
