Love everything but the stereotypical girly fascination with the color pink.
Intamacy, Way. The act of knowing someone for years and years. inside and out. for frustrations and complications. For frustrations, male and female. And everything in between. who else can love us for who we really are? Not a booty call...a person who wants and needs and has responsibilities and who is no more or less sexy than you. And wants more than you have and and that you want. Monogomy is the constant trying to be unselfish, How hard is that? real effin hard.
I freaking LOVE this video
I initially read that quote as well but can't find it now?
I am so experiencing writer's envy! This was my experience in my last labor as well and have struggled to put it into words. I will be sharing this with my prenatal trainees!
Women don't need to act like men. There were many instances in history where power was matriarchal. The human reproductive system is based on an embryo that is programmed to be female, until signals from the Y chromosome that is only present in sperm, not in eggs, gives signals otherwise. If signalled improperly, though genetically male, the embryo will develop as a female, with the same hormones as such. There are cases throughout evolution where reproduction was done asexually: by females. There are species without males. But no species without females. Not one. Women do not need to act like men, or "more like women" or any other such nonsense. This is a comment that is based in the misogynistic phrasing of our culture and doesn't address the issue at all. What this video is about, instead, is how media is portraying women, and how powerful media is in developing sense of self for young women.
Oh man I hear you. Two of my kids have awful eczema. What worked for us: oatmeal baths, a good moisturizer, grapefruit seed extract applied topically (in a cream) and flax oil orally. I swear they were better in 2 weeks, tops.
That's not the point ben! I would sit humbly at their feet and beg them to teach me. But in the absence of that, it's worth finding the teacher in everyone else.
Or maybe slowing down now means preparation for changing forever? The greatest prenatal teacher is to be pregnant. You never learn so much in such a short time or change so quickly, inside and out. Go with the flow, give yourself permission to be who you are, to change as you will and to let go of who you used to be. and welcome! You are now part of a divine jewel on the crown of motherhood, to join the women who have gone before, and those that will come after.
