"She's Erica, Erica, Erica (Erica Kane) Oh, back on the block she's at it again She'll be your friend as long as you spend I know she's torn whole families apart She'll shoot a poison arrow straight through your heart"

This time of year can be difficult for some people. We hope all of those feeling sorrow or loss will find the support and help they need. Take a walk in nature, open up to a trusted friend, spend time doing something worthwhile. You are not alone. Photo of a gray tree frog by Rick Hansen, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Your body is a planet
I honestly think so:
Your smile is a diamond
What you call “ugly strechmarks”, I call a breathtaking montain range
Your “body fat” are dunes of sand that I dream of gliding across
Your eyes are an ocean that I want to drown in
Your hair is a waterfall one could only HOPE to touch
Your freckles make stars pale in comparison
So, please take care of your planet?
Q: WhatCanUDo?
A: Do What U can!
This is me but replace “fruit” with “critters I found in my walls”
How life feels when you choose to eat an entire fridge of of fruit instead of lunch

🤔☝🏼Good To Know☝🏼🤔
I try really hard to post uplifting things because I get real sick and tired of all the refuse in the world sometimes and I don’t want to ever add to it.
But sometimes life gets too real, and people I care about get hurt. That’s very hard for me because nothing frustrates me more than feelings of helplessness and an inability to aide. Which is why I firmly believe that good information leads to good inspiration and prevention is the best intervention. With these feelings in mind, I’d like to share some stuff that I thought was useful from my women’s self defense class at university. Hopefully it can help somebody. Please stay safe y’all 🫡🙏🏼🍀🫂
