To our sisters: You are descendants of a line of unbothered, unwavering, uncompromising, unyielding, and fearless foremothers, who never hesitated or halted when it came time to work, protect, love, speak, risk, resist, or fight. Remember where you come from today. Because despite it all… Still. You. Rise. ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿 ||
If your body is telling you to avoid certain people, places and things - listen to it. Your body is your compass in the physical world. Learn to flow with it. Stay present and become aware of its messages.
Toddlers are so pure. She doesn’t understand that we help her with certain things because she’s little. She thinks that everyone just helps each other like that. So she tries to blow on my food and cut it up for me and tries to help me put on my shoes.
i was giving little wagon rides to a baby around the backyard one day and all of a sudden she hops off and slaps the seat of the wagon telling me to get on because it was my turn and i was like no it’s ok im too heavy and she was like NO ITS UR TURN and kept tugging on my hand so i would sit down. eventually i got on and it was just a little 2 year old trying so hard to push me around on a wagon not understanding why it wouldn’t budge but still so determined to let me have my turn lol
I don’t think I’d realised how many casual compliments we pay to our toddler until she started casually complimenting us back, because experience has taught her that’s How Social Interaction Is Done, and there’s nothing quite like a very earnest three-year-old solemnly and sincerely informing you that you look wonderful and smell nice to make you feel really good about yourself
I tell her she’s my best girl. She tells me I’m her best auntie. Then we both feel good about the world!
