Hannah Arendt must be somewhere endlessly, muttering to herself, “I told you so…”

Do you ever feel like a weekend lover or a mistress (or “mantress” if you’re a fella)? “Your feelings of equity matter to us.” Whether you’re single, in a couple, or a polycule, it’s VITALLY IMPORTANT to speak up and self-advocate for your needs. www.facebook.com/reel/3838764...

Books & Chill. Date night. Let’s read aloud to each other. #dating

After many years, I’ve finally been able to learn that FEAR is actually an acronym. False Evidence Appearing Real Fear was wired into us when we had to fight or take flight when a predator was nearby. But we aren’t foraging on the savana anymore.

Sometimes I just want to plunge my hands and arms into a bin full of lentils. I’m respectful and don’t do it because it’s rude and unhygienic, but a grocery store is like a neverending honey pot for a sensualist. #feelinggood

Be the glitch in the Matrix. Break the cycle. Stop the ride. Step out of line.

“I pity the fool!” 😊

“The process of spotting fear and refusing to obey it is the source of all true empowerment.” - Martha Beck

“…the question my daughter asked wasn’t about sex, it was about love.” Yes!!! I cannot ❤️ this enough. Since he was a toddler, my son (he’s now 11) has understood about LGBTQ. We explained it to him in kid-appropriate language he could understand. #loveislove #kidsarenotstupid #parenting

“In 900 years of time and space, I've never met anyone who wasn't important.” I’ve been watching Doctor Who since I was 12. This quote is my biggest takeaway from the program. No matter how insignificant they think they are, nobody is unimportant. Every person matters. #inspiration

Thursday is #TrashDay, my excellent friends. What PERSON, THING, OR FEELING is something you’d like to throw into the trash and have hauled away? (Good, Bad, Meh) For example: • “My aunt who keeps asking when I’m going to get married.” • “This cough that won’t go away.” • “This dread and ennui.”

“Why is it the people who need the most help won’t take it?” - from A River Runs Through It I ask myself this question every day. Not to be judgmental, but only in curiosity. #questions

“St. Bob” was my top listen this year. No shocker there. But Jerry Goldsmith as number 5? I listened to the soundtrack for “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” far more than I thought! #SpotifyWrapped Top Artists 1. Bob Marley 2. U2 3. Frank Sinatra 4. The Beatles 5. Jerry Goldsmith

Wisdom You Once Knew But Temporarily Forgot “And that is the way this thing goes. Layers. There are many. Be willing to see them. Intelligence is deeper in those who push past what they believe they already know.” - Unlnown #quotes

Anyone else feeling this way? My ex was an astrologer and used to say, “You can’t make this shit up.” I believe it.

“The whole world is a very narrow bridge. The main thing is not to let yourself be afraid.” - Nachman of Breslov 18th century rabbi / psychologist Meet your fear. Learn from it. Walk on through it.

Enough with the bare minimum. You deserve a LOT more than that. Yes, YOU. 💚💙❤️🩵💜 #relationships #love
