Here’s a Ted-talk from 12 years back on the topic of vulnerability as a method of reconnecting with self. Just a refresher for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet. Highly recommended!

… ask yourself these three questions:...

I try to do what I can to make my local community better. I research and vote in every election, donate money to local nonprofits and also volunteer there when I can (heading to the food bank in a bit, yay!), and try to speak out and offer words of encouragement when I can....

In addition, including tree planting projects in these programs and giving...

My journey has included psilocybin that alleviated addiction and much of my anxiety — and allowed the further work I’d been needing to do for well over a decade. By the end of April, I felt like I was...

I saw a lot of interest in personal growth and betterment so this is the place to tell us what you’re proud of and hype up other community members 💚

One of the things I'd like to include in thr community garden I'm working on establishing is a food pantry. I'd love to have a place with recycled containers to take home garden goodies, residents to leave extra dry goods, and things like care products/toiletries. I've seen pictures of them online and read articles about them...

this Google spreadsheet doubles as a sustainability resource, but it's generally a good starting point if you're looking to put money where your mouth is in trying to improve your clothing consumptive habits. it also has some basic, useful words defining what slow fashion is and its principles. i've transcribed these (and the...
