#Repost @shebamccants • • • • • How are you practicing radical self-love today? . For me it's been less scrolling and screen time, spending time with friends and family, art, affirmations, networking and creating beloved community, organizing my home, cooking, and dancing. . Also reading - this book was such a beautiful, breezy, quick read. It's one that I could see myself going back to time and time again. @sonyareneetaylor reminds us, "Humans are a varied and divergent bunch with all manner of beliefs, morals, and bodies. Systems of oppression thrive off our inability to make peace with difference and injure the relationship we have with our own bodies. The Body Is Not an Apology offers radical self-love as the balm to heal the wounds inflicted by these violent systems." #Repost @sober_book_worm • • • • • • • I’m still working on this one. • I’ve quit drinking alcohol but I haven’t quit self medicating. • Now instead of reaching for a bottle, I reach for coffee. I reach for food. I reach for my phone. Some distraction. Some numbing agent. Something to keep from thinking and feeling and facing. • In his book “Recovery” which I’m currently reading and which is speaking to me on such a core level it’s uncanny, Russell Brand asks, “What is the pain? What does it want?” • It’s a question that for me still needs answering. And while I’m still reaching for things outside myself, it will remain a nagging, pestering, unanswered calling. Something that prevents me from filling the voids with my own self love. • And so even though I’ve stopped drinking, the work has just begun. • • Have you found yourself reaching for some other thing the same way you once reached for booze? Do you know what the pain wants? • • Happy #sobersunday 😊❤️. • • • #QOTD #wordstoliveby #radicalselflove #soulwork Every time i create something and put it into the world little Sonya gets terrified. Always wondering if she will be rejected. If rejection means abandonment. What if she is not good enough to make you all love her. I practice doing my work because it is my work to do. Because the God(Love) is constantly asking to come through me. What is creation for, if not to make God(Love) visible in the world. I have had this course for 3 years. I have never really promoted or released it because of little Sonya's fears. WI am trying to be faster about sharing the work of God(Love's) tangible manifestations through me. I am trying to hide less. Let it through me and then let it go and do whatever it is called to do. I created a course to help you feel closer to the divine love that is in you, to make it manifest in the world. If you feel inclined, please check it out. Take it. Share it. Spread a little Love(God) in the world. It's my small contribution to a changed world. Link in my bio friends. when i got sick of my shit. i changed. #Repost @chanteburkett • • • • • #ParentTalk So #minime is officially in #preteen and All I can think of is how it’s not the same when I was little girl - I don’t need to not hold back and be sure to teach my daughter everything about her body and how to negative to life before she’s heavily influenced by friends and others. We kind of jumped on this early on- like almost 2 years ago (when she walked in on me and saw my lady friend lol) but of course the giggles and the embarrassing phase had to pass. Now we’re going all in and I’m giving her books to read - we’re watching videos - and having real conversations. It’s safe to say that we’re currently at a comfortable spot with chatting about puberty and her lady friend that’s set to start soon😬 if you have a daughter in preteen or a teen I highly suggest this book called “Celebrate Your Body (and the Changes Too!) it’s the ultimate #puberty book for girls 🙌🏾 (it has great illustrations) it’s the book I wish I had as a teen. I’ve linked it for fellow mothers, just click the link in my bio 😉Moms we have to get our little ladies ready 🤗 P.S. #minime also rocks girls plus click link in bio to shop her look (these jeggings are currently on sale for $10 the fit is so good she’s a size 16 -and she’s TALLL) . . . #littleblackgirl #girlswear #girlsstyle #blackgirlmagic #tweengirls #blackgirlhair #tweengirl #girlootd #tweengirlhairstyle #girlsstyles #tweenhairstyles #tween #teenfashion #tweens #tweenfashion  #teenstyle #tweenclothing  #tweenootd #girlshairstyles #tweenstyle #tweenager #tweenlife #ocalaflorida #AllAtJCP #Repost @erin.rdn.atl • • • • • I was reading “The Body is Not An Apology” this morning✨ @sonyareneetaylor • When did it become natural to dishonor my body? • Why is it normal to be self-deprecating? • Why does that often translate into disrespecting those around us? • Radical self love IS the transformative experience we need. And as Sonya says, it is in us already✨✨✨
