Take what you need ✨⠀
⠀
A few other things you can take from:⠀
⠀
-Brene Brown ...a Call to Courage on Netflix (for all the leaders out there) or her book Dare to Lead (obsessed with B.B right now).⠀
⠀
-Supplements that offer support for stress, sleep, hair, skin & nails. (I’m trying out Persona they offer a cocktail of supplements/vitamins)⠀
⠀
-Workout playlist (currently listening to Gaga + Blackpink peppered with Pride 🏳️‍🌈 essentials)⠀
⠀
-Dance party with your kids. ⠀
⠀
-New workout routine. (You need to try out the @peloton app so many options for at home workouts ...my new obsession).⠀
⠀
-A new morning routine. Think mind, body, soul. Morning meditation or quiet time, a walk/or workout, create a to do list, plan your meals for the work week. ⠀
⠀
- Maybe you need to rest. Take what you need and listening to yourself. ⠀
⠀
⠀
What do you currently need? 🧐⠀

How does this make you feel?⠀

Navigating how you’re going to ease back into social spaces is a very personal choice. Remember to be kind while we all work on figuring it out.⠀

“Why do you feel it’s important for you to bre

“Why do you feel it’s important for you to breastfeed as a woman of color? "There is a huge disparity within the black community regarding breastfeeding, and because of this, the rates of infant mortality is up. Why are black women not breastfeeding? There are various reasons. History, socio-economics, racial biases within the medical industry, you name it. They all play a part. I breastfeed because I now realize that breastfeeding is truly amazing for my baby. I breastfeed because I can. I share images of me breastfeeding to show that black women do breastfeed, and to encourage other moms of color. Ten years ago, we didn’t have Instagram. It could have been quite beneficial to look online and have access to photos of beautiful black women nursing their babes." - @bstereo | photo by @redanchorphoto"

"Welcome to pregnancy in 2020 in the middle of #Co

"Welcome to pregnancy in 2020 in the middle of #Covid19 😳 Yesterday, at over 32 weeks pregnant, I had a phone appointment with my doctor and today I had a 5 minute “drive thru” appointment to check my blood pressure and baby’s heartbeat. I’d say this picture is one for the baby book😂🙊 It’s weird to say that I’m sorta just used to the feeling of uncertainty and anxiety of being pregnant during this time, but also that I’m totally at peace with it at this point. I feel sad for those experiencing their first pregnancy this way... but the gift at the end is worth it all”⠀

I have shifts in my mood where I find the positive

I have shifts in my mood where I find the positive and negative in life scenarios sometimes at the same time. Quarantine does some interesting things to my psyche.⠀
⠀
~⠀
⠀
A few things that I can do with a little less of but find interesting or funny. ⠀
⠀
⠀
1. The use of “unprecedented times”. 🦠 ⠀
⠀
2. Bad internet during zoom calls (despite how hilarious a robot sounding colleague is - pretty f-ing hilarious) 🤖 ⠀
⠀
3. The explanation of why we can’t have play dates for the millionth time. (Kids never lose hope). 🧒 ⠀
⠀
4. Watching the news filled with clips of people blatantly going against the W.H.O. recommendations. (some of these "hot spots" are so outrageously packed I would never step foot even in a normal circumstance...I digress). Also, what do the people caught in these pictures think about being publicly shamed? 🤔 ⠀ ⠀
5. The McDonald’s commercial that has a damn catchy tune and seems to play on a MF loop. (The “better days” Jeep commercial for that matter - thanks OneRepublic) 🥺 make it stop. ⠀
⠀
6. Wiping and washing everything that comes into the house. 📦 + 🍎 🥬 + 🖐🏽⠀
⠀
7. Dry AF hands. (Although I think the warm weather is helping). ☀️ ⠀
⠀
8. TikTok Challenges (but somehow I can’t stop watching or moving to). 📱💃🏽⠀

Yup. I’m one of those...⠀ I love crystals. ⠀

Yup. I’m one of those...⠀
I love crystals. ⠀
You see...everything in life has a vibration. ⠀
⠀
Crystals are made of particles that hold energy which can emit a vibration. Even though we can’t see it, crystals vibrate. ⠀⠀⠀
It’s believed that when you’re drawn to a crystal, it’s a sign that this is what you need. ⠀
⠀
I'm drawn to...⠀ ⠀

Quartz enhances spiritual growth, spirituality, awareness, and wisdom. It increases inspiration and creativity. It can also help with concentration, studying, and retaining information that you’ve learned.
