May I re-mind you: your potential is completely negotiable
"Who am I to call myself an artist / a writer / a yoga instructor / a personal trainer / or anything for that matter? Who am I to own my intelligence. To be fierce. And bold. And brilliant AF!?" This chronic questioning, this sense of inadequacy of somehow falling short is common ground on which we all meet. I hear it in clients, I hear it at sister circle, I hear it in my own head. It’s part of the human condition and why wouldn’t it be. We are a conglomerations of contradictions - [...]
![I want to begin with a thank you. A thank you to the world for watching in... for giving a shit... for being there. Over the past few weeks I’ve seen good humans from all corners of the globe making a stand. They’re interrupting their usual insta programs for something more important. This. 👆🏻 Innocence under fire (People, animals a planet hurting)
They understand, “When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe." ~ John Muir
This country is part of the indivisible whole. We’re all in this together.
When the Amazon was on fire, we likened it to Earth’s lungs burning because it delivers so much earth-wide oxygen. The fires in Australia have exceed those in the Amazon and California by a “MAGNITUDE OF MANY ORDERS” (Bodie Ashton). It’s a crisis that affects all of us. A crisis worthy of attention, action and intervention on a global scale.
I say, “intervention” because the leader of this country has chosen the fossil fuel lobby over his own people.
While our Gov pours $$ into marketing campaigns and keeping the fossil fuel industries alive, beating hearts like @Celestebarber (local Aussie) manage to raise 50 million for volunteer fire fighters.
I read a story yesterday about a U.S woman #TheNakedPhilantropist (no ties to Aus) raising over $700, 000 by offering a nude pic to anyone who sent her a receipt ($10 or more) to one of the listed Aus charities. #HeroesDon’tAlwaysWearCapes...Or clothes 😉
Why wait for our leaders to lead? “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed it’s the only thing that ever does.” Margaret Mead
It goes without saying, Scott Morrison didn’t wish this upon us. However, he is the prime minister who, in spite of these apocalyptic conditions, continues to insist that climate change is not worth talking about. “This is not the time to talk about climate change.” He says. “We need to grow our economy.” Good luck with that when Australia becomes a postcard-perfect, hell-on-earth (see the vid above).
