If you think someone’s shirt is cool, tell them! If you think your friend is beautiful, tell them! If you love someone’s art, tell them! Speak goodness into the world, it is time to stop suppressing kind thoughts. 🧡 — photo: @anyaholdstock muse: @hunkybunky_
“My goal involves developing stories that resonate with everyone in one way or another. ‘The Hair Appointment’ [series] allowed us to display an idea that triggers a nostalgic feeling within. Moments that we’ve all seen before in and around our homes, neighborhoods, barbershops, hair salons, and even movies.” - words/producer: @josefamadu photo: @jeremyodneyhill via: @ssunday.co
Things to Stop Tolerating 1. Toxic relationships and environments. 2. Rudeness and a lack of basic courtesy. 3. A disregard of healthy and appropriate boundaries. 4. Being constantly used and disrespected by others. 5. Hiding your true self, or your personality. 6. Feeling bored and empty, or feeling life lacks meaning. 7. The pressure to “just settle”- and give up on your dreams. - photo: @johnyuyi
Can you imagine? 😲
A free society has elections where voters make choices. Cheating to win, which is what we are seeing in: #NorthDakota (essentially banning Native Americans from voting), #Georgia (freezing 50k newly registered black voters), #Florida (registration site went down 2 days before deadline) along with Texas and North Carolina, is an outrageous breach of the values of a free society. Keep focusing on the bigger picture. Keep encouraging people to check their voter registration status. VOTE! ✊🏽
The Placebo Effect is scientifically supported proof that we have the ability to heal ourselves. Our thoughts are powerful enough to bring things into existence. Help yourself heal. ❤️ - photo: @jonathanwolpert muse: @efirocha
