Parts of Me

Hello!! I've noticed quite a few new followers around this part [thanks to giveaways, Her Campus Blogger Network and I like to think my awesome writing skills...] so I've decided to do an About Me survey that we all know I love so much! [Seriously, I used to have to restrict myself to two max a day during my MySpace days.]

Also, I was going to get a little bit political crazy today, but then I got to play on my FB with politics and discussions and I think I'm satiated. Although, I would love to know what you think of certain links. I will attach them at the bottom :)

Well, I hope that was entertaining for you! It gave you so much information and nothing at the same time. 

Here are the basics:

I want to change the world and make a dent. I want us to work together, through conversations and love to make changes in our world. I want women and girls to feel empowered and to love themselves. I want to do good in every day. I want to understand people's actions and accept them for them - even if they are not something I would do. I went to school for journalism and am currently a teacher. My fiance has been my best friend for 10 years and we have a beautiful love story filled with overcoming much. Love is all that I ever want and need. I have an anxiety disorder that can cloud my mind and take control of my body. Have you ever battled yourself for control of yourself? I love too much and I get hurt. I forgive far too easily, but I can't see a point in staying angry. There's just so much more you could know. Get to know me, the movement, and have fun following along!

Yogi Tea Wisdom

I've been sick and have a horrible cough. To combat it, I've upped my daily tea consumption and have been drinking Yogi's echinecea tea
(YUM!)

This morning my tea bag had someof thw wisest WQ words: "May your mind learn to love with compassion."

It got me thinking about girl cruelty and judging and all of that fun stuff that I often write about. Maybe the reason we have it so wrong is because society believes that we are born judgmental and with innate feelings of superiority.

As an educated person, many of us know that this is not true. We learn our judgments and prejudices socially. Beyond that, we learn HOW to judge in the same way. Which means we can unlearn judgment. We can break the bad habit. It may be the hardest habit to ever break...but we can do it!

New life goal :)

Coupled with the goal to try to educate and protect my future children to live without judgment.
