In honor of Women's Equality Day ...

“I am not free while any woman is unfree, 

even when her shackles are very different from my own.” 

Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider

Today, August 26, 2018, is the 98th anniversary of women winning the right to vote in the United States.  This win was the result of decades of dedicated and courageous women, and some men, who fought for women's rights as citizens.  

Though this is the anniversary of the The 19th Amendment of the US Constitution being ratified and granting women the right to vote, there is still much work to be done, especially under the current administration.  Making Audre Lorde's quote as pertinent and powerful today as it was when she penned it.

Today, remember the importance of ‪#‎selflove‬!!!!

I've come to believe that caring for myself 

is not self-indulgent. 

Caring for myself is an act of survival.

Audre Lorde

So much is written about self love and self care.  It is so important,

for you, for those who depend on you, for those around you and

for the world in general. 

What the world needs is more people to love themselves. 

Rune Lazuli

so PLEASE practice self love!

love, mom
