💫I believe in the power of stories to spark our compassion for ourselves and for others. Sharing our stories can help us recognize that we are all connected.

Inviting YOU to share one of your stories at SayItForward.org or to read the stories others have posted!💫

Say It Forward - Women's Stories, in their own words

Encouraging women and girls to share their stories of overcoming fear and self-limiting beliefs, reminding others that they are not alone.

Building on your knowledge of individual interests can help people consider new ways of using them to experience alternative opportunities which may not have previously been considered, or something totally new, possibly even radical. Read more �‘‰ https://lttr.ai/AiYSo

I had a choice: i could either let the darkness of the world swallow me or
I could do what i could to help make the world a little bit brighter.

Google Lens admits it can’t identify this Yakima Arboretum rose except to say it’s “variegated”…I wanted to respond with “Well, duh…” but AI doesn’t seem chatty…

An ancient oak (Quercus robur - le chêne à Guillotin) that is 16 m tall and more than 9.60 m at its widest point.
It is at least 500 years old (Bretagne, France).
The wooden structure surrounding the tree was removed in 2019 to allow it to breathe better.

here I am
ankle deep in endings
leaves scatter
yellow red and copper...
there’s grace in decay
beauty in things letting go
the branches above
are already bare
waiting
and I stand beneath them
feeling the seasons chill breath
something pulls at my soul
the same force
that loosens the leaves

I could have stood in front of this Minneapolis parking lot all day just to admire this five story tall homage to Minnesota’s native son. Painted by Brazilian artist Eduardo Kobra and his team.🧵 #TagTuesday #StreetArt #Art #Music #Minneapolis #FolkRock #Urbanscape #EastCoastKin #Photography

#poem

This morning while cleaning the bathroom I wanted to tell you:

"Don't mix Clorox with antibacterial soap because it causes a toxic gas and you could pass out"

but you're dead and can't hear me and even if you can you have no use for this advice except to know that I love you very much.
