The meaning of true love from a man.

I hate to say this but most women will go their entire lifetime and never experience the meaning of actual true love.

It's even slightly depressing to think that most people will never understand how powerful this picture actually is.

This gentleman is a prime example of how men should be treating their partner with everyday that passes.

We unfortunately live in a generation with men who have no idea what it takes to be a real man.

Let me give you a couple examples of a real man ......

A real man asks about your day and genuinely cares about the answer.

A real man respects your boundaries and never forces you to anything you're not ready to do.

He makes time for you, and takes that time to learn and understand who you are as a person.

A real man consistently shows you the definition of effort with every day that passes.

He will call you randomly throughout the day just to check on you and your mental health.

A real man is undeniably committed to you and looks for new ways to fall in love with you with every day that passes.

He makes protecting your heart a number one priority.

A real man never makes permanent decisions based on temporary emotions.

He never confuses you on where you stand in his life.

A real man apologizes when he is wrong and stays true to his character.

He doesn't mind hurting other people's feeling to protect yours.

A real man gives you affection without sexual expectation.

A real man refuses to entertain any women that isn't you.

He has genuine intentions with you from day one and shows you how it truly feels to be a priority rather an option.

A real man will help you heal from the trauma that nobody apologized for.

A real man values you and would never put themselves in a position to lose you.

Take my advice and wait for the man that never let's you fall asleep at night questioning your own self worth.

I am the daughter
of a daughter.
Who is the daughter
of a daughter.
Who is also the daughter
of a daughter.
Some of us are mothers
but all of us are daughters,
all birthed through lines
that weave back to
that First Mother.
All connected from
the very beginning.
All connected in the now.
Mothers,
Daughters,
Grandmothers,
Great Grandmothers,
Great Great Grandmothers.
All daughters born from
One. Original. Egg.
from
One. Original. Woman.
So why the separation?
Why the animosity toward each other?
Why the arguing and fighting,
back-stabbing and lack of support?
The next time you see another woman,
look in her eyes and see the
Ancestral Lines – the lines of women –
that lead back to you.
Where are we going Mother?
And how will we get there Sister?
By staying connected Daughter
and allowing for difference.
For we are each one,
after all,
all Daughters
of Daughters
of Daughters
of our
One Mother.

THE WOMEN BEFORE

It is not just your mother who may walk with you in spirit, it is her mother too. And her mother’s mother. And her mother’s friends, who loved by choice and not blood. And the women before them. Generations and generations of female energy, watching in admiration as you forge ahead living better, feeling better, accepting better, than they ever did. As they were much hoped you would.
So, when you feel low, lonely or unloved. Remember them, feel them. They are with you, and they burn brightly with their boundless light, in everything you do. You, my friends, are the ‘moment in time’ of many women gone before, and you will lay pathways, like they did, for those who come up next.
What a beautiful, unending legacy.

The dandelion is the only flower that represents the 3 celestial bodies of the sun, moon and stars. ☀️ 🌙 ⭐️. The yellow flower resembles the sun, the puff ball resembles the moon and the dispersing seeds resemble the stars.

The dandelion flower opens to greet the morning and closes in the evening to go to sleep. 😴

Every part of the dandelion is useful: root, leaves, flower. It can be used for food, medicine and dye for coloring.

Up until the 1800s people would pull grass out of their lawns to make room for dandelions and other useful “weeds” like chickweed, malva, and chamomile.

The name dandelion is taken from the French word “dent de lion” meaning lion’s tooth, referring to the coarsely-toothed leaves. 🦁

Dandelions have one of the longest flowering seasons of any plant.

Dandelion seeds are often transported away by a gust of wind and they travel like tiny parachutes. Seeds are often carried as many as 5 miles from their origin!

Animals such as birds, insects and butterflies consume nectar or seed of dandelion.🐦 🐛 🐜 🦋 🐝.

Dandelion flowers do not need to be pollinated to form seed.

Dandelion can be used in the production of wine and root beer. Root of dandelion can be used as a substitute for coffee. 🍷 🍺

Dandelions have sunk their roots deep into history. They were well known to ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, and have been used in Chinese traditional medicine for over a thousand years.

Dandelion is used in folk medicine to treat infections and liver disorders. Tea made of dandelion act as diuretic.

If you mow dandelions, they’ll grow shorter stalks to spite you.

Dandelions are, quite possibly, the most successful plants that exist, masters of survival worldwide. 💪

A not so fun fact: Every year countries spend millions on lawn pesticides to have uniform lawns of non-native grasses, and we use 30% of the country’s water supply to keep them green.

"Sisterhood is the phenomenon that occurs when women quit seeing each other as mirrors, or reflections of themselves, and start seeing each other as one-of-a-kind works of art.

Sisterhood happens when women view each other as deep wells of support and inspiration — as teammates — instead of competitors.

Sisterhood happens between women who are secure enough to stop being afraid of each other; who do not feel that another woman's different life choices are a judgment of her own choices.

Sisterhood happens when we become curious instead of defensive about our differences.
Sisterhood does not require the same beliefs or thoughts or political parties or churches.
Peace is not about becoming the same; it's about becoming okay with being different.

There is so much untapped power in sisterhood."

Thank you Circle Of Women for sharing this!
🙏🩵💜✨

It was never you.
It was never that you weren’t enough.
Or too much.
Your energy was perfect.
But…
Your energy woke their demons.
It shook their shadows.
It triggered their darkest places.
Shaking them to grow.
Making them accountable for their bu****it.
Calling out their innermost behaviour.

Shining a light so bright into the darkness.
And it wasn’t their time.

You were perfect.
They weren’t ready x

"The old threads are unraveling,
Get your needles ready.
We are stitching a new quilt
of Humanity.
Bring your old t-shirts,
worn out jeans, scarves,
antique gowns, aprons,
old pockets of plenty
who have held Earth's treasures,
stones, feathers, leaves,
love notes on paper.
Each stitch
A mindful meditation.
Each piece of material
A story.
The more colour the better,
so call in the Tribes.
Threads of browns, whites,
reds, oranges
Women from all nations
start stitching.
Let's recycle the hate, the abuse,
the fear, the judgment.
Turn it over, wash it clean,
ring it out to dry.
It's a revolution
of recycled wears.
Threads of greens, blues, purples
Colourful threads
of peace, kindness,
respect, compassion
are being stitched
from one continent to the next
over forests, oceans, mountains.
The work is hard
Your fingers may bleed.
But each cloth stitched together
Brings together a community.
A world, our future world
Under one colourful quilt.
The new quilt of humanity."

Annual Easter reminder that the Ancient Cults of Resurrection are rooted in the Marriage of Earth with the Celestial Sphere.

In the larger historical picture, Eostre is part of a long line of dawn goddesses including the Sumerian Inanna, Greek Eos, Roman Aurora and Indian Ushas who were derived from the cosmological symbolism of the Sun and Venus rising together from the eastern sky. The planet Venus was thus the East Star, or ‘Easter,’ of the sunrise. And the Sun, is her Son.

Easter is simply another Pagan, Earth Based Mystery celebration, co-opted by the Romans.

Christmas is the Celebration of Winter, and the birth of the “Sun” (Son) while Easter, is the Pagan celebration of Spring. Overcoming the Dark.

Easter, and the Mystery Cults of Resurrection have a deep connection to the ancient lineages of the Goddess and their symbolism as the bridge between Heaven and Earth. The Original and only Portal.

The Goddess (Venus) and the Sun (Son)

Last year, Clark Strand Published the following, and I’d like to share it with you, because it so beautifully encapsulates what we are all secretly celebrating today.

"IS IT ALL REALLY ABOUT JESUS?

(Or, Where Do the Mysteries of the Rosary Come from Anyway?)

A few years ago, just before Easter, we had a lively discussion after one of our meetings about the Fifteen Mysteries and the fact that—especially for survivors of patriarchal religious institutions—they can feel so Jesus heavy. I agreed to write something up at that time so that we had a record of the discussion and the things we talked about. Here is the gist of it.

Christianity is a mystery religion. The story it tells is an ecological story, not a theological one—a redemptive story of circular time, rather than a punitive story of linear time, or “end time.” The church doesn’t interpret the Christian story that way because it has spent two thousand years denying its roots in pagan mystery religion. But it’s all there—a secret hidden in plain view about which the popes and priests must, of necessity, remain willfully unaware. Otherwise, they would have to become feminists.

The Christian mysteries are pagan mysteries. As preserved in the fifteen mysteries of the rosary, the Christian story is a retelling of a much older story of a Mother Goddess and Her Lover (sometimes her Son or Brother) who is slain and then resurrected, usually in the spring time, as the world is beginning to regreen and the crops begin to grow. The Christian story is an ecological story about a Mother Goddess whose body includes ALL bodies. This is the way Kirkpatrick Sale explains it at the end of his most recent book, The Collapse of 2020:

“The reason that the collapse of human civilization does not trouble me overmuch is that I am an ardent believer in Gaea, the mother earth, creator of the creators, first of the cosmos, in the words of Plato, “a living creature, one and visible, containing within herself all living creatures.”

Jesus is defined by his relationship with Mary. The Catholic Church calls Mary the “Mother of God” because she gave birth to Jesus, not because it believes her to be divine. In a mystery religion it is just the opposite. The child/brother/lover (who is often mortal) is defined by his relationship to the Mother Goddess. There are lots of leftover pagan “tells” in the rosary to indicate that this is the case.
One of the most obvious is the Greek term Parthenos that is used for “virgin” is the New Testament story. A “virgin” was a free agent: a woman who chose to retain her sexual independence, taking lovers, and even conceiving a child, without the need for a husband. In religious contexts, the term was applied to goddesses like Artemis or Athena.

The rosary is a Marian narrative. Jesus occupies an important position in the story of the fifteen mysteries, but the overall narrative, which begins with Mary and ends with Mary, indicates that the rosary is a gynocentric devotion—"one centered on or concerned with women; taking a female point of view.”

HAPPY EASTER!"
