The Wisdom of Warrior Woman

a post by a blogger new to me that I 

am particularly enjoying. 

This is Just a Reminder

(and I think you'll find it refreshing)

A beautifully vulnerable story by

Vivienne about passing through the fear.

I will just always love Kate:

i think i finally don't care as much

about the way i look

Some of the most beautiful writing

I have read in a long time. 

SO happy to have Rachele back on the

blogging scene! And this post was just

fantastic.

Mara is hosting a--pretty amazing--four week class,

Permission Granted, and it starts in just a few

short weeks, so I urge you to hurry and check it

out! 

It was the month of great class offers,

because Hannah's From Coping to Thriving

sounds amazing. Even if you don't want

to take the class, I encourage you to read 

the post. 

One of my favorite posts from Chrissy

to date. Her words are like talking to a friend -

so personal and honest.

(Oh, yes. Here I am doing my weekly reads,

two weeks late and at the middle-end of a random

week. Because college has taken over me from

the inside out, and Thursday night felt like a good a night

as any to put up some fantastic reads for you. Enjoy~) 

This is a post overflowing with encouragement

 at going for your biggest goals! It's like a big 

hug and warm drink of coffee. 

A needed reminder to CELEBRATE. Even when

there's nothing to necessarily celebrate.

 Do you celebrate?!

My Women's Diversity course is offering me the 

best readings, including this. As a white woman 

blogging most often on image this was particularly

relevant. 

Mindful eating?! Yes, yes, YES. 

This post answers the question "If I stop dieting, 

will I gain weight?" Per.Fect.Ly.

I am unabashedly obsessed with Everyday

Feminism right now. Including their 

Five Secrets Every (LGBTQ+) Woman

Should Know

Jen wrote on a self-reflection project she 

participated in, and I am so planning on doing

one for myself!

Sign up for this "bonanza of love notes" from beautiful 

Mara Glatzel! I know I did, and the first e-mail was just 

as wonderful and uplifting as I could have hoped.

Ever-encouraging Jes wrote one of the most raw

and INSPIRING pieces I've read to date. It was beyond 

powerful.

Seriously, just read this; it will make you happy.

 Chrissy is amazing. 

Ooo, yes. This hit me a bit painfully in the gut of

realization. But sometimes learning and 

growing can pinch us in the soft spots:

The line between getting real and giving up.

Reflection time with Vivienne! Made me think about

the wrong stereotypes I've attributed to my body

over the years...What about you? 

Jes (if you haven't noticed, I love her) introduces

Louise Green who completely rocked my

world with this post. 

And for the last knock-out of the week, lovely

Vivienne gives us 10 Reasons to Begin Your

Self-Portrait Journey.

Rachele talks feminism and shows off one of

her best outfits yet with OOTD: Fat Cat Lady Feminist.

A beautiful post on teaching kids going

back to school about children different than

 them by a mom and superhero changing 

the world for her two boys with autism. 

Because I'm obsessed with crystals
and love learning about them! 



You never get less than awesome with
Jes at The Militant Baker, especially
with this post on short hair:
 I WEAR WHAT I WANT: FAT CHICK + SHORT HAIR
