The great Reverend Cecil Williams is no longer with us. I was sad to learn this earlier today at Glide SF. Talk about a life well-lived!
I’m grateful I attended today’s Sunday service, which celebrated his amazing life.
So many women in my feed today. I love it! Why can’t it be International Women’s Day every day?

"The Orwell Test" (for identifying propaganda or disinformation)
1. Facts: Is the information supported by facts that can be confirmed through established methods of validation, meeting legal, scientific or logical standards of proof?
2. Source: Is the information from a provider with a history of accurate reporting?
3. Method: Does the source use professional and accepted techniques of factual reporting without relying on deceptive tactics or logical fallacies?

Three books have been helpful to me when it comes to changing my language in support of my personal growth, healing, and self-care – perhaps others here find them supportive too:
❤️ “Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Compassion” by Marshall Rosenberg
❤️ “Codependent No More” by Melody Beattie
❤️ “Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself” by Kristin Neff
