  To every mom reading this: We need each other. We need moms who listen without judgment. Moms who say, "I've been there too." Moms who don’t compete but lift each other up. This journey was never meant to be done alone. We were made to hold space for each other, to cry together in the hard moments and laugh in the messy ones. There is no one right way to mother. Let’s stop tearing each other down and start building each other up. Because when one mom rises, we all do. We are in this together. Always. You're doing better than you think. And I’m proud of you.  

"We Indians know about silence. We are not afraid of it. In fact, for us, silence is more powerful than words. Our elders were trained in the ways of silence, and they handed over this knowledge to us. Observe, listen, and then act, they would tell us. That was the manner of living. With you, it is just the opposite. You learn by talking. You reward the children that talk the most at school. In your parties, you all try to talk at the same time. In your work, you are always having meetings in which everybody interrupts everybody and all talk five, ten or a hundred times. And you call that ‘solving a problem’. When you are in a room and there is silence, you get nervous. You must fill the space with sounds. So you talk compulsorily, even before you know what you are going to say. White people love to discuss. They don’t even allow the other person to finish a sentence. They always interrupt. For us Indians, this looks like bad manners or even stupidity. If you start talking, I’m no...

Michael Landon (center) playing backgammon with crew members on set, captured in a rare, candid moment that shows the lighter, more playful side of the man behind Charles Ingalls. While millions knew him as the steadfast, loving father on Little House on the Prairie, those who worked closely with him knew he had a warmth, humor, and humility that made him equally beloved off-camera. Moments like these, sitting casually with crew members and enjoying a simple game, reveal the genuine camaraderie he fostered on set—he wasn’t just a co-worker or star, he was a friend and mentor. Landon had a remarkable ability to make everyone feel valued, whether it was a lead actor, a supporting cast member, or someone working behind the scenes. These small, joyful moments remind us that while he brought drama, heart, and inspiration to the screen, he also cherished the human connections and simple pleasures of everyday life, making the world of Little House feel as real behind the cameras as it did in ...

De maan en staven aas! Breek vrij van de illusie. De overtuigingen die je vast houdt in jezelf brengen je niet wat je graag wilt. Je blijft tegen dezelfde situaties aanlopen. En dat komt omdat je met dezelfde mindset een situatie in gaat. Laat de verwachtingen los zodat de nieuwe situatie zich kan ontvouwen op de manier zoals jij dat wilt diep in je hart. Heb vertrouwen in jezelf en zet de intentie dat de nieuwe situatie anders is dan de oude. Dat je beperkende overtuigingen los gaat laten zodat je vol vertrouwen, in liefde en met passie je diepste zielewensen kunt manifesteren. ----------------------------- The moon and ace of wands! Break free from the illusion. The beliefs that you are holding onto are not bringing you what you want. It is because you are entering a new situation with the same mindset. Let the expectations go so a new situation can unfold the way you want to deep inside your heart. Have faith in yourself and set the intention that the new situation is different than...

The success of Stop the Music took a toll on the ratings of the popular radio show hosted by satirist Fred Allen, who began spoofing Parks' program with skits mocking the premise of the show, one called Cease The Melody. He also helmed a daytime variety show in 1950, simply called The Bert Parks Show, as well as appearing in an episode of the comedy WKRP in Cincinnati. P...

  You’ll never look back and say, “I wish I held them less.” You’ll remember the nights you rocked them, the quiet hum of their breath on your chest, the way their tiny fingers wrapped around yours like you were their whole world. You’ll wish for just one more moment one more snuggle, one more time they needed only you. Because one day, they won’t fit in your arms the same way. They’ll grow and go and need you in different ways. So slow down. Soak it in. Hold the baby. Because you won’t regret it. Not ever. Not for a single second.  

Children are sacred in all Indigenous cultures. Protect our children and keep them with their families. A little Pikuni (Blackfeet) boy wearing wool leggings and a breechcloth in the 1890’s. Children wore small versions of adult clothing, included beaded outfits and dresses, along with ceremonial items such as headdresses. Boys usually wore nothing but breechcloths during warm weather, as did many men. The ears of children were pierced quite early, usually by older women who first recounted four noted deeds — like warriors — regarding such work as hide tanning and lodge (tipi) making. The main time to pierce ears was during Sun Dance inside the Medicine Lodge. Pikuni children learned by watching their elders and imitating their actions.

Koning van pentakels en de wereld! Na een einde komt een nieuw begin. Je voelt van alles boven komen uit je verleden. De pijn van het bedrog, het verdriet van de mensen die jou achter gelaten hebben. Het lijkt allemaal tegelijk te komen. In het verleden stopte je deze gevoelens weg door je te begraven in je werk. In de dingen te doen voor anderen. Nu ben je bereid het aan te kijken zodat je het achter je kunt laten. Voel waar in je lichaam je de blokkade voelt. Zie welke situaties er boven komen. Voel de boosheid, het verdriet en de verslagenheid die los komen uit deze situaties. Mediteer, ga boksen, huil, wandel, praat met iemand… doe iets waardoor je het gevoel kunt verwerken. Dit is het einde van een cyclus. Op naar het volgende hoofdstuk in jouw leven. -------------------------------- King of pentacles and the world! After and end there is a new beginning. You feel al lot voming up from your past. The pain of betrail, the sorrow of people who left you. It seems it comes all at once...

  So many moms talk about how lonely motherhood can feel. And it’s true. You spend your days pouring into tiny humans. Giving your love, your energy, your time. But sometimes, it feels like no one sees how much you're holding up. How much you're carrying. The invites stop. The texts slow down. Your friendships shift. And even when you're surrounded by people, the silence can feel loud. It’s not because you're doing anything wrong. It’s because motherhood changes everything. Your priorities, your time, your heart. You’re not weak for feeling this way. You’re not alone in feeling like this. You are doing an incredible job, even on the days that feel heavy and isolating. You deserve connection too. You deserve to be seen. Just because it’s common doesn’t make it any less hard. And you never have to pretend it’s easy when it’s not.

  Your kids don’t need a perfect mom. They don’t need someone who never makes mistakes or always has it all together. They need to see what it looks like to handle the hard days with grace. They need to see you apologize. They need to see you take deep breaths when everything feels too loud. They need to see you keep showing up, even when you’re tired and unsure. You are teaching them that it’s okay to be human. That love still shows up, even in the middle of the mess. That healing can come after hard moments. You don’t have to be perfect for them to feel safe. You just have to be real. And you are doing a beautiful job at that.

Wanneer een Empath nepmensen tegenkomt, is het gebruikelijk dat ze zich afsluiten als een vorm van bescherming. Dit kan worden gezien als struikelen over woorden of iemands geheugen en denkproces worden beïnvloed. Iedereen die geen waarachtige vibes uitstraalt, zal een Empath op hoog alarm zetten. Er zijn veel niveaus van valsheid en er zijn vele redenen voor. In de vroege dagen van het ontdekken van iemands empathische vermogens is het misschien niet altijd eenvoudig om aan te geven waarom iemand zich zo slecht door iemand voelt. Hier zijn enkele eigenschappen en gedragingen die je misschien vreselijk doen voelen: 1 Iemand die geliefd wil zijn bij iedereen die ze ontmoeten, doet te aardig om bewondering te krijgen. 2 Iemand die vervuld is van haat of woede en toch hard werkt om de wereld anders te overtuigen. 3 Iemand die een emotioneel destructieve jeugd heeft gehad waardoor ze onzeker en in pijn achtergelaten zijn en toch de stoere vent spelen. 4 Iemand die een geheel nieuwe persoon...

Wat is therapie? Lieve mensen, een therapeut begeleidt zijn cliënten tot aan de deur van diepere emoties, maakt de cliënt bewust van zijn handelen op acties en geeft inzicht in de kern van het probleem waarmee de cliënt worstelt. De therapeut kan helpen om door de deur heen te stappen en de emoties zo aanpakken dat in het heden het handelen op acties een verandering ondergaat, want automatisch vindt er door het inzicht dat zich openbaart in het diepe zelf een gedrag verandering, Helaas laat de therapeut daar de cliënt stuurloos op het nieuwe pad los.Het gevolg kan zijn een terugval, bij de eerste de beste teleurstelling of blokkade op hun nieuwe pad. Wat is spiritueel coaching? Het is de gedrag verandering die begeleiding verdiend , samen met een spiritueel coach kan worden gekeken hoe men het beste uit zijn nieuwe ik kan halen, hoe men leert om te onderscheiden wat eigen wil is en indoctrinatie.Een spiritueel coach werkt naar zelfstandigheid door haar cliënten te leren om zonder angs...

  For the parent who won’t wake up on Christmas morning to squeals and sleepy smiles, but to empty beds and a quiet house. I know this kind of quiet. The kind that feels louder than chaos ever did. The kind that makes the day feel heavy before your feet even hit the floor. If this year your children are waking up somewhere else, please hear this. This one morning does not define your parenting. It does not erase the nights you stayed up. The meals you made. The tears you wiped. The safety you built. There are 364 other days in the year. And magic is not confined to a calendar square. You are not missing Christmas. Christmas lives in you. In the way your kids feel safe in your presence. In the way they know your voice. In the way love shows up long after the decorations are put away. You are still their parent. You are still the magic. And this season of shared time does not lessen the bond you have built. Be gentle with yourself today. Grieve if you need to. Rest if you can. And re...

Sinterklaas zat alweer lang en breed in Spanje en Jetje had gisteren het allerlaatste speculaasje uit de koektrommel gegeten. Iedereen weet wat dat betekent: Kerstmis stond weer voor de deur. Toen ze 's avonds zaten te eten, vroeg Jetjes moeder: "Wat doen we met de feestdagen?" "Lekker eten natuurlijk," zei Jetjes vader. "Dat doen we toch elk jaar. Lekker eten en een lekkere fles wijn erbij." "En we nemen een grote kerstboom," zei Jetje. "De grootste die er is. En we hangen er gekleurde ballen in en de trekpop die ik gezaagd heb. En een heleboel kransjes. En we nemen ook een stalletje met Jozef en Maria." "We zijn toch niet katholiek?" zei haar moeder. "Dat heeft er niets mee te maken," zei Jetje. "Iedereen mag een kerststalletje hebben." "Als je maar weet dat ik geen kerstgroep ga kopen," zei Jetjes moeder. "Die zijn vreselijk duur. Maak zelf maar een kerstgroep van klei. Per slot van re...
