Never before
Alone at night I stare a the Black raging sea Fierce waves Wash away the Rock under my feet No one can save you I hum shyly and All bursts into chant The stars Cloud and waves Sway to the rhythm together You ask if I’m okay Maniacal laughter Comes out of my lips Never before Have I felt So fucking alive

Teaching children to walk, the safe and empowering way
I don’t remember how it’s like to learn how to walk. According to my parents, it was a painful process for everyone involved. I managed to master the art of getting up and gaining speed long before I was able to decelerate and sit safely back down. In result, for the first few weeks I kept smashing my head against a wall or a piece of furniture with full speed. If my parents didn’t supervise me 24/7, the results could be tragic. I’m not alone in my problems related to learning to walk. My fiancé started doing it long before his bone structure was ready, and has had his hip misaligned ever since. It’s almost as if Nature designed this process in a very irresponsible manner. If I were to do that, I’d make sure accidents of such kind never happen, and every kid has a chance of learning to walk in a safe and empowering environment.

Amanda Palmer on grief and pain

Don’t be afraid of saying “no”. Sometimes it’s the best thing you can do.

Any situation where I had to confront someone and tell them something is not possible, or that I’m not going to help them, would cause me dread and anxiety. Working in […]

Empowerment means showing the way
Have you heard about Kosmos dla Dziewczynek? It’s a Polish magazine for girls aged 6-12yo, a beautiful, wise, and fascinating one. I cooperate with them for almost 2 years now, and it’s one of the things I am most proud of so far. I never thought I’d write for a magazine called Kosmos when I […]
