“… #AndrewHarvey gave me the key in a spiritual-direction session that shook me to the bones.
Tonglen practice was the tool I could use, he said, describing a variation on the ancient Tibetan meditation…” @livedammit.bsky.social

We cannot survive by ignoring the pain of our times. We can't be human & #live in denial, pretending it’s not there. To live fully, caring for ourslves & others, we learn to weather the storms in our minds. Despite many temptations to #despair, we choose to #LIVEdammit. #NAMI #AFSP bit.ly/40YsiPX

No one can stop you from growing and learning and only you can change you. Take control of your life bc if you don’t, someone else will.

@matthaig.bsky.social's words didn’t save my life, but reminded me how far I’ve come. “Depression is also...smaller than you.” bit.ly/4lJY8sR #ReasonsToStayAlive
Is there a book, quote, or author that made you want to stay alive, or reminded you why you’re still here?
I’d love to know.

Reading @matthaig.bsky.social's #Reasonstostayalive: "Depression is also . . . Smaller than you. Always, it is smaller than you, even when it feels vast. It operates within you, you do not operate within it." AMEN. #Dontbelieveeverythingyouthink #LIVEdammit

The best revenge is success. My patients and I are weeds. We will grow in the crack of the sidewalk in 100° weather. 💪🏼 Weeds are just flowers that refuse to grow in rows. 🌻🌷🪻🌹

For days when you’re feeling fierce and fragile:
LIVE, dammit.
…because the world needs you.

Starting at $12.04 for a lighter carry.
Our favorite? Rugged & roomy, holds a full day’s gear, & then some. 👜 bit.ly/4eFn9mu

With #PrideMonth ending, we’re opening a #DisabilityPride shelf tomorrow…but the #LGBTQIA+ Voices shelf isn’t going anywhere; #identity = #self-love, #creativity, & 🧡, 24/7/365. #LIVEdammit celebrates the human spirit overcoming all barriers.

Heart going out to all who loved #MikaylaRaines. She saved lives. Online cruelty took hers. We must do better to protect those who care. #stoponlinebullying #livedammit #NOMV
#MikaylaRaines , founder of fox rescue #SaveAFox , died by suicide r/t to harassment online +

RIP 😔

Words matter and bullying someone is just wrong.
We never know what someone is struggling with.
PLEASE be gentle.

#ToxicMasculinity claims #empathy & #grief are weakness – or worse, #sin - but studies show that hardening the ❤️ in ungrieved grief can injure the body & mind w/ anxiety & depression, illness, addiction, even death… never mind impaired productivity. #Living-W-HeartInAHeartlessTime bit.ly/4dLtKeu
