Where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear; Where little fears grow great, great love grows there.

Make it a habit to ask yourself: What’s going on inside me at this moment? That question will point you in the right direction. But don’t analyze, just watch. Focus your attention within. Feel the energy of the emotion. If there is no emotion present, take your attention more deeply into the inner energy field of your body. It is the doorway into Being.
Eckhart Tolle (via samsaranmusing)

When I say be creative, I don’t mean that you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem.

A short list of mantras for Women of Color

gabbiegabstoomuch:

So tumblr user mcharrilennostarr asked me to come up with a list of things to help empower women of color. I took a bit of time to think about it and here’s what I came up with.

  1. I will hold my head high when people expect me to be looking down at my shoes
  2. I do not exist within the confines of your stereotypes
  3. I will fight against the status quo when the status quo alienates me
  4. I will not smile when I do not want to smile
  5. My body is mine and only mine If I share it with you that is a privilege and not a right
  6. I do not exist as your sexual fantasy
  7. I will recognize that those in power will never give me the tools I need to overthrow them. I will find those tools myself.
  8. I will not be your caretaker. Your mother, your mammy, your nanny. You will need to learn to take care of yourself.
  9. I will take care of myself first
  10. I will not listen when I’m told white people and men are more intelligent than I am. They aren’t and I’ll prove it.
  11. When I am tired I will say I’m tired. When I am sad I will say I’m sad. When I am weak I will say I’m weak.
  12. I will love who I want to love
  13. I will laugh in the face of my oppressors when they try to tell me it is me who is oppressing them by daring to speak out against them
  14. Sometimes I may be the damsel in distress. That is a right that I am entitled to. Sometimes I will cry for assistance and expect to be helped. 
  15. I will abandon eurocentric beauty ideals
  16. I am not your one-night-exotic-stand. You say you’re feeling feverish over me? I hope the illness kills you. 
  17. I will not submit to you because you do not own me
  18. I can be feminine if I want to. I can dress how I want to. 
  19. I am always on the team that protects and empowers women of color
  20. Decolonization is a daily struggle. When I feel like I am drowning I will reach out for help from my sisters. When I feel as though I can no longer stand I will ask for a shoulder to lean on. I know that I am not alone. There are millions of women who are standing with me.

Please add to the list if you think of more!
