A revolution for today!
Today, spend a few minutes alone, in front of a mirror, look yourself in the eyes, and notice the thoughts that pass through your mind. (For extra credit, speak an affirmation such as “I accept myself just as I am,” or “I am beautiful, good, and worthy” to your image!)

Republicans would rather I die.
If Republicans succeed next week in repealing healthcare reform, it could be the death of me. Just because I’m fat. When insurers get away with denying coverage based on so-called pre-existing conditions…PEOPLE DIE. Is this okay with you? [Please repost.]
