Dear Friend,

If you are able to donate, I ask that you give what you can. If you are not in a position to provide money, I ask that you share this post - and others - to share this information.

Im the current state of the world we must stand together as we always have.

Wellness, safety, and security are fundamental human rights that I intend to share with our friends who are facing unbelievable hardships.

Will you join me?

Dear Friend,

As the weather takes a dip into uncomfortable, I hope you stay warm and safe. I hope the knowledge that you have someone in your corner this holiday season brings your heart warmth as well. I hope the business and stress of the year melts away some in my virtual embrace.

May this year end on a positive note for you. I'll be waiting for you in 2023.

With Love,

Dear Friend,

No material gift can convey how much I care for you. Perhaps even my words will fall short. With how busy our lives are, I wanted to take a moment and remind you of how dear you are to me.

Even when your days are hectic, the cold chilling you deeper than "to the bone", the nights far too long, know you'll always have me. Whenever. Wherever.

With Love,

Holiday Blues with Tumblr

Feeling down? Dreading the short days and long nights? Well, this holiday season, Tumblr is here to help you conquer your Sunday Scaries all week long!

We’ve partnered with amazing yogis, wellness brands, and mental health enthusiasts to bring you Holiday Blues with Tumblr. With a huge shift in the weather, hours of daylight, seasonal affective disorder season, and whatever else the world is throwing at us this week (🐝Murder Hornets just entered the group chat), we want to empower you to participate in some transformational acts of self-care 🤗.

Don’t worry, we know ‘self-care’ can feel like a chore, not to mention another dent in the bank account. That’s why Tumblr wants to meet you where you are—on your dash.

How does it work, you ask?

EASY! PEASY! LEMON 🍋 SQUEEZY! All we need from you is to show up; we’ll take it from there! Over the next six weeks, Tumblr and our partners will host LIVE classes: fitness classes, mindfulness exercises, interactive quizzes, playlists, and maybe even a dance party.

What if you miss class?

NO STRESS!! We’ve thought of it all. If you can’t make it to the live class (you will be sorely missed), each class will be available here on Post It Forward or on our Youtube channel.

Get to the point! When is the FUN?

Hold your horses — starting November 22nd until January 2nd, here’s what you have to look forward to:

📿Mindful Mondays📿

LIVE morning meditations run by some cool folx

💗Wellness Wednesdays 💗

Mood-boosting tips, tricks & playlists 

💪Flex Fridays💪

LIVE CLASSES and all the yoga 🧘 your heart could desire. All levels welcome—Yoga is for everybody and EVERY BODY

💆Self-Care Sundays💆

Think expressive writing meets self-discovery … with a dash of Dance Dance Revolution. And did we mention, it’s LIVE?

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

We will also have reminders for each class…. we told you WE GOT YOU!

A Few Gentle Reminders:

  • Make the time for yourself if you think it might make you feel better 🤗.
  • Showing up is the hardest part. You take care of that and we will take care of the rest.
  • This is meant to be fun (and we want to make sure you do JUST THAT here on Tumblr).
  • This is YOUR JOURNEY, so do it your way! Take the classes that make you feel good. Come to the live sessions, or just catch them later. Show up to every class, or do the same class every day for the next six weeks. You do you, boo boo.

One LAST thing:

LIKE, SHARE, and BE THERE!

We need your help to spread positive vibes as we conquer the Holiday Blues. Use the tag #HolidayBluesWithTumblr to share reflections from Mindful Monday , a sweaty selfie from Flex Friday, or anything that comes up for you after a Self-Care Sunday session.

Mark your calendars!

Dear One,

Please do not neglect your mental health, wellness, or happiness - especially as the cold seeps into your bones and the skies darken.

I want to remind you, and myself, that you cannot pour into others when you are empty.

Let's band together with warm thoughts, warm drinks, and rekindle our fires in spite of these holiday blues.

With Love,

4. If the car pulls up to you run in the opposite direction.

5. Walk with your keys in your hands and keep a key between each finger

6. If they put you in the trunk kick out the headlights

7. If you get lost find a woman with a child. Never ask a man for help (this one was drilled)

That scream fire piece of advice is literally life saving

8. Watch your shadows and reflections, especially if someone is walking behind you. A split second notice is better than none and will help you.

Yes this last one really saves lives y'all I do it all the time

girls have to learn to view the world like international intelligence agents just to be safe walking down the street. smh.

guys pls pls pls reblog and girls pls pls pls be safe out there. terrifying and so sad that we have to worry about this on a daily basis

(I’m an enby, but, frankly, this is helpful for anyone.)

- always tell someone where youre at and an approx time when youll be back

Add text replacement words in your phone if possible. Something short and memorable that you can send quickly to people in moments of emergencies.

E.g.

I f ing hate that we need to reblog this, people suck, but this will save lives.

DO NOT SCROLL PAST

Being female fucking sucks but yes this shit is important for everyone

I’m a guy and it’s absolutely horrible that women have to live in fear like this

I’ll add what I grew up learning:

- never put your name or initials on clothing or bags (especially for kids) because it gives an attacker/abductor the upper hand and an in to gain trust.

-teach your kids a password that only you and they know and to use in an emergency (my partner and I even have one). If a stranger comes up to them and says “your mom/dad asked me to come get you” your kid will ask for the password and if the stranger doesn’t know it, the kid knows to run/scream,etc.

- never wear shoes you can’t run in.

- if walking alone:

——don’t wear your hair in a pony tail because it’s an easy grip for an attacker and they will be able to control you more easily.

—— don’t talk on your phone. It seems like having someone on the other line is a deterrent, but in reality, it only distracts you from paying better attention to your surroundings. Better is have a friend that knows where you’ll be and will call the police if you don’t check in at a certain time or answer after a designated number of tries.

I’ll add:

Never leave your drink unattended.

All this is such great and important advice 🙌🏻 well done to all who’ve contributed. However the SADDEST part is that a post like this even has to fucking exist to begin with 😔😔😔

Somewhere in a similar post I read something that helped me know to respond to someone that needs intervention.

My inclination is to approach and try to comfort the intended victim but in fight or flight that can be as scary. The suggestion was to put yourself between the offender and the intended target and engage the offender and keep their focus on you.

This made sense to me so I have changed my actions.

And what a shitty world for women to navigate.

Dear One,

The world we live in is a treacherous one, with twisting terrains and shadows ever lurking.

Please stay safe. Though we may be apart in the world, know I will do all I can to be with you in spirit.

So we all know this has been one hell of a ride. November was hard. March through October was hard. We’re not expecting December to step out of line. So here’s a little something to celebrate just turning off our cerebral cortexes for a moment. It’s Tuesday. Enjoy the void.

May this holiday season and year's end being you much needed peace, Dear One. Remember, the world will continue to turn and I will be waiting here for you whenever you need me.

Dear One,

Though this holiday season may look quite different than in years past, do not believe you are alone in this. Let this song by the talented Ben Rector bring comfort to you.

Despite the distance, know those that care for tou are always with you.

No matter what the remainder if the year holds for you, you are always welcome at my table.

Happy World Gratitude Day, Dear One.

No matter how this day unfolds, I send to you my most sincere appreciation.

Thank you for being wonderful, messy, perfect YOU. You have changed my life for the better and asked for nothing me in return.

Know that I am here no matter what. We build our community from love, after all.

How swiftly the time has flown by. Can it even still be the same year? As a spot of light amidst the darkness, today marks Positive Thinking Day.

Consider this quote from"The Twits" by Roald Dahl, born on this day in 1916:

A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly...if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

Though the world we reside in now has been painted in colors we no longer recognize, do not allow them to blur your vibrant nature. No matter the challenges you face today, tomorrow, or in the future, we shall shine together with beautiful hearts.

‘The year ahead is full of many positive opportunities that serve my highest and greatest good’

This day holds much loss for my kin and me. To have found such an uplifting post reminds me of the power behind our thoughts and how they truly shape our futures, even from moment to moment.

I hope this brings you comfort in any hardships you may face this day.

Farewell 2019

It is hard to believe we have reached the end of another decade. The 31st is often seen as the time to relinquish the past and prepare for a "new year, new me." Tonight we start a new chapter in our lives. It may seem a little worrisome, stepping into a truly unknown time with only the past to lean on. Go forth valiantly, my dear friend, and know that we will be standing together as a new dawn approaches.

Happy New Year. 🎉

With Love,

To those of you battling storms know that sometimes even a little spot of sunshine in the darkness makes rainbows. Our summer has been a wild ride, but nature has a way of putting things into perspective if you look for it

Know that you are loved this day.

New Day

A wonderful person in my life just reminded me of something important in this unexpected text:

“It’s a new day to get things right. I hope you have a wonderful week! You got this!”

Life is chaotic, unpredictable, messy. Life is also exciting in its unpredictability; there is beauty in the messiness. 

Feel free to take these words and carry them with you for when the storms rage around you. I’m rooting for you. You got this.

Easter

May you all have a wonderful Easter holiday weekend, whether you celebrate it or otherwise. If you are spending it with family, chosen or blood, may their company bring some lightness to your spirit. If you are simply doing your own thing, I’ll be there with you in spirit, enjoying spending time with you and keeping you company.

With Love,
