Weekly Awesome 11.21

November 21, 2012

.

~Stuff I pinned at my TIAW and Wisdom boards.
~Engineering toys for girls. How awesome! I kind of wish they came in colors other than pastel pinks and purples, but kudos to creating a toy geared towards the way girls’ brains work that teaches them to love engineering.
~This mama has started telling her daughters she is beautiful. This is something that is so important to all of us, whether or not we have kids. We need to be telling ourselves we are beautiful. And you know what else? We need to tell our friends we are beautiful. The more we see/hear women praising themselves, the more women will praise themselves.
~Last week after I posted about Amanda Palmer’s letter to PETA, commenter Myssie pointed me to this song of hers celebrating pubes for women. Love it. I’m adding it to the playlist, too.

OK, I guess that’s all I got today. Well, I do have some heavier stuff I could share, but things have been just so heavy lately. I need a break.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the US. What do you have to be thankful for this year? What about your body are you thankful for? I know I’m grateful that my body is strong so that I can do my favorite hikes. Maybe I’ll do one this weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving!
