Adoção

My brother and I were both adopted – thanks for posting this!

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Como explicar o amor? O amor daquilo que é uma extensão contínua de você? Ou do que foi acolhido como seu? Claro que estou falando da adoção. O modelo tradicional de família se tornou muito mais flexível e hoje, há casais que mesmo tendo os filhos biologicos, tem o desejo de adotar uma criança, de oferecer um lar e, também conseguir ser um referencial para a outra pessoa.

Que adotar uma criança é um gesto de amor, todos sabem. Mas, essa relação estreita e umbilical quer com os filhos vindos da consanguinidade, ou o filho que você “acolhe” é algo extraordinário. Quem adota uma criança, alimenta um sentimento inexplicável pelo outro, digamos que essa pessoa ” reiventa” essa questão dos cuidados maternos. Isso que estou falando serve para ( pais heterossexuais como para homossexuais). Como eu sei que uma mãe ou um pai, são capazes de ter papéis que demontra…

Measuring Up

normabobb

We all crave acceptance but have we taken the time to look at whether we measure up to our own ideals. Stepping back, and picturing who we pretend to be and who we really are is the first step towards self realization. The question we need to ask of ourselves is: How worthy are we in accordance with the judgment of our own eyes?

Cavatelli pugliesi con ceci e broccolo romanesco

InTheNameOfSeitan

Eccomiiii!!!! ….come state????🤞😷🍀🍀🍀

Io bene…. grazie😉👌… vi ringrazio davvero tutti per i messaggi che mi mandate 🤗 tramite mail e notifiche WP per rimanere connesso e spronarmi a “partorire qualcosa di nuovo” che possa soddisfare la vostra curiosità sul mondo veg.

Oggi andiamo su un “classico tradizionale”… un primo piatto che potrebbe scaldare gli animi e i palati di tutti dato che qualche giornata invernale la fa ancora da padrona nonostante alcune bellissime ore di sole che questo Marzo ci sta regalando.

I legumi… andremo di ceci, ma quelli “boni”… non roba da scatolame! 😝👎 Quindi armatevi di santa pazienza e preparatevi ad un loro ammollo che durerà minimo 12 ore… ebbene sì, le “cose bonehanno bisogno di tempo per poter essere realizzate.

La pasta che utilizzeremo, i cavatelli sono un formato di pasta tipica del profondo sud, della Puglia precisamente…

Getting into the Delta Variant Mindset

In simple terms, many people who caught the original virus didn’t pass it to anyone, but most people who catch Delta create clusters of infection. That partly explains why cases have risen so explosively. It also means that the virus will almost certainly be a permanent part of our lives, even as vaccines blunt its ability to cause death and severe disease.

And a reminder, as we “argue over small measures” here in the US, that most of the world is in a much worse place:

Pandemics end. But this one is not yet over, and especially not globally. Just 16 percent of the world’s population is fully vaccinated. Many countries, where barely 1 percent of people have received a single dose, are “in for a tough year of either lockdowns or catastrophic epidemics,” Adam Kucharski, the infectious-disease modeler, told me. The U.S. and the U.K. are further along the path to endemicity, “but they’re not there yet, and that last slog is often the toughest,” he added. “I have limited sympathy for people who are arguing over small measures in rich countries when we have uncontrolled epidemics in large parts of the world.”

More Manufacturers will Say No to Plastic Packaging and yes to Environmental Care when we Decide that We Want to have Clean Water and Air

FunWritings

When we start refusing to buyso many products that are packaged in plastic

Manufacturers will understand that they need to make a change that is drastic

Juice was sold in biodegradable cartons before the manufacturers plans changed

And now that the plastic pollution problem is out of hand, packaging could be rearranged

If only consumers could support only the companies that are doing more to reduce pollution

These manufacturers would implement the solutions

There is a lot more we can do as consumers to reduce the problems we all face

We can shop in new ways and watch as some of our problems are erased

We are the ones who support these manufacturers with our money

They should be doing more to make our lives bright and sunny

Without our support all they would see is failure
