Pope Francis slams mafias as ′organizations of sin′ | News | DW | 21.03.2021

“Mafias are present in various parts of the world and, exploiting the pandemic, have enriched themselves through corruption,” Francis said. The pontiff’s censure of the mob on Sunday coincided with Italy’s day of remembrance for victims of the Mafia. “These organizations of sin, mafia structures, exchange faith for idolatry, contrary to the Gospel of Christ. Today we remember all the victims and renew our commitment against mafias,” he said.

Mixed Herbal Iced Tea for Health Benefits

Ideas and Advice for How To Live a Joyful and Empowered Life.

I’ve recently adopted a practice of make a large batch of herbal iced tea that lasts about a week until gone (I live by myself).

I started doing this because all herbs have SO many health benefits, vitamins and minerals.

Each week I use different herbs so I’m getting some different health benefits, vitamins and mineral.

I used to take coffee to work in a thermos, but have replaced it with the herbal iced tea and I seem to be less sleepy and have less aches and pains, I believe because of the anti-inflammatory effect that a lot of herbs have. Some, like mint and rosemary can keep you more alert.

The way that I make my herbal iced tea is to fill the container with hot tap water and add sugar to taste (you could also make it without sweetener, or use honey, Stevia or some other healthy alternative)…

Célébrer la vie! ❤️

Dream diaries

Love , laugh , enjoy .., 
Live life .., and enjoy every moment ..,
For you don’t know .., if there exists a tomorrow,
You don’t even know .., what path you are gonna follow !
Find the courage ,
To wear your scars with pride ,
To accept yourself , the way you are ..,
Find tolerance and be selfless ,
Make your flaw., your forte ,
And love yourself unconditionally!

Don’t plan the future .., you can’t foresee what lies ahead ..,
Run .., run so fast that the fear of death and darkness never pace up ..,
Breathe .., breathe the whole world .., find your happiness ,
Don’t be bothered about failure ,
It’s just another hurdle that you ought to accept and learn ,
And again fly high ,
Cuz you have to be the person hidden inside you!

Dwell on dreams .., work hard…

Zach Real, Charles Donohoe charged in Capitol riots indictment of Proud Boys – The Washington Post

An indictment unsealed Friday charging Zach Rehl, 35, a president of the group’s chapter in Philadelphia, and Charles Donohoe, 33, an organizer in Winston-Salem, N.C., alleges they were among 60 others who communicated on an encrypted channel called “Boots on the Ground” and discussed how one already charged defendant wanted to “go over tomorrow’s plan.” Charging papers allege the group feared it was so close to being uncovered by the FBI and hit with criminal gang counts that they erased, or “nuked,” their prior communications on Jan. 4.

The indictment charged Rehl and Donahoe with six counts, including conspiracy to aid and abet the obstruction of Congress’s confirmation of the 2020 presidential election and police trying to prevent civil disorder.
