I can tell my daughter makes some people uncomfort

I can tell my daughter makes some people uncomfortable.

And I think: GOOD, make people uncomfortable.

She was born to take up space, to make her presence known, to stand out not blend in. She is loud and she is wild, I knew it from the moment I held her in my arms. I also knew that it was my job to protect her fire even when (especially when) it made other people uncomfortable.

I’m not interested in raising a tame daughter. I’m not interested in teaching her to keep her opinions to herself. I’m not interested in teaching her to be palatable or quiet or easy. She is her, and I’m here for it.

I am teaching her to be kind. I am teaching her to use her voice for good. I am teaching her to treat people with respect.

I will never teach her to make people comfortable. That isn’t her job, and it’s not mine or yours either. We were all born to take up space, to make our presence known, to stand out and not blend in.

Sometimes I think our daughters are showing us the way forward as we cheer them on and fan their flames.

For the love of #Donkeys
We can't heal the world today, but we can begin with a voice of compassionate, a heart of love, an act of kindness - Mary Davis
Today , the #8th May 2024 is #WorldDonkeyDay
World Donkey Day is a show of love, respect and appreciation for one of the most #enduring and #amazing animals in the Equine family ❤️
I absolutely #lovedonkeys I cant always put into words how much they make me feel but photos always seem to capture this!
Donkeys deserve to be loved , cherished and looked after for all the days of their lives!
For me they belong up there with other #Iconic #species

If you are in the area please visit this Rehab Cen

If you are in the area please visit this Rehab Centre and donate if you are able. They operate purely on donations and fees from these visits. They do such amazing work 😍❤️ for birds, mammals and reptiles in and around this area. They have a large amount birds of prey including my favourite type of Vulture. Sad how critically endangered these birds are and how so much of our wildlife is in direct conflict with humans. moholoholo rehabilitation Centre #hometostoffelthehoneybadger

P.S this is also home to the amazing honey badger Stoffel, if you don't know who he is have a look on YouTube. 😊
