God Describes Woman
“When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day…
An angel came by and asked…
“Why spend so much time on her?”
The lord answered…
“Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her?
She must function on all kinds of situations,
She must be able to embrace several kids at the same time,
Have a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart,
She must do all this with only two hands,
She cures herself when sick and can work 18 hours a day.”
THE ANGEL was impressed
“Just two hands…..impossible!
And this is the standard model?”
The Angel came closer and touched the woman
“But you have made her so soft, Lord.”
“She is soft,”
said the Lord,
“But I have made her strong.
You can’t imagine what she can endure and overcome.”
“Can she think?”
The Angel asked.
The Lord answered…
“Not only can she think,
She can reason and negotiate.”
The Angel touched her cheeks….
“Lord, it seems this creation is leaking!
You have put too many burdens on her.”
“She is not leaking…
It is a tear.”
The Lord corrected the Angel.
“What’s it for?”
Asked the Angel.
The Lord said…
“Tears are her way of expressing her grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride.”
This made a big impression on the Angel,
“Lord, you are a genius.
You thought of everything.
A woman is indeed marvellous.”
Lord said…
“Indeed she is.
She has strength that amazes a man.
She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
She holds happiness, love and opinions.
She smiles when she feels like screaming.
She sings when she feels like crying, cries when happy and laughs when afraid.
She fights for what she believes in.
Her love is unconditional.
Her heart is broken when a next-of-kin or a friend dies,
But she finds strength to get on with life.”
The Angel asked…
“So she is a perfect being?”
The lord replied…
“No.
She has just one drawback,
She often forgets what she is worth.”

Cellular Life
All the eggs a woman will ever carry form in her ovaries while she is a four-month-old fetus in the womb of her mother.
This means our cellular life as an egg begins
in the womb of our grandmother.
Each of us spent five months in our
grandmother’s womb, and she in turn
formed in the womb of her grandmother.
We vibrate to the rhythm of our mother’s blood before she herself is born, and this pulse is the thread of blood that runs all the way back through the grandmothers to the first mother.

Mothers Day without her
As Mother’s Day approaches across parts of the world, for those who dread the day…I hope this helps x
MOTHER’S DAY WITHOUT HER
For many, Mother’s Day is one to be avoided, to dread, to rage at.
But consider this.
If you have a mother in heaven, who you miss so much that this day burns like fire, then you have been blessed.
So many do not know this.
So many do not understand a love so deeply bonding, that the grief is beyond comprehension.
And consider this also.
If your mother is no longer with you on this mortal coil, do not, for a moment, believe that she is gone.
That you are without her.
For that is not possible.
She beats with your every heartbeat.
She breathes with your every gasp.
She is coded into your every cell.
That cannot be undone.
Perhaps, perhaps, you could begin to celebrate, on Mother’s Day, and every day, that you were gifted a mother like yours.
And instead of avoiding this day, perhaps, perhaps, you could embrace it again and invite her to be with you, again.
Remembering, as you did on earth, how blessed you were.
Perhaps, perhaps, this day could become a sweet one once more, as you do all the things you know she loved on earth. For her.
For many, Mother’s Day is one to be avoided but I wonder if maybe that could change.
I wonder if she is waiting for that.
Perhaps she is waiting for that.

She
She sat at the back and they said she was
shy
She led from the front and they hated her
pride
They asked her advice and then questioned her guidance
They branded her loud then were shocked by her silence
When she shared no ambition, they said it was
sad
So she told them her dreams and they said she was mad
They told her they’d listen then covered their
ears
And gave her a hug whilst they laughed at her
fears
And she listened to all of it thinking she
should
Be the girl they told her to be best as she
could
But one day she asked what was best for
herself
Instead of trying to please everyone
else
So she walked to the forest and stood with the
trees
She heard the wind whisper and dance with the leaves
And she spoke to the willow, the elm and the
pine
And she told them what she’d been told time after time
She told them she felt she was never enough
She was either too little or far, far too much
Too loud or too quiet, too fierce or too weak
Too wise or too foolish, too bold or too meek
Then she found a small clearing surrounded by
firs
And she stopped and she heard what the trees said to her
And she sat there for hours not wanting to
leave
For the forest said nothing, it just let her
breathe

Einstein s 1st wife’s major contribution
Albert Einstein’s first wife Mileva (Mitza) Marić was also a brilliant physicist. They met at the Polytechnic Institute of Zurich, where she had fought for special permissions to attend and where she received higher marks than Albert. Mitza put in as much if not more work on their theories but wasn’t credited because Albert told her their works wouldn’t get published with a woman’s name on them. Many of his lecture notes are in Mitza’s handwriting, and Albert was once heard at a party saying, “I need my wife, she helps solve all of my mathematical problems.” 80% of Einstein’s famous works were published during this marriage, referred to as his “magic years.” Those magic years ended abruptly after they divorced due to his infidelity and abandonment.
Happy Women’s History Month to the ✨real✨ genius of the Einstein family, Mileva Marić 🥰

WOMEN
In this life we women are many things,
mothers, sisters, wives, friends, carers.
We are creators,
we are nurture,
we are home.
But above all,
we women are the magic.
We are the intuition.
We are the product of generations,
who fought to be heard,
to be believed,
to be empowered.
And that runs very deep.
When women come together, magic happens my friend.
And those who tell you otherwise are afraid.
We are not.
So come together in all your glory today and every day.
Because you can,
because you must,
because you are called by deep-seated ancestry to do so.
And because, most of all, we hold up half the sky,
and our half must show the other
how to be.

Society Judges Moms & this should become extinct
Try offering help, set an example of how to ignore the critical judges of society
In our society, a mother suffers guilt no matter what she does.
If she’s on top of her kids making sure everything’s okay, she’s called a helicopter mom, and if she lets them run around as she sits on the side talking to a friend, she’s neglectful.
If she prefers cooking from scratch and organic everything, her kids are “going to go crazy on junk food when they go to someone else’s house.” And if she feeds them donuts and muffins for breakfast some mornings because she’s in a rush or “just because,” then her kids are unhealthy.
If she breastfeeds and doesn’t produce enough milk, and her baby isn’t thriving, then she’s a failure. But when she adds formula, she’s more of a failure for not giving her baby all breast milk.
If she stays home with her kids, she should be working—”how can her family financially keep up?” But if she’s working, she’s met with “they’re only little once.”
If she hasn’t lost the postpartum weight, “gosh, she let herself go.” But if she did, “wow, she must not eat, spend hours working out, and neglect her children.”
In a society that knows “everything” and places too many expectations on moms,
If you listen to everyone else,
you’re always going to fall short.
So, DON’T LISTEN,
and stop feeling bad for your choices.
Throw those internalized unrealistic expectations away,
and do what’s best for you and your family.
It’s called “your family” for a reason.
Besides, if you love your children and try,
you’re a good mom.

Cleopatra
Shared by : Ancient Knowledge
Cleopatra ascended the throne at the age of 17 and died at the age of 39. She spoke 9 languages. She knew the language of Ancient Egypt and had learned to read hieroglyphics, a unique case in her dynasty. Apart from this, she knew Greek and the languages of the Parthians, Hebrews, Medes, Troglodytes, Syrians, Ethiopians, and Arabs.
With this knowledge, any book in the world was open to her. In addition to languages, she studied geography, history, astronomy, international diplomacy, mathematics, alchemy, medicine, zoology, economics, and other disciplines. She tried to access all the knowledge of her time.
Cleopatra spent a lot of time in a kind of ancient laboratory. She wrote some works related to herbs and cosmetics. Unfortunately, all her books were destroyed in the fire of the great Library of Alexandria in 391 AD. C. The famous physicist Galen studied her work, and was able to transcribe some of the recipes devised by Cleopatra.
One of these remedies, which Galen also recommended to her patients, was a special cream that could help bald men regain their hair. Cleopatra’s books also included beauty tips, but none of them have come down to us.
The queen of Egypt was also interested in herbal healing, and thanks to her knowledge of languages, she had access to numerous papyri that are lost today. Her influence on the sciences and medicine was well known in the early centuries of Christianity. She, without a doubt, is a unique figure in the history of humanity.
