What Alone Time Can Do 

3/22/2014

0 Comments

 
I've had some time to myself lately. While Facebook, Instagram, and all these other social portals are present, they don't do much to me as they do to most people. I just can't find the energy to engage so naturally online the way most people do. During this time (alone time), I've felt lost, empty, sheltered, alone, and scared. Although these emotions have channeled through me, I've also taken the "trip down memory lane". I've visited moments of my past. I've unravelled sheltered emotions. I've even experienced the visitation of suppressed feelings. Ones that I didn't even know existed. 

It's quite amazing what time alone can do to us. At first when I was experiencing fear of loneliness I didn't really know why. Other than the fact that when alone, one tends to seek company, at least for some people. This time it was different. I connected with a part of me I never had before. For the first time in my life I understood things about myself. I understood why I was so afraid of accepting things the way they were. I understood why I was so afraid of facing important people in my life with reality rather than omissions or dressed up "facts".

If there is one thing the experience of being alone with myself, with my thoughts has taught me anything is perspective. It's all about the way you see things. It's also about why you see things the way you do and understanding them.
Take some time to yourself. Meditate with your eyes closed and/or open. Take time for yourself, to yourself. Learn about you. It's a better world when you understand yourself. Trust me, I'm still learning, each and everyday.

International Women's Day 

3/8/2014

Thank you to all these Iconic Chica’s for sending their snapshots and engaging in the celebration of International Women’s Day! 
Because there is a story behind each of these women, we share this post in our IC Stories section.  Join us in Celebrating Iconic Chica’s on International Women’s Day! 

March 8th is the official International Women's Day. But what is it all about anyways? It all started in the 1900's when women just like you began fighting for women’s rights, like voting rights and equal pay, among many other important things. 

This day is used to honor women's advancements and celebrate our achievements. The idea was proposed by a woman named Clara Zetkin. Today, women just like you continue to work to ensure the future of girls.

International Women’s Day or IWD is an official holiday in many countries, like Afghanistan, Armenia, Cambodia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Vietnam, Russia, and many more.
