For 13 thousand dollars, Englishman Brandon Grimshaw bought a tiny uninhabited island in the Seychelles and moved there forever. When the Englishman Brandon Grimshaw was under forty, he quit his job as a newspaper editor and started a new life. By this time, no human had set foot on the island for 50 years. As befits a real Robinson, Brandon found himself a companion from among the natives. His Friday name was René Lafortin. Together with Rene, Brandon began to equip his new home. While René came to the island only occasionally, Brandon lived on it for decades, never leaving. By oneself. For 39 years, Grimshaw and Lafortin planted 16 thousand trees with their own hands and built almost 5 kilometers of paths. In 2007, Rene Lafortin died, and Brandon was left all alone on the island. He was 81 years old. He attracted 2,000 new bird species to the island and introduced more than a hundred giant tortoises, which in the rest of the world (including the Seychelles) were already on the verge of extinction. Thanks to Grimshaw's efforts, the once deserted island now hosts two-thirds of the Seychelles' fauna. An abandoned piece of land has turned into a real paradise. A few years ago, the prince of Saudi Arabia offered Brandon Grimshaw $50 million for the island, but Robinson refused. “I don’t want the island to become a favorite vacation spot for the rich. Better let it be a national park that everyone can enjoy.” And he achieved that in 2008 the island was indeed declared a national park. #easternexotics #island #islandboy #youcanmakeadifference #Wildlife #wildlifeeducation #Bloodhound #bird #tortoise #beonewithnature #makeachange (at Eastern Exotics Wildlife, Gemstones, & Oddities) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkB4r5aP0aw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you missed my IG Story, 20% of all of our sales through April 1st will be divided equally among our stockists that are directly effected by the Coronavirus. ***SEE DETAILS BELOW*** . It is a horrible thing to have to fear for your brick and mortar business due to a global pandemic disease that is slowly but surely creeping its way to every corner of the world. We have the opportunity as a community to unite and support the shops that WE call our LYS’s, and help them in their time of need. I know not all companies are able to do this; but for those of you who run mainly on internet sales, where face to face interactions do not fuel the majority of the profit and livelihood you rely upon, I ask that you join me in assisting the shops that keep US (indie dyers and hand crafters) in business. Without the support of all of our LYS’s we would be extremely limited to the reach of customers we have, the support systems we rely upon, and a common hand crafting community we depend so heavily upon. . I have heard from a few my personal stockists in the United States, and this global pandemic has already started altering their livelihood and the lives of the crafters that rely upon them. . Please help us help them. Share. Repost. Support. We are a community of makers that I still, truly believe, can help others in their times of need. . #lys #coronavirus #localyarnshop #wesupport #supportyourlys #supportsmallbusiness #supportsmallbusinesses #youmakeachange #youcanmakeadifference #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowners #indiedyer #indiedyersofinstagram #indiedyersofig #handdyedyarn #handdyedwarp #yarn #yarnstagram #yarnlove #yarnspirations #yarnlover #yarnlove #yarnlovers https://www.instagram.com/p/B9pN3VChvAh/?igshid=1jvdhnjo4ouhj

I know it’s not January 6th but I just did my nails and I wanted to remember to post something for her. If anyone wants to join in the movement paint your ring finger pink on January 6th to remember Leelah. Help prevent more things like this from happening. She didn’t deserve that. No one does. Reach out and help others. And always remember you have the power to make a change. You are not alone.

depression wears different masks

One of the most powerful things I have heard recently is that depression wears different masks. Sometimes it is disguised as irritability, anger, stress, exhaustion, sometimes it is even disguised as a smile. I strongly believe that it isn’t our place to project our own perceptions upon a person who may be “acting funny”, who may be lashing out more than usual, or who may be more irritable than usual. If someone you love is acting unusual, they may be crying out for help. We may not ever understand WHY someone is depressed, but their feelings are valid and we have to remember that.

Everyone is facing their own battle inside, some battles are mental and more complex than we can personally understand... and sometimes, it is not for us to understand.

I really cannot emphasize enough, how important it is to check on the ones you love. Even a small “thinking of you, I love you” message could be so powerful. If your significant other, family member, or best friend is acting distant or different lately, be patient with them but also reach out! You are around them more than anyone else is, you know them better than anyone else, so you have the ability to determine whether they are a toxic person in general and you should remove them from your life, or if they are simply out of touch with themselves, acting out of the ordinary and are struggling inside. You can bring light to their cloudy mind and remind them that they are not alone.

(SIDE NOTE: with that being said, I understand that being around someone depressed, could take a mental, emotional toll on you as well. So, you have to remember to take care of yourself too)

The saddest story I can think of (but is a very common experience people have opened up to me about), is about a person battling depression, the people around them taking it personal and disassociating from them because they are “too much” to handle. Nobody deserves to be neglected. Nobody deserves to be punished for something they cannot control. Sometimes that person in your life who is “too much” just needs a little extra love and patience.

Educate yourself on the severity of depression. Our greatest artists and actors battled depression and the world was blind to it. Believe it or not, we have the power to influence, empower, and uplift the people in our lives. There are small steps we can take, that could make a huge impact.

If someone you love is acting different, talk to them. Take them to their favorite restaurant, buy them their favorite flowers, ask them if they are okay, empower them and remind them of how important they are to your life and to this world. Encourage them to seek professional help if it increases. There are resources and there is nothing wrong with reaching out to a therapist.

The world is already filled with chaos, nobody deserves to go through this life alone.

And if you are noticing something off about yourself or are struggling with depression, take those same small steps for yourself too. Be kind to yourself, find your outlet and embrace it (my outlet is writing), travel, find a new hobby or passion, meditate, pray, workout, practice your breathing techniques, reach out to someone and do not be afraid or ashamed to seek help. True strength is found within vulnerability.

Social Movements, Media, and Technology

There are many ways that we can contribute to the workings of our society. There are many things to change the way that things are in our society. If we feel that something is wrong or that we do not like it we can do something to make a difference. We can start a movement and allows there to be awareness over certain issues. If we want things to change we must take matters into our own hands. Thankfully Social Media and technology allows us to begin and have these movements in less violent ways. We can make points that are reaching multiple people. All it needs to do is reach one person that also cares, and then they can share and from there the possibilities are endless. Social media allows us to reach multiple platforms and all different kinds of people. We all have the power to make a difference thanks to this.

If you want to be a professional, you HAVE to start somewhere. It's okay to not be good from the beginning. Learn to accept advice without feeling bad about yourself, learn to accept criticism. Keep trying, you'll get there. By being willing to be a beginner, you'll become a professional.

Keep going, im proud of you. 🖤
