Red Poppies are a Memorial Day symbol of lost lives. American Legion sells poppies for people to share in honor of those we have lost during times of war. They also raise money to help the families who lost their loved ones. #redpoppy #americanlegion #memorialdayweekend #memorialday #flandersfields #wwii #quiltsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CPhNdIehURj/?utm_medium=tumblr

Last week the whole world celebrated Earth Day. Reduce ♻️ is one of the key practices advocated during Earth Day to care for our planet 🌎, to live sustainably. Reducing how much we use is a way of doing good. Doing good as a regular habit increases wellness and happiness because of the hormones our body naturally produces. In honor of creating a habit of reducing and celebrating seeing Earth Day everyday, we are giving away this advanced reading copy of “Love People Not Things” by the guys who literally wrote the book on minimalism. The book is scheduled to be released July 2021. If you live in the United Stated, for your chance to win, comment on this post by midnight Pacific time sharing a story of how you reduce today. The winner will be selected next Monday morning. #minamilist #minimilism #giveaway #advancedcopy #dogoodfeelgood #lovepeopleusethings #booksofinstagram #mindfulmonday #cherrytomatoes #cherrytomatoes🍅 #booksofinstagram📚 https://www.instagram.com/p/COIsgJ9Bved/?igshid=wi2xc3io993w

#regram @take3forthesea We share this photo in honor of Friday Vibes 🤙 . This tiny turtle posted by @take3forthesea is cuteness overload!! High five 🖐 to Australia 🇦🇺 cleaning their beaches this weekend for Clean up Australia Day. You may want to do the same in solidarity here in the United States 🇺🇸. Every weekend an immense amount of trash 🗑 is left behind on our beaches by fun lovers. If each of us takes three pieces of trash that someone else left behind, we can help reduce the impact that trash making it into our oceans. #bluemind #take3forthesea #turtle #fridayvibes #fridayfeeling #bethechange https://www.instagram.com/p/CMDlAm3hddp/?igshid=lg1rpebfux59

Morgan, thank you for this awesome reminder. So often comparison with others can steal one’s joy. Morgan is an artist and has a podcast, see details in her bio @morganharpernichols. May the brilliance you see in others be an encouragement to let your own unique brilliance shine! Yesterday, a dear friend shared how she finds joy in celebrating the brilliance she sees in those around her each day.
