List of must-haves for *finally* getting away from acne on a regular basis:
*I am not paid or sponsored by any companies. All of these opinions are based on personal experience of VERY sensitive skin and a LOT of expensive trial-and-error…including heavy (expensive) prescription medication over many years…but isn’t it great how the best options are natural formulas? This is an investment, but guess how much I spend on daily make-up? $0.00
If you are a guy who does little to nothing for skin care, you should not read this post. I’m really not kidding- you’ll think this is insane but don’t get me started about the skincare industry…stepping foot into a dermatologist’s office is where prices get outlandish. This stuff is what I’ve found as alternatives to what prices are offered in those offices (anyone understand my pain??)
A reflection that sets my mind at peace EVERY time. I’ve shared it with non-religious and religious alike and everyone has commented on feeling peace // Una riflessione che calma la mente ogni volta. L’ho condiviso con persone non religiose e religiose e tutti hanno commentato di provare pace:
Disability: socially constructed phenomenon that results from barriers that are present in the environment.
World Health Organization defines disability: «disability results from the interaction of a person with his environment.»
Wildly Common Disability: unwanted as a fetus
Treatment options: lots (legally and against natural law and human dignity for all of mother, father, and child), but morally: adoption if mother is not able to take on the responsibilities of motherhood at that time. The mother who chooses adoption chooses life for herself (clean conscience and not killing) and life for that valuable life full of blessings that are unexpected and unseen…the miracles to happen are always among the least desired in the perspective of humans.
To be unwanted and defenseless at the most vulnerable moments of human development is the most tragic disability this world has forgotten or disrespected…or even allowed mass killings of those disabled by this «unwanted» label (enter abortion) and taken profit from the business of murdering the defenseless .
Mothers do not get to end the lives of children with disabilities without cutting off the grace God wishes to give them. Mothers may get desperate or feel despair, fear, worry, concern, or just not be in touch with the value of human life.
All these things currently cause the disability of being unwanted.
Planned Parenthood ended the lives of 323,999 defenseless in 2014 (source).
As of 2013, New York City’s abortion rate was 60% of their birth rate (source).
Getting the Love You Want on p. 16 (by Harville Hendrix, Ph.D): «There is a widely held belief that when a baby is inside its mother’s womb, it experiences a sense of oneness, an Edenic experience free from desire. Martin Buber, a Jewish theologian, puts it this way, «in fetal existence, we were in communion with the universe.» »
Why did I pick those quotes to share with this blog? Let me give you a bit more recent reading and I assume you may pick up on the theme:
The United Nations Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) recognizes «the inherent dignity and worth and the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family as the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace in the world.» Further, the CRPD states , «persons with disabilities treated as equals before the law and to be entitled without any discrimination to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law.» (p. 8).
