Honestly I think one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself is to separate your negative qualities from your identity.
Instead of saying “I’m lazy,” saying “I’ve made a habit of not doing work unless it’s absolutely necessary.” Instead of saying “I’m a bad friend,” saying “I haven’t communicated as much as I should with the people I care about.”
By being specific about your problems, and by framing it as an action that you are consciously either working on or ignoring rather than an unchangeable part of who you are, you allow yourself to accept your mistakes and work constructively on them instead of pretending they didn’t happen or wallowing in blaming yourself.
Back to Work.

Virginia’s first Vietnamese-American legislator wants to inspire others to run
[Kathy] Tran hopes that her success as one of the first Asian-American delegates in Virginia will convince immigrants, women, and people of color to run for office and engaged in the political process.
“They say that you have to ask a woman to run seven times before she’ll seriously consider it, and with the wave of women and moms who won on Tuesday night, you know for my own daughters — they’re never going to have to be asked,” she said. “They will just know that this is something they can do.”
The Moon Signs and The Mother
The sign your moon is in is said to distinguish the relationship you have with your mother. You can experience both positive and negative traits of the relationship. Not everyone will experience the negative traits, so if you don’t, just look to the positives.
Aries: Your mother taught you to be courageous and to do anything you set your mind to. You saw your mother as strong and brave. You could have competed for your mother’s attention, she could have been too aggressive, pushy, and impulsive to you, making your self-esteem suffer.
Taurus: You find comfort in your mother who made you feel safe, secure, and loved. You learned from her to be steady, patient, and confident in yourself. But your mother could have neglected you in some way that made you feel vulnerable and unsafe.
Gemini: Your mother praised your intellect and your self-expression. Your mother nurtured you by stimulating your mind, having frequent discussions with you and allowing your mental energy to thrive. But, your mother could be distant emotionally, could rarely be home and always busy, could have raised you up in an unstable, unpredictable environment, or mother could be moody, nervous, and irritable.
Cancer: Your mother has always been nurturing, loving, and supportive of you in every way possible. She offers you guidance and understanding. But, your mother can be overbearing, especially if you move away or start a family of your own, etc. She can also be extremely emotional, moody, and over protective.
Leo: Your mother feels great pride in your beauty, accomplishments, and your dreams. She nurtures your need for attention and supports your talents and self-expression and offers generosity and a loving heart. But, your mother could force you to live out her own dreams, making you do things you don’t want to just for her sake.
Virgo: Your mother takes great care of you and is very helpful when it comes to any problems you may have, especially when it comes to work and education. She has high expectations of you and encourages you to do your best. But, she could be so much of a perfectionist that if you do not meet her standards, she can become obsessive and overbearing. She may often resort to criticizing you and nagging at you in such a way that it makes you feel like a failure or like you are doing something wrong.
Libra: Your mother is loving and kind, always making sure you have a balanced and peaceful life. She may have taught you to be well-mannered and fair. She pampers you and offers you emotional support. But, she could be so afraid of conflict and judgment from others, that she can be easily walked over by others or avoid confrontations and this can leave you feeling vulnerable if you or her are being hurt or threatened by others. She often overlooks remarks made by others about her and this can influence you to be pushed around just like she is.
Scorpio: From your mother, you gained emotional strength, intensity, and a mysterious persona. But your mother could have neglected or abandoned you in some way which left you feeling unwanted. Her influence on you makes you feel very paranoid of others and even yourself, making you have to be in control of your environment to feel secure. If your mother was in your life or reenters your life, you can experience manipulation from her.
Sagittarius: You have a fun-loving mother who taught you to believe in yourself and to always look on the bright side of life no matter what. You may have experienced traveling and frequent trips to stimulating places that allowed you to feel independent and free. But, your mother could be detached on an emotional level and may be quite distant. She is searching for answers she will never find.
Capricorn: Your mother is serious, conservative, and hard-working. Your mother taught you to become responsible for yourself and taught you the importance of maturity and self-sufficiency. But your mother could have restricted your time to be a child, putting overbearing worries and responsibilities on you at a young age. Your mother may have suffered from events that hindered her and made her depressed and irritable. You never truly had a childhood.
Aquarius: Your mother taught you the importance of being original, intelligent, and independent. She respected and supported your thinking and your intellect and was a friend to all of your friends and to the community. But, she could not connect with you on an emotional level most of the time and may have been considered as weird or unusual. She could have also been rebellious in a way that affected you negatively.
Pisces: Your mother is sensitive to you and your feelings, seemingly always feeling exactly as you are. She offers you compassion, care, and nurtured your brilliant imagination and creativity. But she may depend on you in an unhealthy way, have a mental illness, or may have addictive habits she must overcome.
i dont like apologies at all but i especially dont like groveling apologies. i dont care that you think ur a piece of shit, bc i probably know it. i dont accept apologies unless they sound like a business plan. i want acknowledgement of pain inflicted bitch! i want you to know that you hurt me and that i am the bigger person by even listening to what you have to say! then i want you to explain why you did what you did followed by a proposal on what you plan to change in your behavior, how you plan to change it (therapy,etc). your remorse is fine but the safety of my future self is worth more than that
Family of Teen Fatally Shot by Officer Speaks Out »
“He was just a kid outside,” cousin Christian Delgado said.
The 14-year-old, identified by family as Jason Pero attended Ashland Middle School. Pero was in the school band and a member of the Native American Club. Classmates tell FOX21 Pero will be remembered for his great sense of humor. One family member Christian Delgado, describes Pero as harmless.
“Just kept to himself, didn’t bother anyone, really good,” Delgado said. “Just wouldn’t hurt a fly.”
The loss of the 14-year-old boy has truly shaken the community. A vigil has been set up, near the area where the shooting happened. The incident was addressed at school, the day after the shooting. Grievance councilors were on hand for students.
The superintendent tells FOX21 it’s hard to answer questions from students right now, because there are so many unknowns this early in the investigation.
“There wasn’t a dry eye in the place; boys, girls, it didn’t matter,” Ashland superintendent Keith Hiltz said. “There’s a deep hurt there and a lot of anger a lot of confusion how a 14-year-old boy could be involved in a police shooting.”
Meanwhile authorities did recover a knife at the scene.
Delgado believes Pero was unarmed and describes what a neighbor saw.
“He just came outside and just saw Jason laying there. He told the cops ‘what are you doing put your gun away,’ the cop wouldn’t listen, he was just still freaking out about it,” Delgado said. “They’re trained to not handle situations like that, I mean the last person Jason would have hurt, was somebody sticking up for him.”
Donations for the Pero family can be mailed to:
Bad River Tribe

PO Box 39

The tribe will be setting up an account for the family. All donations will be deposited in this account.
A reminder that turning in assignments for partial credit is better than not turning them in at all. It is. Even if you think you’ve done a bad job and are ashamed of your work, or it’s way overdue, you take whatever you can get. Partial credit dramatically improves your grade over a zero, and I’m always astounded by how often even the smartest kids don’t really comprehend that. 60% is worlds better than 0%. Even 10% is going to help you. Letter grades are misleading and are not created equal. “F"s are mathematically valuable. Turn that late assignment in.
