I snapped this using the timer on my camera, I was having a sort of tough day, thinking... deeply... as I watched my children play at the park.
I really like how it turned out. So sincere.
I am a neverending nerve ending.
Constantly relieved by the realization
that the raindrops falling across my palms are not tears,
Affirmed by the sensation of waves crashing against my body,
while my feet remain rooted,
unmoved.
I feel I no longer need to hide.
I am no longer waiting for the elite to enlighten me.
Everything has been a warm up until now.
I have been walking around with my eyes closed
I have been asleep for months in a dream
Strung along by the distraction that is moderate desire
Words situated themselves between tongue and teeth
And sometimes all that came out was stale breath.
Foggy-
Like its meaning or its purpose.
It had no purpose. No gratitude –
It was just surface.
A failure to address my heartbeat,
I ended up just beating myself up,
Lying down and giving up.
When minerals minimized my memories into shadows
And began resembling expectations that only led to disappointment.
I realized that sincerity was being eaten out from between my legs.
Because you see,
In a house with all windows and no doors,
there is no patience for mirrors that only reflect
the mediocre performance of permanence.
We made our masks out of dirt and somehow become purposeful fools
Who said “You try too hard”
I woke up yesterday and asked, “who puts limits on ambition?”
Open Up, expand, express who you are.
Don’t curl up or reside in solitude
Stay present.
Focus on your presence.
Authenticity. Vulnerability
Take a chance and get stability.
Love who you are intuitively.
Naturally and honestly.

"Phoenix," a western diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox atrox) is in the process of molting or preparing to shed her skin. Snakes have no eyelids but rather a clear scale which covers their eyes. This scale is called the spectacle or brille. It is shed along with the rest of the outer layer (keratin) of the snake's skin. The blue (opaque) color indicates a fluid separating the dead outer layer of skin with the new layer underneath. Soon "Phoenix's" eyes will clear and the scales covering her eyes will be shed with the rest of the outer layer of skin. Snakes are very vulnerable when in this phase as their bodily functions slow down and their eyesight is very limited. Check the "Phoenix" tag for more of her story and pictures.

Conservation status: Nationally vulnerable.
The blue duck or whio is an iconic species of clear fast-flowing rivers, now mostly confined to high altitude segments of rivers in North and South Island mountain regions. Nowhere common, it lives at low densities and its shrill “whio” whistle above the noise of turbulent waters will usher in a long-remembered encounter.
Identification
Adults of both sexes are alike, being uniformly slate blue-grey with chestnut spotting on the breast, a pale grey bill with a conspicuously expanded black flap at its tip, dark grey legs and feet, and yellow eyes. During aggressive interactions, or when birds are suddenly frightened, the bill epithelium is flushed with blood, and appears distinctly pink. Males are larger than females, have more breast spotting and more prominent greenish iridescence on the head, neck and back. Immatures are similar to the adults but from late summer to about August their eye is dark, their bill a dark grey and their chest spotting sparse and dark.
Voice: male blue ducks give a high-pitched wheezy disyllabic whistle, “whi-o”, from which the Maori name ‘whio’ is derived. The main female call is a low rasping growl given in response to disturbance or as a threat - www.nzbirdsonline.org.nz

Vulnerability catches us at all the wrong times, or does it? I recently heard the term “vulnerability hangover” and completely related. There have been so many times I have felt like I tried something new or said something out of the ordinary and felt great about it at the moment. I felt empowered and really proud of myself. But then, time passes, and I thought about it, and thought about it some more, and second guessed myself, again and again. For example: “Should I have really asked for more money? Why do I think I have the right to get paid more? Did I offend someone?” Writer Brene Brown writes that vulnerability is not weakness, but rather it brings about “emotional risk, exposure, uncertainty, creativity and change.” Making yourself vulnerable is really about courage and having the courage to be who you are and say what you not only want to say but need to say to create the life you want to live.
Many women describe feeling vulnerable when it comes to sex and sexuality. Asking for what you want sexually will indeed expose you but try and think about that exposure as positive. You are exposing yourself for being a sexual person who wants to explore and change and of course there might be some emotional risks with that. In these situations, I always ask my patients what is the worst that could happen? A common example that often comes up with clients involves using a vibrator with a partner: You want to ask your partner to use a vibrator with you. That certainly takes courage to bring about a new subject and you are asking for something that will make you and probably your partner enjoy sex more, but there is also that uncertainty in not knowing their response. The best case is that they say “Yes” and buy one that same day. The worse that could happen is they say: “No” or some client’s biggest fear is of offending their partner and making them feel they are not “good enough,” and will feel insecure. In reality this rarely happens, but I have had a few clients return to me and say their partners were offended by bringing in a vibrator. A healthy relationship can get through these feelings, and open and honest communication can bring about compromise and open the conversation around sex in ways you might have never imagined could happen. Maybe your partner doesn’t want to use a vibrator, but they want to watch erotica. However, you will never know unless you allow yourself to take that emotional risk and ask. So, if like myself you sometimes feel yourself having a “vulnerability hangover” remember the word courage and turn that worrying into being proud of yourself for asking for what you need.
Sex therapy often includes some education in addition to discussion about toys and novelties that can enhance sexual pleasure. Call or contact us for a free phone consultation.

Mona Relief ground crew delivered for the third time urgent aid to vulnerable families in Wadi Ahmed Area in Sana'a.
Today's mission targeted 100 families there with blankets funded by a local donor and dignity kits funded by IOM Yemen.
Our humanitarian work was covered by local and international media outlets.
Pictures here showing you the real situation of families there.
Facts about Wadi Ahmed area
Wadi Ahmed in the capital Sana'a is located in eastern Sana'a and it is the most populated area in the capital Sana'a.
This area is a full of many vulnerable families and IDPs, who fled from Sa'ada, Taiz and Hajjeh governorates to this area. Most families there are under the level of poverty line, they don't have enough food, or clean water and they don't have any kid of furniture such as beds or blankets, children there are in dire need for everything, they don't have clothes or shoes to wear as most pictures showing you the real situation of families there.
In brief, the Wadi Ahmed area is a full of diseases and most children there don't receive any kind of health care services or any kind of education. I have seen many disabled who living in a very bad situation.
Mona Relief's volunteers conducted a survey for most needy families and IDPs, when we could entered to most houses in that area we shocked for the situation of families there.
In a forest close to my home are some fields with wild flowers. I wanted to point out the beauty of little flowers and show their vulnerable side
