Mondays make me lazy and tired.  I have trouble coming up with actual words.  So from now on (or until I get sick of it) I’m going to use Mondays to share links to various things I found interesting on the interwebs.    Here are my picks from the past couple of days.

My Take:  Jesus was a dirty, dirty God – I loved this article talking about the “humanness” of Jesus.  Because Jesus WAS dirty.  And a hippie.  And if you ask me, an unschooler too.  Oh, and sometimes he got dysentery.

Choosing to Leave my Second Son Intact, Despite the Intactivists  – I could relate to this both because I made the same decision, and because I’ve encountered the same people:  people who are SO passionate about their cause that they don’t realize how hurtful they’re being in their approach.  A good reminder for gentle and compassionate activism.  From Code Name: Mama

Self soothing.  Possibly the biggest lie ever foisted on parents.  – Great information about the myth of children needing to learn to “self-soothe.”

The Truth About Having Kids – I was so excited to see something new from Demand Euphoria.  As per usual, she is spot-on.

Dimensions of Self-Care:  Freedom and Unconditional Acceptance – I needed to read this today.

And finally, for no other reason than it made me smile:  Taco Bell responds to teen’s request for custom Speedo  I don’t read a lot of news stories (if you want to call this “news”) mainly because there’s so much bad stuff out there, but I love the happy stories.  I haven’t eaten at Taco Bell in probably 25 years,  but this was very cool of them.

You’re welcome.  🙂
