3 Ways to Reframe Narcissistic Abuse That Can Help You Heal Faster 👇 1. The abuse wasn’t personal; it was never about you. Everything they said and did was a way for them to self-soothe. They believed that putting down others would help them feel better about themselves and regain control, as they didn’t have that in childhood. 2. They belittled you because they felt inadequate and are shame-based at their core. It wasn’t because you weren’t worthy or unlovable; it was a projection 👇 3. The whole relationship was a well-constructed con. You weren’t aware, and therefore you thought you could help them and improve the relationship. This resulted in you staying for a long time. It’s not that you were stupid; you just didn’t have all the facts. Forgive yourself. This is one of the hardest but most crucial things to do in order to heal from narcissistic abuse.

Some facts about bamboo: 1.Fast Growth: Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant in the world. It has been recorded at growing 47.6 inches in 24 hours. Some species can even grow over a meter per day under optimal conditions. A new bamboo shoot reaches its full height in less than a year. 2. Oxygen Release: A grove of bamboo releases 35% more oxygen than any other tree out there. 3. Carbon Dioxide Absorption: Bamboo absorbs carbon dioxide at a rate of 17 tons per hectare every year. It can act as a valuable carbon sink given how fast the plant grows. 4. No Fertilizer Required: Bamboo doesn’t need fertilizer to grow. It can self-mulch by dropping its leaves and use the nutrients to grow. 5. Drought Resistance: Bamboos are drought-tolerant plants. They can grow in the desert. 6. Wood Replacement: Bamboos can be harvested in 3-5 years compared to the 20-30 years of most softwood trees. 7. Building Material: Bamboo is incredibly strong and sturdy. It has been used as support for concrete as well as scaffolding, bridges, and houses. 8. Soil Stability: Bamboo has a wide network of underground roots and rhizomes that prevent soil erosion. 9. Natural Air Conditioner: Bamboo cools the air surrounding it by up to 8 degrees in the summer. 10. Invasiveness: Some species of bamboo, especially ‘running’ bamboos, can be invasive due to their extensive root systems, which allow them to spread rapidly. However, not all species are invasive, and with proper management, the environmental impact can be minimized. 📸 Organizer Bamboo Nursery

Subject: A little Louisiana history lesson . . . If Hurricane Katrina causing the levees to break in New Orleans is the only thing you know about Louisiana , here are a few more interesting facts about the Bayou State: * Louisiana has the tallest state capitol building in the nation at 450 feet. * The Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans was the largest enclosed stadium in the world when it was built and for two decades thereafter. * The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway is the longest over-water bridge in the world at 23.87 miles. * Louisiana 's 6.5 million acres of wetlands are the greatest wetland area in America. * The oldest city in the Louisiana Purchase Territory is Natchitoches, Louisiana founded in 1714. * The first bottler of Coca-Cola, Joseph Biedenharn, lived in Monroe, Louisiana (he first bottled Coke across the river in Vicksburg, MS), and was eventually one of the founders of Delta Air Lines, initially called Delta Air Service. * Delta Airlines got its start in Monroe, Louisiana when County Agent, C.E. Woolman, decided to try dusting the Boll weevil that was destroying the cotton crops in the Mississippi River Delta from an airplane. The airline began as the crop dusting operation called Huff Daland Dusters, Incorporated. That company was founded on May 30, 1924, in Macon, Georgia, and moved to Monroe, Louisiana, in 1925. They flew a Huff-Daland Duster, the first true crop duster, designed to combat the boll weevil infestation of those cotton crops in the delta. * Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana was the largest historically black university in America between 1970 and 1990. * Baton Rouge was the site of an American Revolutionary related battle outside of the original 13 colonies, in which Spanish forces defeated British forces. * The formal transfer of the Louisiana Purchase was made at the Cabildo building in New Orleans on December 20, 1803. * The staircase at Chrétien Point, in Sunset, Louisiana was copied for Tara in "Gone with the Wind." * Louisiana is the No. 1 producer of crawfish, alligators and shallots in America. * Louisiana produces 24 percent of the nation's salt, the most in America. * Much of the world's food, coffee, and oil pass through the Port of New Orleans. * Tabasco, a Louisiana product, holds the second oldest food trademark in the U.S. Patent Office. * Steen's Syrup Mill in Abbeville, Louisiana is the world's largest syrup plant producing sugar cane syrup. * America's oldest rice mill is in New Iberia, Louisiana at KONRIKO Co. * The International Joke Telling Contest is held annually in Opelousas, Louisiana. * LSU (The Ole War Skule) in Baton Rouge has the distinction of contributing the most officers to WW II after the U.S. military academies. * The Louisiana Hayride radio show helped Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, and Johnny Cash achieve stardom. It was broadcast from KWKH Radio in Shreveport Louisiana from 1948 to 1960. * The term Uncle Sam was coined on the wharfs of New Orleans before Louisiana was a U.S. territory as goods labeled U.S. were from "Uncle Sam." * The American version of the game of craps was brought first to New Orleans in 1813 as betting was a common activity on the wharves. It was a derivative of the European version and was begun there by Bernard Xavier Philippe de Marigny de Mandeville, a wealthy gambler and politician descended from colonial Louisiana landowners. * When states had their own currency, the Louisiana Dix (French for ten) was a favored currency for trade. English speakers called them Dixies and coined the term Dixieland. * New Orleans is the home of the very first pharmacy in America at 514 Chartres Street in the French Quarter. These early medical mixtures became known as cocktails (guess they were good for what ails ya?), coining yet another term. This bit of history is due to Louis Joseph Dufilho, Jr. of New Orleans, who became America’s first licensed pharmacist and opened the shop in 1823 that is now home to the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum. * New Orleans is the birthplace of Jazz, the only true American art form. Jazz gave birth to the Blues and Rock and Roll music. #Louisiana

Things You Probably Never Knew About The Great Lakes 1. Lake Superior is actually not a lake at all, but an inland sea . 2. All of the four other Great Lakes, plus three more the size of Lake Erie, would fit inside of Lake Superior. 3. Isle Royale is a massive island surrounded by Lake Superior. Within this island are several smaller lakes. Yes, that’s a lake on a lake. 4. Despite its massive size, Lake Superior is an extremely young formation by Earth’s standards (only 10,000 years old). 5. There is enough water in Lake Superior to submerge all of North and South America in 1 foot of water. 6. Lake Superior contains 3 quadrillion gallons of water (3,000,000,000,000,000). All five of the Great Lakes combined contain 6 quadrillion gallons. 7. Contained within Lake Superior is a whopping 10% of the world’s fresh surface water. 8. It’s estimated there are about 100 million lake trout in Lake Superior. That’s nearly one-fifth of the human population of North America! 9. There are small outlets through which water leaves Lake Superior. It takes two centuries for all the water in the lake to replace itself. 10. Lake Erie is the fourth-largest Great Lake in surface area, and the smallest in depth. It’s the 11th largest lake on the planet. 11. There is alleged to be a 30- to 40-foot-long “monster” in Lake Erie named Bessie. The earliest recorded sighting goes back as early as 1793. 12. Water in Lake Erie replaces itself in only 2.6 years, which is notable considering the water in Lake Superior takes two centuries. 13. The original publication of Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax contained the line, “I hear things are just as bad up in Lake Erie.” Fourteen years later, the Ohio Sea Grant Program wrote to Seuss to make the case that conditions had improved. He removed the line. 14. Not only is lake Erie the smallest Great Lake when it comes to volume, but it’s surrounded by the most industry. Seventeen metropolitan areas, each with populations of more than 50,000, border the Lake Erie basin. 15. During the War of 1812, the U.S. beat the British in a naval battle called the Battle of Lake Erie, forcing them to abandon Detroit. 16. The shoreline of all the Great Lakes combined equals nearly 44% of the circumference of the planet. 17. If not for the the Straits of Mackinac, Lake Michigan and Lake Huron might be considered one lake. Hydrologically speaking, they have the same mean water level and are considered one lake. 18. The Keystone State was one of the largest and most luxurious wooden steamships running during the Civil War. In 1861, it disappeared. In 2013, it was found 30 miles northeast of Harrisville under 175 feet of water. 19. Goderich Mine is the largest salt mine in the world. Part of it runs underneath Lake Huron, more than 500 meters underground. 20. Below Lake Huron, there are 9,000-year-old animal-herding structures used by prehistoric people from when the water levels were significantly lower. 21. There are massive sinkholes in Lake Huron that have high amounts of sulfur and low amounts of oxygen, almost replicating the conditions of Earth’s ancient oceans 3 million years ago. Unique ecosystems are contained within them. 22. Lake Huron is the second largest among the Great Lakes, and the fifth largest in the world. 23. In size, Lake Michigan ranks third among the Great Lakes, and sixth among all freshwater lakes in the world. 24. Lake Michigan is the only Great Lake that is entirely within the borders of the United States. 25. The largest fresh water sand dunes in the world line the shores of Lake Michigan. 26. Because water enters and exits Lake Michigan through the same path, it takes 77 years longer for the water to replace itself than in Huron, despite their similarity in size and depth. (Lake Michigan: 99 years, Lake Huron: 22 years) 27. When the temperature of Lake Michigan is below freezing, this happens. 28. Within Lake Michigan there is a “triangle” with a similar reputation to the Bermuda Triangle, where a large amount of “strange disappearances” have occurred. There have also been alleged UFO sightings. 29. Singapore, Mich., is a ghost town on the shores of Lake Michigan that was buried under sand in 1871. Because of severe weather conditions and a lack of resources due to the need to rebuild after the great Chicago fire, the town was lost completely. 30. In the mid-19th century, Lake Michigan had a pirate problem. Their booty: timber. In fact, the demise of Singapore is due in large part to the rapidly deforested area surrounding the town. 31. Jim Dreyer swam across Lake Michigan in 1998 (65 miles), and then in 2003, he swam the length of Lake Michigan (422 miles). 32. Lake Michigan was the location of the first recorded “Big Great Lakes disaster,” in which a steamer carrying 600 people collided with a schooner delivering timber to Chicago. Four hundred and fifty people died. 33. Lake Ontario is the smallest of the Great Lakes in surface area, and second smallest in depth. It’s the 14th largest lake on the planet. 34. The province Ontario was named after the lake, and not vice versa. 35. In 1804, a Canadian warship, His Majesty’s Ship Speedy, sank in Lake Ontario. In 1990, wreck hunter Ed Burtt managed to find it. Only, he isn’t allowed to recover any artifacts until a government-approved site to exhibit them is found. He’s still waiting. 36. Babe Ruth hit his first major league home run at Hanlan’s Point Stadium in Toronto. It landed in Lake Ontario and is believed to still be there. 37. A lake on Saturn’s moon Titan is named after Lake Ontario.
