this came up as today's affirmation in the Finch app today.

out of curiosity, how many of you can say this unequivocally?
image of three yellow cartoon birbs from the Finch app. the one on the left has its eyes closed and a small sprout on its head. the one in the middle has eyes open with a slightly bigger sprout. the one on the right has eyes closed in a content expression with a flowering sprout. the text reads: I love the person I am becoming

I first read @seananmcguire.bsky.social 's Rosemary and Rue (October Daye book 1) in May of 2022. I finished The Innocent Sleep (book 18) on September 4th of this year. it was a weird feeling to then have no more Toby books i could consume. Glad that changes in a week!

Affirmations are still new for me but this one is exactly what I needed for some of the work i'm currently doing.
A teal cartoon birb is on a medium blue background. The birb is wearing a black tshirt with the words "Be You" and black striped track pants. They have on headphones and black tennis shoes. They have dragon wings. They have a pink 4 balloon and a pink star friend. The text reads: I let go of perfection and embrace progress.

Z (8) said the cats were protesting...then made protest signs. LOL
A protest sign for cats, with three hand drawn cats with the text, "Cats are amazing." A protest sign for cats, with a cat and an exclamation mark that says, "Cats can live." A cat protest sign with a cat with its paws in the air with the text, "Cats have rights."

My Finch affirmation for the day. Daily affirmations are new for me, but I have a lot of challenges ahead, and I need to prioritize healthy behavior.
