michellemonaghanWe’ve all felt the stress and pressure brought on by the Covid-19 virus but I’m so inspired by those that put themselves out there to help others during this time! Take Maggie Doyne. At 19, Maggie took money she’d earned babysitting and purchased a plot of land in rural Nepal. She co-founded the @blinknoworg in 2007 and is now quarantined with her husband, her daughter and 53 local children! That’s a lot of mouths to feed. Maggie remains ever optimistic and cares for her enormous family in these crazy times and times are certainly tough. She is feeding and schooling her family and supporting the local food bank as well. Her selflessness reminds me how thankful I am for my own family and our health. If you’re interested in Maggie’s foundation and feel led to help support, visit the link in my bio. ❤️ #WCW
michellemonaghanWe built a panda habitat this weekend cuz you know, homeschool. Teachers are truly national treasures and we miss them terribly. I’m so grateful for their continued dedication and inspiration they are providing for our kiddos under these circumstances. Getting creative, being messy and making family memories is deeply comforting right now. Wishing you all a beautiful and healthy week ahead. 🐼🖤🐼 #quarantinelife #teacherappreciation
michellemonaghanMy daughter saw the crescent-shaped moon tonight and said it was missing just two things...she made those eyes and in turn, she made my day. 💛 #littlethings #perspective
michellemonaghanScholar ✔️ Environmental activist ✔️ Food sovereignty advocate ✔️ AND an author of more than 20 books ✔️ Please give it up for #VandanaShiva, a leader and ecofeminist, stressing the connection between the exploitation of our planet and the oppression of women. She has spent her career taking on multinationals as part of her fight to preserve the planet. I’m in awe of the way she holds people and corporations’ accountable for their role in the deterioration of our climate. Who better to highlight on this #EarthDay?! 🌍💚 Tell me some of your favorite ecofeminists below. 👇🏼 #wcw
michellemonaghanIt’s been an incredible experience to witness so many people come together to sew masks during this time. Who knew such a small item would play such a significant role in our lives! One woman, however, recognized an additional need. Ashley Lawrence realized that for those who depend on lip reading or ASL to communicate are often cut off from their source of communication when doctors and nurses have to don surgical masks. Ashley’s solution was simple and yet so effective. She created masks with face visibility, so those relying on lip reading or ASL can now communicate in their most vulnerable of times. What an ingenious invention! Additionally, she met her @GoFundMe goal in under a week! Bravo to all the compassionate folks who supported her along the way. #WCW 😷❤️
michellemonaghanA true original and a musical hero of mine. I finally got to see him in concert two years ago at the beautiful @theryman. I delighted in every moment that eve, tapped my toe and shed the happiest tears. These are different tears tonight indeed but by God, my toe will forever tap for you @john_prine. #restinharmony
michellemonaghanA lil’ #diy mask project for your Saturday from the one and only @bridgetbragerhair. All you need is a bandana and scrunchies! Stay safe out there, folks. 🧡
michellemonaghanIt’s Friday and I feel great. Really. I washed my hair and I put perfume on. For fun. I’m having fun. Lots of it. 💙 (and because you’ll ask and you should, the beautiful dream catcher is from one of my favorite shops @thebarn808). I’m pretty cruisey on my current goals at the moment and I hope you are too. Do your best, spread some kindness and brushing your hair is completely optional, obvs. But washing your hands is not. 💙 Let’s #flattenthecurve folks. #saferathome
michellemonaghanHello all you devoted @MessiahNetflix fans. It’s with a heavy heart to announce that we won’t be able to return for a second season. I have so much gratitude to everyone who tuned in, supported and whose global perspectives were broadened from watching our show. To have worked with such a dedicated, talented, kind cast and crew, to have traveled to some of the most beautiful and sacred places in the world and to have met people near and far, was a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you to our creator Michael Petroni, @netflix and to the rest of our Messiah team. Sending love and health to all corners of the world and to those affected at this time. ❤️🙏🌏
michellemonaghanThings are changing drastically every day and our healthcare professionals need masks. If you have a 3D printer, please consider printing masks. If you have a sewing machine, please consider sewing masks. If you happen to just have masks, visit mask-match.com or masksfordocs.com to find out where to send them. Thank you to everyone going above and beyond to help others in need! 😷❤️
michellemonaghanWishing everyone a peaceful Sunday. 🕊If you can, please support your local businesses at this time. They are the fabric of our beloved neighborhoods. The ladies over @shopdoen are offering 15% off in support of @plannedparenthood until midnight tonight. As you know, they are my favorite (as is this beautiful painting by my other favorite, local artist @karlihenneman) 💫 #supportsmallbusiness #togetherness
michellemonaghanThere are so many unsung heroes working through this pandemic but today I want to show my appreciation to women healthcare workers. As I sit in my living room, safe, and homeschooling my children during this isolation, I know how fortunate I am. I know there are so many women and mothers out there still working. So many that are helping those who can’t help themselves. So many on the frontlines at hospitals and clinics, putting themselves at risk to help others while their own children and families are being looked after by someone else. Thank you. THANK YOU. From the bottom of my heart. I see you and appreciate your sacrifices. #WCW Link in bio for a way to support our healthcare workers.
