7 times today she's asked to see this photo - I honestly do not understand why, it's not NEW but ok 🤷🏻‍♀️ - I won't post the photo of the kids cz I don't do that, but that image also, she wants to to see the 3 sets of glasses "and little pollock heads" - I guess it's her own private inventory of 'everything is okay' while gutknowing it is not

Reach first, analyze later.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There's nobility in how you choose to place your focus. You have already decided what matters to you, and that's half the battle. Today, you'll tend to what matters and let nothing shake you from your purpose. #unbreakage plain and simple
