Interview On Self-Love With Toni Black

by Uncustomary | Mar 20, 2018 | Self-Love | 0 comments

I was so happy to be a part of the Living Out Loud Summit with Toni Black earlier this year! My interview with her on self-love went live on Valentine’s Day, and it was great timing! If you didn’t get a chance to check it out, it’s a great time. We both were smiling our faces off; she’s an amazing lady!

I don’t believe in pencils. 🚫✏️ I have 1️⃣ one wo I don’t believe in pencils. 🚫✏️

I have 1️⃣ one working pencil at my house for visitors.

And 2 nostalgic ones from my childhood. Both novelty. One Cat Woman and one Little Mermaid. 🐈‍⬛🧜‍♀️

Why? 🤷‍♀️

Because I believe in being confident. 💫

I don’t pencil you in. 🖊️ I pen you in.

I want to do what I say. 📅

And if I DO make a mistake, I think it’s okay to ⤵️

A) start over 🆕
B) scribble it out and leave the evidence ❌🧼

When I was in Girl Scouts, 📛 we had to pay dues. When I was in Girl Scouts, 📛 we had to pay dues.

As a kid, I didn’t really get why. 🙋 Now I do. (due 😉)

Even when something feels easy or is free to attend, 🆓 it’s 🚫 NOT free to put on or create.

There’s a LOT of energy 💥 into anything you participate going on 👀 behind the scenes.

When I started Positive Pulse only 6 months ago, I was just hoping to have a place for a few free resources 🏫 and people to come feel better + get support.

But it kept growing 📈 and so did my energy towards it. 😮‍💨

We have 1,000 people creating the heartbeat 💓 of this lovely community, but I’m the only one sustaining the behind the scenes aspect. 🙋‍♀️

Before my ⏰ time of 🗣️ helping people, 📝 creating resources, 👩‍💻 managing, etc. or even 🪧 promoting it to let people know that this IS a 🌻 safe and accessible space for feeling good and mental health, it costs over 💸 600 a month for me to run. 🫢

Which is why I’m asking for support of 89 cents 🪙 a month to keep this community going!

If you can help us keep this going, 🆘 and give a thousand people continued access to this community, we ALL are deeply grateful. 🫶

This can be an 11K act you do! 🤗 This can be a kindness mission. This can be a way you KNOW you’re CREATING the good news you wish to see. 🌞

Good news needs funding and support, too. 📰

Thank you so much!! 🥰

Hi, I’m Mary England, 👋 your Merriment Maker 🌈 Gr Hi, I’m Mary England, 👋 your Merriment Maker 🌈

Growing up, joy often felt out of reach for me. But through my challenges (mental illness, neglect, addiction) I always believed in finding the good. 

Fast forward two psychology degrees 🎓 and over a decade of experience later, and my mission is clear: help YOU reconnect with joy, play, and your wonderfully weird self, no matter what life has thrown your way.

💖 I run the Positive Pulse - a community of Merriment Makers where adults heal through fun, creativity, and connection. We live in a world full of stress, but together, we can make joy our antidote.

I’m also doing 📰 11 thousand acts of kindness, merriment, and good news in less than a year with the #11KActs project!

Whether it’s through laughter, colorful events, 🫧or rediscovering the playful parts of you, I’m here to remind you that joy isn’t something we grow out of, it’s something we grow into.

Join me in making joy a priority. Let’s create the good news we want to see in our lives. 

👉 Follow me & check out The Positive Pulse for just 89 cents. Let’s reconnect to the joy that’s always been within you.

A night I felt shy 🫣 if you can believe it. One n A night I felt shy 🫣 if you can believe it.

One night, Kendall + I were out on a date 📅

We started at Red Emma’s ☕ to get to know each other better while we made postcards to send to strangers 💌(see this week’s 11K Mission!).

They started an event🎙️ in the main space + they shushed us.🤫

So we went to 🚗 Peabody Brewery.

There was lots going on! 🧶 Crafting 📚Fundraiser for books 🎸Band 🐸 People in costume. It was cute.

We talked + created more. 🗨️Before it was time to go, she asked me if I had those bookmarks 🔖 I mentioned earlier. I did + she started quickly putting 11K stickers 🏷️ on them (they said “You’re Doing Amazing!”)

BTW: I admire her skills to do things while walking. 🚶‍♀️I think that might be something that comes w/ being a parent. I can barely walk without walking into a door frame.😂

She was on a mission to do OUR missions.

But as soon as we walked into the main brewery, I felt shy. 😳 It’s not something that happens often, but it did. Kendall is a rare breed of people, like me (usually), who is good at interacting with strangers. 🗣️ (We prefer it in fact.)

I didn’t say how I was feeling because I knew we could do it. + worst case I could leave things in spots 👀 for people to find later. 🎁 I just didn’t really feel like approaching people for whatever reason.🤷‍♀️

Kendall was a cartoon blur 💨 handing out bookmarks, + I was scrambling to keep up.⚡ Adding more stickers, pulling out more mystery goody bags from my 🌈 rainbow Merry Poppins bag 👛

Once she had infiltrated the craft table, we found really similar souls. 👭

2 of them found us + told us how much it meant to them. How much they needed it. 🫶 They were so kind + lovely. I gave them more goodies + my business card. 🃏 Told them about 11K

Kendall is also great at taking pictures for others + she captured this picture of us together 📸 I love it.

Everyone gets shy. 🆗 You can do missions however feels good in the moment + it doesn’t hurt to have people with you. There’s power in numbers. 👥

Come to the next 🎈Operation Merriment event to try it! 🗓️ Nov 22nd

Can't come❓️What's a little joy you'll make instead?
