Goddess of Fertility Day
According to mythology, Aphrodite is the goddess of fertility (among other things).  But she isn't the only one that carries the ability to enable fertility, here's a complete list - it is quite extensive!
Well, you can try leaning on one of the goddesses listed. I personally don't recommend it but you could try. But if you want to know about the real science of fertility then I've done some research for you. :)

Forgive Mom & Dad Day
Hey listen, we all do the best with what we know, with what has been modeled - or not - for us.  So if you've been mad at your mom and/or dad for how they parented - or didn't - you, then take some time today to recognize what may have been modeled for them.  What did they have to "work with"?  And then realize that nobody is perfect, we all make mistakes, and forgiveness is the best way to move forward.

Life according to van Gogh...sort of

There are two ways of thinking about painting, how not to do it and how to do it; how to do it -- with much drawing and little color; how not to do it -- with much color and little drawing.   Vincent van Gogh in a l etter to Theo van Gogh, April 1882 Life is a little bit like today's quote from van Gogh.  Some of us live life focusing on the drawing - the details - and have very little color.  Others of us go for the color and forsake, to a degree, the drawing - the details.  Unlike painting, according to van Gogh, one is not wrong over the other but somewhere in between the two would be the best I would think.  If you look at some of van Gogh's paintings I feel like you can see where he might have struggled between the "how to do it" and the " how not to do it" (as he admittedly loved color so much but knew he had to focus more on the drawing) and that seems to be reflected in his life as well.  In the end he wasn't able to find the ...
