Daily Affirmation for June 21, 2025 to Kickstart Your Vibe
'I trust the timing of my life — even when it doesn't make sense yet.'
💫 Vibe Check:
Feeling behind? Comparing your pace to everyone else's highlight reel? We've all been there. But today's energy is a reminder that your journey is unfolding exactly as it's meant to — plot twists, pauses, and all. You're not late. You're not off track. You're just living a timeline that's custom-built for you.
🧘♀️ Why This Works:
We live in a world obsessed with milestones: career by 25, marriage by 30, success by yesterday. But comparison is a trap, and it steals your peace. This affirmation helps ground you in the truth that not everything needs to happen now to be meaningful later. Trusting your own pace builds resilience — and self-love.
🌿 Your Mini Mission:
Today, ditch the pressure to 'keep up.' Instead:
– Unfollow one account that makes you question your worth.
– Write down three things you've done lately that your younger self would be proud of.
– Whisper this when your mind spirals: 'I am not behind. I am becoming.'
🎧 Divine Timing Playlist:
For the days you need to slow down and trust the magic:
'Unwritten' – Natasha Bedingfield
'Wait for It' – Leslie Odom Jr. (Hamilton)
'Grow As We Go' – Ben Platt
'Everything in Its Time' – Indigo Girls
🔮 BonusEnergy Tip:
Look at the sky today — sunrise, sunset, or just clouds drifting.
Let it remind you: nothing in nature rushes, and it all still blooms.
You will too.

Frank Caprio, 'nicest judge in the world' dies, aged 88
Rhode Island judge Frank Caprio, known as "the nicest judge in the world", has died after a battle with cancer, according to his social media pages. "Unfortunately, I've had a setback. I'm back in the hospital now and I'm coming to you again asking you to remember me in your prayers once more," Mr Caprio said in a video, referring to a previous bout with pancreatic cancer. He became a judge in 1985 and earned his nickname after his stint on the show Caught in Providence, where he was the subject of frequent viral videos due to his compassionate responses to defendants brought before him. In one case from a 2017 episode, a grieving mother appeared with a stack of parking fines, telling Mr Caprio she was struggling to cope after her son was killed. The judge dismissed all the penalties and said: "I don't think anyone in their lifetime would ever want to experience that." Mr Caprio was a beloved community figure and had millions of followers on social media. He travelled to the UAE in 2023, where he delivered a speech at the Sharjah International Communication Forum, telling the audience that his visit was motivated by a desire to further promote his message that understanding and compassion can unite human beings. Governor Dan McKee ordered that Rhode Island flags fly at half-staff through the day of his interment, calling Mr Caprio a "treasure" who connected with people as "a symbol of empathy on the bench, showing us what is possible when justice is tempered with humanity", according to NBC's Boston affiliate.

Daily Affirmation for August 20, 2025 to Kickstart Your Vibe
✨ Today's Affirmation: 'I am allowed to take up space — exactly as I am.' Vibe Check: Ever feel like you're shrinking yourself to keep others comfortable? Not today. Today's energy is giving main character, not sidekick. You don't need to apologize for existing, having opinions, or being a little louder than usual. This is your reminder that you belong — in every room, in every conversation, in your full, glorious form. Claim it. Why This Works: From a young age, so many of us are taught to tone it down — be quieter, be smaller, be "less." But confidence doesn't come from fitting in. It comes from owning who you are, even when it feels risky. This affirmation helps dismantle internalized shame and gives you permission to expand. No shrinking required. Your Mini Mission: Today, take up literal space. Sit with good posture. Speak up once in that meeting or group chat. Wear something that makes you feel seen. Then, journal this: 'Where in my life am I dimming myself — and how can I flip that switch?' Loud & Unapologetic Playlist: For the days you're done playing small: 'Confident' – Demi Lovato 'Run the World (Girls)' – Beyoncé 'I Am Enough' – Daphne Willis Bonus Energy Tip: Look at yourself in the mirror and say: 'I am not too much — I am exactly enough.' Repeat until it feels real. Because you are. Always have been.

Kate Moss: The Making Of An Ultra-Icon
If you ask the AI model brain trust how to construct an icon they might very well generate an answer that comes remarkably close to describing Kate Moss The first thing you need is an insanely rare, utterly unique, instantly recognisable and undeniable talent. In Kate's case it's not her skills as a model, which are now legendary but were initially received with significant scepticism. As the legend goes, Kate was discovered by Sarah Doukas, the founder of Storm Model Management, at JFK Airport in 1988, when she was just 14 years old and travelling back to London from a family vacation. Sarah was struck by Kate's unusual look – waiflike, androgynous, and totally unlike the Supers who were dominating the late '80s fashion scene at the time. Measuring a scant 5' 7' with spindly, slightly bowed legs and that unsettling alien beauty, Kate did not match the moment. In a blind quote that has since become part of the Kate Moss legend, she was allegedly described by a fashion industry insider as 'a cockney kid with crooked teeth and bandy legs.' Kate's feral oddness was striking, and would become an industry-altering force, shifting fashion's ideal away from in-your-face traditional beauty and towards the more elusive and unconventional, but that's not her super power either. Her super power is her charisma. That unnameable quality she still radiates thirty-plus years after she left Croydon and made her way to central London. The quality that every single person who first met or worked with her, from Mario Sorrenti to Marc Jacobs to Alexander McQueen have described, in vivid detail, as if they can play that magical moment on tape in their minds forever. 'The moment I saw her, I knew,' John Galliano, who cast Kate in his very first show in 1989, has said. 'She wasn't just a model – she was a character, a presence. You couldn't teach that. You couldn't fake it.' The second thing you need is extremely good timing. You need your unique talent – whatever it is – to fill an unmet need in the culture's psyche, and to emerge exactly when the culture is starting to search around for its next defining obsession. When Kate showed up, the '80s were nearly over and everything associated with the so-called Decade of Excess felt tired. Power suits and shiny hair and money were out. What appealed now was a kind of elegant grime, reflected in the simplicity of the vintage-inspired slip dress, the easy beauty of clean skin and dirty hair, and, of course, grunge music and the alternative culture that grew around it. Kate's breakout moment came with the 1990 shoot by Corinne Day for The Face – raw, intimate photos that presented Kate in a stripped-down, vulnerable light, wearing minimal make-up and basic clothes. Kate went on to date Cry Baby and Viper Room-era Johnny Depp. They were the perfect Gen X couple in matching biker jackets and bedhead, one prettier than the other, depending on the light. She walked in the legendary Marc Jacobs for Perry Ellis 'grunge' show in the autumn of 1992, and became a poster girl for a new articulation of coolness, one defined by attitude as much as by a specific look. 'She was like a magical creature,' Marc has said. 'The minute she walked into a room, she was just… cool. Not trying to be cool. She just was. And it wasn't only the look – it was the attitude, the mystery.' Whether we're talking about those early Corinne Day images, several of which are now part of the collections at the Victoria and Albert Museum and the National Portrait Gallery, or snaps taken by the legions of paparazzi who have been following Kate for decades, there's something eternally riveting about what comes through the lens of a camera when Kate is in front of it – she gives us something we feel we need. It's the radiant sense of mischief and play she exudes, a permission structure for living a bit more freely, with a bit more beneficent recklessness in your own life. And, of course, it's also the clothes. From the early years of ballet flats and skinny jeans, to the iconic Glastonbury wellies-and-cutoffs, to the breathtakingly simple cream-coloured wedding dress and veil (Galliano, of course) she wore when she married The Kills' Jamie Hince in 2011, Kate has taught generations how to build their own identity using the language of clothes. The final thing you need is an innate awareness that silence is your superpower. All the great icons know how to shut up. They know to let their work speak for itself. They know that to live a truly wild life, requires– ironically, perhaps – a certain discipline. From the very beginning, Kate Moss had that kind of restraint. Through her myriad ups and downs in the public eye – including most famously the Pete Doherty era where allegedly incriminating photos of her were published in the Daily Mirror – she has stuck very close to the mantra, 'never complain, never explain.' There's an old-worldness to this distinctly modern wild child's relationship with fame. Like a silent film star or a reclusive novelist, she mostly refuses to talk about her (at times) incredibly decadent and interesting life. Instead, she is busy living it. It's this quality that elevates Kate from fashion superstar to actual rock star. There's something about people who play music that puts them at the top of the famous-person food chain. I've seen a room full of extremely well-known actors fawn over bassists in bands you've barely heard of. It's an intriguing sociological phenomenon. But Kate has always been the exception. She doesn't have to worship rock stars because she is one. She has worked closely with Primal Scream, appearing in the 2003 video for Some Velvet Morning (2003) and duetting (with surprising skill!) with Bobby Gillespie on the song. She's been a part of every major music scene in the UK since the Britpop era, as a muse and creative collaborator. 'The minute she walked into a room, she was just… cool. Not trying to be cool. She just was. And it wasn't only the look – it was the attitude, the mystery' Marc Jacobs It's Kate's appearance in one particular music video that perhaps best encapsulates the ineffable quality that has made her an enduring icon. The White Stripes I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself, shot in 2003 and directed by Sofia Coppola, features no scenes of the band at all. The song is a serrated ballad of sorts, all wrenching guitar, Meg White's beguiling drums, and Jack White's anguished vocals. But all we see in the video is Kate, through Sofia's eye, completely in black and white, pole dancing for an audience of none. It's everything that makes Kate compelling, in one two-minute-and-forty-four-seconds clip. She's beautiful, of course, when we get a glimpse of her from behind her cascading mane of thick blonde hair. But the overall feeling is of being invited into an experience that is intimate and joyful, naughty and innocent. You keep watching Kate, fixated and enthralled, but you also feel like you can't quite see her. She keeps moving, her face catching the light briefly, then falling into shadow as she tilts her head back and swings herself around, following the rhythm of the music into the next frame. In the end, Kate seems to be dancing for an audience of one. In the end, she seems to be dancing only for herself. Photography: David Sims. Styling: Emmanuelle Alt. Hair: Paul Hanlon. Make-Up: Yadim.
