If you're following us on Instagram @fredandfar, you're probably already familiar with our Radical Thoughts series. For us, radical thoughts are the simple, self-evident truths that easily get overlooked. The truths that need to be proclaimed as radical so that they receive the attention they deserve. Here are some of our favorites. Make sure to follow on Instagram so you get them in real time.
This week's Self Love Challenge is to come up with your own Radical Thoughts and share them. The more radical the better. We'll add yours to the list.
