We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.

Understanding
The only brain/mind you have is your own, brain transplants are not a thing yet. How you understand something originates from your mind and experience. I can have empathy and sympathy, but I am only able to think and feel from what I have been through. I hope this makes sense.
Question Of The Day 102221
Isn’t science one of the foundations of nursing and teaching? Why are those folks not lining up to get vaccinated for COVID? They do it for the flu and pneumonia. It’s all crazy.

Today Is Spirit Day – Bringing Awareness To #LGBTQ Bullying #SpiritDay
Spirit Day now occurs every year on the third Thursday in October, during National Bullying Prevention Month, and has become the most visible day of support for LGBTQ youth.
As a person of faith, I know God made us ALL of us in His image. To bully someone for living their truth and for how they love is wrong. LGBTQ folks have a right to happiness and the blessings of their creator. Some of my best friends are people of faith who happen to be a member of the LGBTQ community. I stand with them for being awesome people. Love is Love my good people.
