February Is Black History Month #BlackHistoryMonth

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. There are also recognitions of Black History Month in Canada, United Kingdom and The Netherlands. You cannot tell the story of a nation without Black stories being heard. I am glad to learn more and to be a part of this.

Have we lost our collective minds?

Well, Hello, February 2021

Wow! All of a sudden it’s February 2021. Let’s see what you have in store for us. I hope it will be a peaceful time. We could use a bit of a break. Love and peace to you all my good people.

Sunday Reflection: Good Destruction

Forces in your life will destroy you. Well not kill you but shape you in such a way that changes you for the better. Everyone is being destroyed by something that is making you who you were meant to be. Those are things that impact your whole life and everything that makes you the person you are.

Good destruction means allowing yourself to be transformed into someone better and to come into good forces that will show you a new way forward. Love is a good force that destroys and builds back better.

Your identity is being formed as you go through this life and hopefully, good things are influencing you. It’s incredible how a wrecking ball can take away the things that are doing bad stuff in your life. What is that thing that is making you that person you are supposed to be?

She Should Be Living

In an earlier post, I talked about a young woman I knew who died of Covid at age 32. Today was her funeral and visitation. To see a young person in a casket makes no sense. It was a Saturday and she should be with friends, at work, living her life not being buried. Life is so not fair. She was way too young. My heart aches for her family especially her parents. Be sure you are living your life in the way you want. It’s what is right.
