Identifying Fear

Fear: its easy to talk about, identifying, facing and correcting fears is the challenge.. The courage to look in the mirror and observe is possessed by the free, lets focus on identifying and getting to the root of these “fears” only then will we see life changing change… I formally challenge us all..

Knowing is just the start

Knowing is just the start. Making what you know live, and then complete through application, is the goal. Only then you have prepared to share. We know truth through application of what we know. When we manifest ideas and make them experiences, we can be sure.

Application Is The Measure Of Knowing

Take what you know & apply it fully within self & externally. Then we truly know. Application is the measure of knowing

When Faced w/Adversity Many Complain…

Often in life when faced w/adversity many complain & retreat, embrace the the struggle, surrender to the pain and transcend the illusion, like childbirth the greatest miracle comes with great challenge.  Take time to study what challenges us, seek the lesson & the blessing. (9)

Brown Pup Blonde Pup

Holding Bear (left) and Teddy (right)

A friend tagged me in this post on facebook today, the message in this story is really alarming  I wanted to share, please feel free to share your opinions.

Brown Pup Blonde Pup posted on facebook by Sheena

Yesterday, while walking my two Shih Tzu puppies Teddy and Bear, my boyfriend and I came upon a little black girl.
“Can I pet that one?” she asked.
“You can pet that one,” I said while looking at Teddy the blonde pup.
“But, why don’t you want to pet that one?” I asked, pointing at the brown pup, Bear.
“Because he’s too black,” she replied.
I can still hear her little voice in my head and still wonder how she would come to that conclusion and why she reacted the way she did, wringing her hands and looking away from Bear who looked equally eager to lick her face as Teddy.
She couldn’t have been older than 7.
Other black children in my community have similar sentiments. Completely ignoring Bear and greeting Teddy with open arms.
Just trying to gather feedback.
Any thoughts?
Sound off.

My humble opinion follows:

Too many of us are too deeply affected by issues regarding race and color, and are in a weekend state and emotionally unable to face this truth.. this illness will remain and our babies will continue to be poisoned by this way of thinking until more of us empower ourselves , man and woman up and begin to face these issues. It runs deep, and is constantly reinforced within the media and outside world, the saddest part is that most likely in this young girls case and in many families these ideas are constantly perpetuated in the home as well in daily life.. Many of our people are taught not to love self, theres a great distain for blackness and a strong embrace of self hate.. The love for the words nigga & bitch, is a simple example of this, terms of destruction are regularly used to address one another .. its a major problem..

for further insight the book post traumatic slave syndrome by dr joy leary is a great analysis of these issue with ways to begin healing them. http://www.joydegruy.com/ptss/index.html

Messenger & Message

They say focus not on the messenger, instead on the message. We can find jewels with in words, writing, yet a message is not limited to words, a messengers actions, her/his way are also and even more so his/her message and ultimately their gospel (22)

Online Social Behavior Of Our Youth

lol…. you can only control the FB behavior of your own.. and hope to influence the behavior of others.. We must have faith in our example and ability to teach because we are sincere and consistent.. when we were kids we had more privacy to hide our social behavior, Facebook, twitter, myspace, actually put it all out in the open. There are no mysteries. Parents can now check their child’s  caller id to see who they talk to and for how long, we can even give them GPS cell phones so we know where they are and set an alarm to go off if they are not in a pre-designated location at a particular time..

What went unseen and was left to detective work and speculation in our day is out in the open now. Lets equip ourself to answer the need for guidance… WE SEE YOU GUYS!!!
