Echoes of Lost Generations 011811

Just completed the second week of the new year
I feel like I have a fresh start
I’ve completed all of the work owed to past clients
I can officially go back to fine arts and fashion
Its been a hard transition
Hard for me to tell people “No”
It does not come natural to me
Trusting that I will be allowed the time
To focus on new things for a while
The time to focus on building families
Our 1st Annual Family Leadership Award was a success
Already planning the next one
It was Dr. Kings Birthday yesterday
I always feel bad on that day
Let down by the state of not only blacks
But all races
We all have sat back for decades
Allowing the government to chip away at our basic rights
No more God in the schools
Cant even tell someone to have a blessed day in work emails
Those that are more fortunate could care less
That there is a Health Care reform to help the less fortunate
Everybody is waiting on God to show up
Waiting for God to perform so miracle to save us all
While I know and trust that God only works for us
through us….
We have the power within us to boycott things we don’t agree with
We have the collective power to help with and end homelessness
We have the food to help the starving and hungry
One dollar from every human being…
Only a few churches are actively involved in restoring communities
Most have grown into businesses that must pay salaries
Businesses that cant function if a certain amount isn’t reached each Sunday
The church “was” a place of refuge
It “was” where the cold could go to get heat
It “was” where the hungry could go to get fed
It “was” where a single mom could go for comfort and counseling
Now that same female is lusted after by the pastors
Those young men are being molested by the clergy
And nobody boycotts…
No collective body God fearing of beings STAND UP!
This is so far from a “Negro” problem
Everybody is waiting on a “savior” of a man
Not realizing that the same power lies within them
We all have the power to be Good
Each of us have the ability to do great things
If only to help simply one of the people we know

I have such a long way to go on my journey
So much to learn still
I’ve spent the majority of my life struggling
Fighting away ignorance
One of the truest enemies we all have
To defeat ignorance is to conquer fear
It opens understanding
It allows us all to become learned of one another
Shows us how to respect and help each other

I turn 35 this year
And plan to make this a phenomenal year
I end this post urging you to make this a phenomenal year as well
