They say nobody wants to talk about politics over dinner. Who are They? They must be the benefactors of a politically ignorant population. Or a politically fatigued population. Yall, They are bold-faced liars. We really need to talk about Thanksgiving. I mean we really need to stop allowing public education and the media to lie to our children... We need to stop lying to our children. At Circle Sisters 13 we dont shy away from Darkness... And Thanksgiving is Darkness. It is a 300 hundred-year-old ritual (Gladiator Games- Football & Ceremony-Turkey Dinners) celebrating the massacre of Indigenous women, men and children in the name of ....? I dunno what god the sacrifice was given to, They say Jesus.... Since when Jesus required blood sacrifices? ...And what about that Turkey? Lets build. 

We have reached the end of this study. Tonight is Chapter 10. Gosh, Im thankful that the intelligence of High Priestess Enheduanna whispered in my ear to search for her words. I was looking for timeless poetry and I found the Genesis. Selah. We found H.E.R. Selah.

We are transitioning... Lively Up Yourself!

So we should already know and understand that folks that lost their loved ones, homes, cars, precious keepsakes and jobs are under a tremendous amount of stress... that lady that kept jumping back into the water after she was rescued? Stressed thee fuq out and a little out her mind... and understandably so.... B.u.t. what about the people that did not experience the hurricane and the flooding? What about the ones that watched and internalized the 'fall-out' via tv? Or the people with loved ones that are essentially trapped in their neighborhoods by deteriorated infrastructures? Y'all, please understand that this experience is akin to 9-11, Hurricane Katrina and all the other major disasters.. actually, this is the worst domestic storm ever...  So, please know that different people handle stress differently. Some people cry, some people get angry, some people over-shop, some turn to drugs and some show no physical reaction.. Some people are still in shock... Correction: I said I felt "Survivors Remorse" because I didnt experience this event the same as those that lost their personal possessions. The correct term is "Survivor's Guilt." The feeling of guilt stemming from a shared tradegy where one survives and one dies. The survivor feels guilty for remaining alive while the other person sharing the tradegy died.   

We are thankful Sis LaNee Javet agreed to not only speak with us about the Spa Retreat and Wealth Conference she's hosting on Labor Day Weekend, but she also agreed to give us informaton specific for 'bouncing back' from the unexpecteds of Post-Hurricane Harvey.

As we continue to evolve and transmute our ignornace and miseducations, we realize many of our triggers are implants. One of our greatest hinderances is lack of understanding. As African-Americans, July 04 may bring mixed emotions. Some of us identfiy with the history lessons taught by school teachers therefore celebration and tribute is the order of the day. For others of us, Fredrick Douglass's July Fourth Speech still rings true. And for a small few of us, we are coming into the understanding that there is a darker (and distantly-familiar), hidden agenda that comes with all holidays (holy days).
