Sharing my thanks

Today as I worked on blog posts and taxes, I took time to be thankful. Many times we forget to be thankful for what we have until it is gone. We become so wrapped up in what our intelligence dictates that we forget we did not create ourselves.

Today I gave thanks for life. I am thankful that although I have had a series of strokes I still command my faculties well. I am thankful I can walk. I am thankful for a home and vehicle paid in full. I am thankful for the time to allow my body to heal after being doubtful of living to see 2011. I am thankful for the children in my life who remind me that I am not omniscient. I am thankful to not have buried a child or visit one in jail. I am thankful for the elderly who still guide me in life. I am thankful for the grace of God that allows me to live despite the errors I have made. I am so blessed to live in a country where women are empowered. I am blessed to say what I so desire without fear of becoming a detainee.

Take not each moment for granted. Live to your highest good every moment granted to you. Know that divine guidance is yours for the asking. Ask. Spend more time showing love than promoting hate.

Just hanging with friends

Sometimes when I have enough of my dry county life, I head to Jackson to take in the sights and sounds of the big city. I am posting some pics I took on one such visit to Jackson. I am still learning how to be better at video. I hope to have it right before son graduates from high school. If not I shall have it ready in time for my first grandchild's Ph.D. ceremony.

Black Lightning is more than ready for prime time

Black Lightning It is finally here.   I do mean finally for I have been waiting for seems to be ages (1977).   I am calling for a second season having only watched the first two episodes.   I am not sure of the level of involvement Tony Isabella & Trevor Von Eeden in the production of each episode.     The first two I enjoyed, did I say that already?   The first two episodes seems to have been packed with every issue seen in mainstream media and think pieces regarding the Black community.   This posting is not a think piece. It is my piss piece.   Before I touch on the piss, thanks, many thanks, to Salim and Mara Akil for making it happen. Black Lighting   opens with a Black parent, once again, having to bail a child out of jail for exercising his/her right of protest in the USA. We need to question why peaceful protests with no guns see protestors arrested. Please do not take I am saying people of color should have guns at pro...

White Boys Whine

Quick  and dirty   Star Trek  Discovery  is everything  I  thought  it would  be.  It is my hope the White  boys  chill the fuck out .  There will be a White male captain .   The Black  woman  will be of a lowered  status.  White  boys  are you appeased ? My personal  view fuck White  boys who had their dicks in a vise  over women  of color  at the helm of a fictional  space vessel.  I shall watch  Star Trek  Discovery .  I shall pay the fee to CBS Access  with joy. If you wanted to watch OITNB you paid  Netflix . Overall  I look  forward  to the day a fictional  show  that features  women  of color  in prominent  positions  doesn't  freak out White males.  They were  so freaked  out  they compared  The Orville  to Star Trek  Discover...
