Today, December 26, begins the celebration of Kwanzaa, until January 1, 2022.

Each day is dedicated to one of the seven principles which are as follows:

  1. Umoja – Unity
  2. Kujichaguilia – Self-Determination
  3. Ujima – Collective Work and Responsibility
  4. Ujamaa – Cooperative Economics
  5. Nia – Purpose
  6. Kuumba – Creativity
  7. Imani – Faith

These seven principles, or Nguzo Saba in Kiswahili, are universal in their practice and purpose…something we can all engage in dedicating ourselves to observe and practice…everyday.

This is the time for families and communities to come together to remember the past and to celebrate African American culture…The diversity of humankind declares in every voice…every holiday observed…in every Race…Creed…and Culture…the importance and contributions…the struggles…atrocities…victories…losses…successes…any and all imaginable hills…valleys…mountains and challenges…human created…or created by forces out of humankind’s control…have concluded with survival and the recognition of the best of the human spirit…in the community and family of human beings…known as the Human Race.

Let us choose a principle…or all seven, and practice making significant contributions to the growth and continuity of our human family and communities…

We must learn to understand and embrace our connectivity to one another….celebrate it…nurture it…protect it…respect it…love it.

It has never been about declaring “separatism” in any form…yet we have come to create schisms to stand apart and divide our family…and our communities…

God or the force you believe to accept…created diversity to test the human spirit…to test it’s acceptance of beauty…and how it is defined…in your eyes…In God’s eyes…the beauty of every diverse creation is loved…cherished…and uplifted…God does not differentiate…the condemnation comes from the lack of love….How deep and comprehensive is humankind’s understanding and practice of Love?

Start by celebrating Kwanzaa…the Seven Principles of Kwanzaa are Universal…

Educate yourself to the beauty of diversity…

Strive to understand…and practice the multiverse of Love…

Happy Kwanzaa!!!!

Here we are…December 1st…the last month of the year…And what a year this has been!

Let’s take a moment to reflect on the last eleven months…really assess them and prepare ourselves for December and our passage into the New Year…

What have we learned?

Have we grown for the better?

Will our journey through the last eleven months open us up to wisdom, growth and change?

Do we understand our connectivity to the Human family, the Animal Kingdom and our environment…our planet?

Will we continue to take life for granted…or will we wake up to the truth of our contributions, or non-contributions…and take responsibility for our creations?

It is time to confront fears and monsters of our own making…conquer them….and lay them to rest.

December is a month of accumulation…introspection…standing up…taking action…dissolving…blessing and releasing…acceptance…moving forward….

Let us move forward welcoming in the holidays and a new place in our bodies…minds…and spirits for positive change…healing ourselves…healing our worlds…and healing the greater world and our planet.

We have a huge responsibility ahead…

We cannot go backwards…we must have the courage to move forward and preserve that which does not tear down or take us to dark places in history… which only serve to become weapons of humanity’s destruction and ultimate demise…The savagery of the soul…must be overcome to enlighten the human spirit…and clear the path to truly understand the meaning of Love…It isn’t just a four letter word…it is a way of life…and an endless journey of achievement…because temptation and free-will are extremely seductive…with endless side-paths leading away from the Ultimate Destination….

The Ultimate Destination isn’t what one thinks…yet it is the longing of every heart…every soul…

Allow the light bulb in your being to click on….and stay on…lighting your understanding to the evolution of humankind…and the invaluable part you are in achieving longevity and the best of human existence.

December is here…

You…are here…

Pave the way to a future where unity can be second nature in the way we respond to one another…and our planet…

Let’s build a better bridge into next month….

The last month of the year…Begins with Cheer…

December…is here.

Can We Fix Us?

Nature has a way of finding balance when something is not instep with her creation…

Almost every living thing has a way of correcting its anomalies…except for humanity…Humans would rather control and destroy than adjust and balance…and seek harmony in support of preserving resources and coming up with safe and viable alternatives to depletion and sucking the life out of our planet which sustains and supports life without conditions.

We exploit this gift of sustained life by ignorance…greed…and denial…

Now every ignorance, act of greed and gain, and denial of the consequences of guardianship of Earth… have come to collect…balance…and even the score. These callous and egregious acts of humankind visited upon the planet…and one another in war and non-support of those in less developed countries have unleashed forces that are now out of human control as well as being too late to repair what has been damaged.

People continue to believe that they can beat Covid-19 with and without vaccines…without masks…social distancing and ignorance and denial of common sense and logic…which will wipe out half the population of the planet if these attitudes and foolish flaunting continue in their present manner.

Life on this planet was given the choice of continuing forward in the evolution of life for another geological age…or face extinction.

Governments are failing…Climate change is demonstrating its human-altered existence…and destruction capabilities…a pandemic is quickly taking the shape of the next human-cleansing plague…

Can We Fix Us?

Do we want to fix us?

Do we want to fix human mistakes to preserve and save the planet…Our life force?

Do we care enough to fix us???

Maybe we need more heatwaves, floods and earthquakes…More countries ravaged by war, displacing and claiming the lives of innocent men, women and children…

Maybe we need more corrupt and non-functioning government entities and self-serving politicians…maybe we need more insurrections…misinformed and cult controlled citizens…and election promises that never materialize…for instance, $50,000 in student loan forgiveness by President Biden…or total student loan forgiveness to give our country’s economy a real boost and people the opportunity to have a piece of American Pie…

Maybe we need another albatross around our necks to rise up and toss “tea into harbors” around the country in protest of “taxation without representation”…especially people of color…

Maybe we need to question our humanity…and have #MeToo accountability in every aspect of man’s inhumanity to every man, woman and child…who just want to live a peaceful, happy life without targeted cruelty…disrespect and hatred…

Can… We… Fix… Us?

Tune in…bring your popcorn…your compassion…your humanity…

And if there’s a crowd…and you’re indoors…

Maybe…just maybe…A Mask?
