Women's History Month

Today is the final day of Women's History Month and I would like to give honor to all of the women who has made the world a much better place. The history of women all began in the country of Kenya, thousands of years ago when God created the first people and put them on this earth. Ever since women have been on this land, it has been a struggle for women to have equal rights as men in this world, but there has been a lot of progress over the years including the right to vote for women in the year of 1920 in the United States of America to the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act that our President Obama signed into law in 2009 which helps women to challenge businesses that overlook their work and pay them much less than their male co-workers.

There is still a lot of work to be done regarding women’s rights in this world. For example, there are still some countries that do not allow women and girls to go to school to get a proper education, and there are some women who are being forced into marriage against their will, and there are women who do not have a choice of what they’d like to do with their lives because of oppressive societies. There are still many sexists out there who do not want women to get ahead in life and make a name for themselves in this world which is really sad. Thank God, the Violence Against Women Act passed, but there are still a lot of men who feel it is okay to make music attacking women and girls as they ignorantly claim that it is “cool” and “hip” to do so—when, in actuality, they are really making fools of themselves and causing bad karma for themselves for they should recognize that their degrading of women in music promotes even more ignorance and disrespect of women. So we do have a long way to go for women to be completely free in this world and the evil that have been against women for so long has to end.

This world should honor the good women because without women there would be no world, there would be no men, there would be no people. Women are the ones who bring forth life and nurture life with humanity and spirituality. Let us honor and remember the women throughout history who have made positive impacts on our lives, women such as Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Ida B. Wells, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Madam C. J. Walker, Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King, Betty Shabazz, Oprah Winfrey, Indira Ganhdi, Malala Yousafzai, Sonia Sotomayor, First lady, Michelle Obama, and the list goes on and on. It would be impossible to name all of the heroines out there, but for the heroines who are out there, thank you and continue to do what you do.

God bless you,

A Rembembrance of our Ancestors

Today is the last day of Black History month and I just wanted to give honor to many of our ancestors, the ones who struggled, the ones who died so we can have a better life, the ones who prayed and kept the faith, the ones who believed that times would get better, and the ones who paved the way so all of us could have better opportunities today.

Each time I hear about the history of slavery in America, I always wonder what was it like back then and how could anyone deal with such horrific times, and how could slave owners be so harsh and cruel to other human beings. This post is to give honor to all of our African American ancestors, especially the ones who cared and were courageous enough to stand up, to be heard and to be bold--not caring what others thought or said about them, and not caring about the threats of the racist oppressors, but who just kept on keeping on with accomplishing their goals while taking great risks to ensure we all have freedom.

Here is to Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Maria Stewart, Ida. B Wells, W.E.B. Dubois, Nat Turner, Fannie Lou Hamer, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and the many others who have made such a positive difference in our world today, and for those of us who are still continuing to do right no matter how hard the challenge may seem to make sure this world is a better place for all, including, but not limited to our President Barack Obama.

Thank you and God bless,

Happy MLK Day

Today, January 20, 2014 is the holiday in where we celebrate the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King was a very peaceful man who used the non-violence approach to fight discrimination that was happening to African Americans and other people of color in this country. He stood up for the common man and actually sacrificed his life in order for us to have a better life on earth.

     Today, we should all remember Dr. King and the sacrifice he has made for us. We all should try to be a more peaceful person. This country has gotten much better than how it used to be. For example, we no longer have those racist "For White Only" and "For Colored Only" signs that they had in restaurants, schools, buses, etc in this country over 40 years ago. However, this country is not perfect and there are
still some racist, nasty people out there who want to hurt other people simply because they maybe from another race or religion or culture. It is sad that there is still some left over racist idiots out there that want to hurt other people.

 The best you can do is to pray that God makes everything better and to do your part to be the best person you can be. If you happen to experience a person who maybe acting ignorant towards you, do not show ignorance in return. Show them that they are stupid and be the bigger person and show kindness instead. God will bless you for your good deeds and curse them for their evil deeds.  Don't let the wickedness get to you and make you upset. Continue on God's righteous path. Ask God on exactly what is the best thing to do and God will guide you.

Make it a great new year

We all can make it a great year that is truly worthy by caring for others as you care for yourself, seeking to help those in need and help them, spending time with people who are sick and help bring them cheer when needed, keeping a positive outlook on life and not complain or mumble about things that you may not have, and meditating and letting God guide you. These are just a few great things you can do to make the year greater.
Hope this year brings the good people the desires of  thine heart.
Happy Blessed New Year!
