You may kneel…

But place your right hand over your heart… It is a moment that should be beyond any agenda… It is a time to show gratitude and humbleness… Kneel… But remember someone fought for your right to kneel without being jailed or murdered… Someone’s family gave up precious time with a loved one, for a moment or for forever… I lost an uncle for your right to kneel… I worried for 24/7 for 1,460 days over a brother for your right to kneel… So you kneel BUT you salute those who sacrificed…

Angry with our government? Angry with the police? That’s ok. I too struggle at times. But I see how truly fortunate I am to be living in a developed country with a police force that is not privatised and is ruled by the same laws that rule me… So I place my hand over my heart and give thanks to those who fought and are fighting for me… And for you

You may kneel… But I tell you that you should also place your right hand over your heart… As for me and my loves, we will stand… With hand over heart giving thanks… Even when the chaos and corruption of others frustrates and baffles, we will stand because we fortunately can ❤

my apologies…

I want to apologize for my last post under ‘Deep Thoughts’…first I want to clarify that, for me, ignorance is not stupidity nor an insult….it is simply a lack of education on a topic that can always be remedied by choosing to educate oneself…education does not always change your opinion…but from that point forward, you have true and solid backing for your belief…it’s your belief and not your family’s, the media’s, your peer’s…NOW, I want to apologize for my statement…as I observe the news, social media posts, people’s comments on politics I have come to the realization that the majority of citizens want the same thing: human rights, equal rights, peace and truth; yes, the balance of which or the definition of which is and always will be up for debate BUT for the most part we all lean towards the same goals…what is happening is we are caught up in the fight between parties, political system ideas/threats by those parties and people in power which is fueled by the media (do some research…most news outlets are owned by the same families and intertwine somehow with one another) and then the media bombards us 24/7 with their agenda…so, we get caught in the middle…fighting and taking sides when what needs to happen is we say NO…we do not give our energies to those in power, to those in the media…but we give our energies to one another and ask one another questions and LISTEN…and breathe, finding common ground and understanding…if we each step in that direction, like a domino effect as we continue to listen, talk, travel, grow, reach out with love we will start to see true change in this country that is not political party, political system or the rich/powerful related but is HUMAN (citizen) related…so my apologies for falling into that trap of fear and anger due to the hype of the media and politicians…let’s stop pointing fingers, being defensive, living in a state of fear…and start at home with change: listening, asking questions, finding common ground…let us see where that step takes us…it is like the lyric from the song Head Full of Doubt, Road Full of Promise by The Avette Brothers: “… and your life doesn’t change by the man that’s elected…” because, it honestly doesn’t…love and peace to all💕

Idealism:Unrealistic

Capitalism is a good thing. It’s just corrupt and ignorant. However, you still have CHOICE. Desire for socialism? You are the ignorant. The corrupt is still in charge. Your choice: GONE. Side note: Norwegian countries aren’t socialism. They are a combo of political systems. If you want to refer to these countries as ideal…get your facts straight. Socialism – looks great on paper, but in practice it is not ideal and unrealistic.

Twitter writer…anyone?

If politicians have speech writers, they should also have twitter writers. It is too easy to type fast and hit post in the heat of the moment. They hold important public offices and should be held to a higher level of standard with what they put out on social media. All parties. Also, if it takes 100 questions to break-up with Facebook, a politician should be asked 100 times if the post should be posted. “Have you calmed down?” “Have you thought this through?” “Have you talked this post over with ANYONE besides your bff or groupie?” “Post? Are you sure?” “Are you REALLY sure?”
