My family and I have gone through a year of changes, most of them traumatic, painful and which left us reeling.Thank God for resiliency! Things are coming around full circle. What I've learned in the past twelve months is that we don't HAVE to live the life we are living. Even in the midst of the storm, when it seems hopeless, we can make a conscious effort to change what we can from the inside, in how we see our situation at the present time and how it can be in the future. We are not our circumstances, unless we choose to be.
In the past months I've been growing within. I'm walking closer to the Lord and I'm seeking the truth that is me. I'm stepping out the mold and kicking it to the curb. No more being bound by what others think I should be and do. Not to say that I've played a pawn figure in someone's game. Its just that stuff is changing and I'm letting go of old habits and hang-ups. If the world (my world) can't deal with it then they can deal without me. My game, my rules.
My interests have evolved I've and my mindset has expanded. I am embracing the things that I love and the things that I want to know more about. It's NEVER too late to grow and LIVE, that is, until you die. I've stayed away from my blog because I wasn't really sure what I wanted to focus on, what my "cause" would be. Well I can't sit around all day waiting for it to pop up and say "here I is!"
Some of my new passions are family genealogy, Black and Native history, art, food and stories. I want to explore how Black and Native women crafted and developed creative ways to express who they are. I want to know about quilting and the history that goes along with it, I want to learn about herbal medicine and natural ways to live, I want to know about sustainability and self-reliance. I want to tell my grandchildren their history and herstory.
What I most want to explore is uplifting Black women, elevating us to the queens we are genetically created to be. I want to explore the strength and dignity behind the women who's back this nation was built upon.
I could go on and on but I'll stop here because even as I type, ideas keep presenting themselves to me and it can be a bit overwhelming. So its time to sit back and let it simmer while jotting down what touches me most.
