Abundance

I claim abundance. I deserve abundance. I own abundance.

Selma

Today I saw Selma with my sorors. It was amazing. It was heart wrenching. I am in awe of the courage Congressman Lewis and all the solidiers for justice. I was in tears, I was angry and I was educated.  I was inspired and I gained courage.  I fear no one and no man. I thought about my parents especially my mother  who registered to vote at 21 in Malvern Arkansas.  By herself and  she had two children at the time and her husband was in Alaska. She had the courage to do this. I forgot about when I was 3 and we had left California and moved to Malvern Arkansas and I asked my mother for ice cream from the ice cream shop and she told me no. I asked her why? She did not explain. She instead steeled herself up.

 Held my hand tightly and walked into the drugstore and bought me an ice cream cone. Years later as an adult she explained to me how FRIGHTENED she was to go into the drug store to buy me an ice cream cone  I am humbled by that. I am even more committed to ensure that our young people understand the importance of voting. Understand how easy it is to vote. . That our mothers and fathers did  not. For Ray C. Williams and  Bobbie Jean,  I'll continue to work with our returning citizens to inform them as to how they can get their voting rights back as well as to register and encourage everyone in our communities to engage our legislators to meet our needs. 

So in honor of Selma, my mom, my dad, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Congressman John Lewis and all the other soldiers of justice, who have gone on and the ones who continue to stand and fight. I urge you that if you are registered to vote,
VOTE!!!! I implore you that if you are not registered to vote -Register. I beg of you , if you have lost your right to vote due to a felony, come to my clinic on 1/26/2015 @6:15 pm @ the Main Street Library and learn how you can get your right to vote back.

Martin Luther King's Holiday...

Monday, was a federal holiday. It was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. day.  Dr. King was a visionary, charismatic, complicated, flawed, brilliant, courageous and an agent of change. He was the face of the civil rights movement. When folks think of Dr. King,  they think that he was the civil rights movement..he wasnt. There were thousands of people who soldiered towards change. 

I ask that today, you be inspired by Dr. King and the thousands of unharreled soldiers of justice. I ask on this Tuesday that you make a concerted decision to help, to inform, empower an encourage someone. One person can make a difference. A small group bring about change.  Lastly, go see Selma...be inspired.

Walking in Your Purpose affecting change

This week was amazing. My committee successfully organized and despite naysayers a very successful Founders day celebration.
Over 102 was in attendance. Attended our areawide Founders Day hosted by Chesapeake Virginia chapter. Met and mingled with Delta dignitaries. Laughed with sorors and was inspired by our 24th President- Cynthia Butler McIntyre to believe and be more...do more.. Allow God to move you and to know 1person can make a difference.
Then I heard that a friend, Nigel Christopher aka Dj Big Dose was killed in a tragic accident while on vacation. He was one of the first media personalities to believe in the restoration of rights. He was inspiring and cerebral. He lived his purpose. He left his footprint.

Soror Butler McIntyre charged us to use our heads, heart and hands to change our world. She charged us to leave a footprint. Nigel Christopher aka Big Dose you left a huge footprint.. My brother a huge one.

Founders Day always reenergizes me. I am reminded of the walk..work..and risk 22 women took.
I can do this. You can do this. We can do this. We shall become the agents of change in our spears of influence.

Doors are opening, because baby..I'm a knockin

Its been 11 months today, that I have not worked for the state of Virginia. I have taken classes, been on interviews, on unemployment and building my business.
I thought it would be easier.. It wasn't. I thought that I would be more focused, I wasn't. I thought that I would be scared, I was. I thought that I would fail, I didn't. I thought, that I would get weaker, I did not.

Building a business is my calling. It is what I have always dreamed about and although, I am scared...I am stronger. Today, I worked all day on my business. A full 8 hour day.

Every, minute was for Opn-door communications. Every second was for my business. I have stumbled. I have made missteps...but I am still standing....I am planning and executing these plans.

Doors are opening, because baby..I am knocking!!!

Do you deserve..or you deserving

The last two days, I have been afraid. I felt undeserving. I felt unable. I compared my life to others. I felt that my failure to follow certain steps caused me to stumble.

On Sunday, I woke up...I looked the world in the face and begin working.
I knew, that I was deserving. I knew.. I was amazing. I know that I do not have to cross all the ts and dot all the is. I know that God has created me uniquely in HIS image.

I and my girl, Cookie sit in the sanctuary of Gethsemane and Rev Riddick has reiterated that we are deserving.

You will not do it right according to the book..but if you do it and you believe it it...you have done it right!!!
2015...decide that you are deserving and walk with God in your divine purpose.
