I spent my Fourth with my youngest sister. She drove over from Mobile, AL, for an event, and I got to hang out with her for the day. My heart was full, and so was my belly.😊
This is my sister, Sarah (IG link). She’s been a yoga teacher for about ten years.Receiving the cooling towels infused with essential oils was probably my favorite part of the session. It was well over 90° out there! I was HOT!😂I had not planned on participating in the session. I was only going to take pictures and watch. That was my plan… I couldn’t help but join in on the fun.😂This was my view from the mat. As you can see, it was a beautiful day.Hanging out after the session and enjoying the vibes and good music.Our Fourth of July meal. Curried goat and fixins.😋
Overall, my weekend has been great so far. I don’t have much planned for today. Guess I’ll mostly relax.☺️
I pray you have a beautiful Sunday. Be sure to relax too.♥️
I believe Frederick Douglass’ descendants reading his “Fourth of July” speech is just as powerful as the speech itself. It is up to us to continue the difficult conversations surrounding racial issues, even on Independence Day.
Honestly, I considered not sharing this video. I did not want to interrupt the happy celebrations. But are the celebrations truly joyous? Because after the fireworks, BBQs, SAFE social gatherings, and “Happy 4th of July” pictures and posts, racial inequality remains. I mean.. only a few days ago Mississippi finally removed its racially divisive flag— in 2020!! What year did the United States gain its independence? Umm..1776. What year was slavery abolished in the United States? Supposedly 1865. And what year is this, again? Hmm.. 2020 in the 21st century.
Y’all, we cannot continue to pretend everything is okay, because IT IS NOT. Change is happening NOW, and WE must keep up the momentum. We cannot sit back and wait for another great leader to come along and tell us what to do. They have already done that. They have already equipped us with everything we need. Now it is our time to follow through. Not tomorrow or next month, but NOW!
Who’s with me?!
P.S. Be sure to watch the commentary at the end of the video. POWERFUL‼️ #HappyFourthOfJuly
