My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Much too often we find ourselves waiting for our circumstances to change before we attempt to move. Unfortunately, most circumstances don’t change as fast as we would like and sometimes they never change… until we change. Instead of waiting for things to be ideal, it’s so important that we bloom where we are. I’m a witness that if you bloom where you are, your circumstances WILL change. Be Blessed! ~ Shaun
Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in the United States. So many are commemorating his life and legacy in different ways – hosting public celebrations, offering workshops, giving speeches, posting quotes, serving others (National Day of Service), and the list goes on. This year I have decided to share the transcript of his final speech, which was delivered on April 3, 1968, the day before his assassination.
I’ve Been to the Mountaintop
by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
April 3, 1968
Memphis, TN

Even though we are no where near where Dr. King envisioned we would be, I remain hopeful that one day we will live in a world where human lives are valued more than money. Where love, kindness, compassion and empathy are the norms. Where our differences are embraced not tolerated or rejected. Yes.. I choose to remain hopeful that one day we will sing in perfect harmony, and I pray I get a glimpse of it in my lifetime.
Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day!
