Black History Month
Observing Black History Month
This observance month needs to be put in proper perspective.  It isn't about elevating the black person just because.  It is about keeping the valuable contributions that black people have made alive and relevant in history.  Let us all take some time to really examine the contributions that have been made to seeing the end to slavery, music, medical procedures, science, etc from our fellow mankind.  Black History is American History.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
