It is quite the challenge to stand up in times when the odds are stacked against us. We have not only endured a SWAT raid, held at gunpoint for 10 hours, with even our children (one only 2 weeks old at the time) under the gun, but we have also defended against Child Protective Services that attempted to have their way with the children. It's a very sick system. Unfortunately, and fortunately, it is us doing this to ourselves. It's super sick, but because it is us, we have the ability to make change.
Thanks for seeing us @olawalium, and for your support. Wise move tuning into @quinneaker. He really has an exceptional perspective and so very dedicated to his vision.
Wow! You've been under so much yet still standing. That's selfless. I believe in you, your fights and ideas. I'm with you everytime. It will end in praise. I love this: "...but because it is us, we have the ability to make change." Change is what we seek and we will be deliberate about it till we find it.
Responsibility really is key. Blaming others or circumstances keeps us in the pattern. We are the power!!!
Grateful to share awareness of these things @olawalium.
Yes, we are used to blaming others when we are the one not taking steps. Nobody is responsible for us, we are. No one owes us anything, but we should take steps too.
