Currently sitting on the couch by the fireplace watching, Pride and Prejudice. While eating sour punch straws and finishing up reading, The Bluest Eye. If this isn’t self-care, then I don’t know what is.
Don't reduce MLK to an annual quote on social media.
Live out the dream
Seek first the Kingdom of God
Confront evil
Be a truth-teller
Seek justice
Advocate for the poor
Pursue reconciliation
Love your neighbors
Forgive your enemies
Live a committed life of peace, love, justice.
