HOLD-UP, WAIT - A - MINUTE !

* - an update on Susan’s contest

- Susan has increased the value by deciding to include both Chapters 1 & 2 of her new book.

These Chapters provide a easy to follow instruction manual on how to discover awareness, believe in change, and implement a plan to begin moving your life in a new direction.

Many books provided by teachers like Chopra, Dyer, and company provide concepts but NO or little instruction.

Susan has lived the transformation and she wants to share the steps she took to gain the lasting positive results she enjoys today.

As we near the end of another glorious
Black History Month,let us remember what
the struggle was and is all about.As I had
said in my post on ” Rights and Privileges.”
In my opinion,it’s mainly about Rights and
Privileges.Then,I thought to myself.The
Rights and Privileges would be meaningless
without the “Freedom”to enjoy them.
If you can’t identify with the Black History
part of Black History Month,surely you can
relate to the civil rights aspect of it.We
need to realize that civil rights and freedom
are the ties that binds us ( all sexes,races,and
nationalities )together.We all desire our
freedom and we definitely want our rights
and privileges.

Now here comes the real shocker,
” Freedom Ain’t Free Y’all.”

Just think about all the people who sacrificed
their lives to ensure our “freedom.” It wasn’t
just because they had courage.It was mainly
because of their strong convictions about
“freedom.” “Freedom” not only for themselves,
but freedom for their families,friends,relatives,
and their lovedones.Their beliefs in “freedom”
was so strong ; they humbly gave up their
lives.
I read on another community’s blogsite,where
the author said that we should include more of the
Black History( Afro-American Civil Rights )stories in
our homes,churches,and schools.I agree with the
author.The stories should be told of how brave
white men and women ,along with black men,women

boys and girls helped and participated in
the movement.Not only white people,but other
different nationalities as well.[Nobody ever does
anything great on their own.]I reallybelieve that
others would want to learn more if they had names,
pictures,and videos about the non-black people
and white people who played a part in making
civil rights,privileges,and “Freedom” available to all.

Remember this:

Without History,there would be no,
American History.Without American History,
there would be no Afro-American History.
Without Afro-American History there would be
no Black History Month.Without Black History
Month, “History just wouldn’t be the same!”
